I really hope this is true. Salt is my major weakness, and it goes so well with Primal foods. I eat lots of salt, and my blood pressure is currently great--but I'm in my early 20s, so I'm keeping a...

Wow, that sounds fantastic! Congratulations on your progress! I've been wavering over the idea of giving up my gym membership when it runs out at the end of the month, but this is helping convince me...

I like this way of looking at it. It's like the motto I made up for myself when I was losing weight the CW way: "Don't make bad food choices alone." I think it was a good motto--it gave me an excuse...

Hi, and welcome!

Okay, I'll admit it--I may have stalked your posts and found this intro thread just because I wanted to comment on your signature. There have been all these weird, spammy...

+1.

If you don't like the taste of plain rice or potatoes, then that's great; you're lucky not to be tempted by those foods. The fact of the matter is that different people have different taste...

Asparagus sauteed in olive oil has always been in my list of Best Foods Ever. Also, boiled asparagus dipped in a mixture of (primal) mayonnaise and (gluten-free, I guess) soy sauce. Asparagus season...

I probably could have answered "No more than once per week" if it weren't for butter. I haven't heard anything to convince me that giving up butter would be a good thing for me; additionally, I love...

I love Ghirardelli's 86% chocolate, but I thought their 100% tasted pretty terrible. In contrast, I thought Trader Joe's 100% baking disks tasted great--they had a real flavor, not just a flavor of...

Hah, thanks--I wish that worked. The only drinks I've ever gotten for free were pity drinks a couple of times when I was sitting alone at the bar, watching my hockey team get the crap beaten out of...

Whoa, back up for a second there. My dad's been eating natto around me for as long as I can remember, hoping I would acclimate to the smell, and still to this day I cannot fathom voluntarily eating a...

Well, if you did want to get hammered, you could probably get there quicker after a day-long fast...

(It's sad that I'm so cheap about bar tabs that I've considered this.)

How did this thread get no comments its first time around? Thanks for bumping it, gregjames.

Anyhow, cmw--you look fantastic. :) Hope you're doing well on the tumor front.

(P.S. I am so jealous...

Holy crap.

I'm not taking out the image in my quote because this deserves DOUBLE food porn status. Holy CRAP.

I am doing this ASAP.

If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, definitely check out the app called Sleep Cycle. It only costs a dollar (and you also need a way to plug your phone in by your bed). Basically, you stick it in...

I'm pretty sure I dropped about a shoe size after losing ~100 lbs a few years ago. In addition to losing marginal amounts of fat from my feet themselves, I think the reduced load on them meant they...

Sounds like a simple furikake! Probably healthier than most, though. Even before I went Primal, I knew furikake was a problem condiment for me because I could eat a whole pot of fresh rice when I...

I'm a fan of juice (or lemonade) cut heavily with sparkling water. I drank a lot of this combo last summer before I started the PB, but I'll probably indulge occasionally this summer, too--it's like...

I made Primal mayonnaise the other day with avocado oil (after my olive oil mayo turned out pretty awful-tasting). The avocado oil didn't seem to have much of a flavor at all, and it made great mayo....

Sorry, by "stuff" I meant nori, not the oil itself. I could definitely roast my own Primal nori; I just like the convenience of the packs. :p

Yay, another hapa! :D

Sesame oil is on the "acceptable" list according to Mark; my problem is just that I'm not currently near any Asian markets, so I end up buying the stuff from Trader Joe's,...

Oooh, that looks delicious.

I'm half-Japanese and grew up snacking on rice with teriyaki nori (not the kind that goes on sushi; that's usually unflavored and pretty boring on its own), but I will...

I'm just getting over one of those now, which is one of the reasons I was motivated to post this!

I bought some potassium supplements and started taking them last night, so I'll report back on how...

Man, pork belly IS delicious. Now I'm craving it.

Sorry, that's--uh, pretty much all I came here to say, haha. Shoulder is another fatty cut, I believe, and any sort of steak with streaky marbling...

I cook just for myself, so I was downright thrilled to find at Whole Foods, on Easter Sunday, a chunk of leg of lamb that weighed just under 2 pounds. It was like they put it there for me.

I...

Before I "took the plunge," I actually went through and thought of every single non-Primal food (specifics, like a croissant from a certain cafe, dessert at a certain restaurant) that was standing...
