Just thought I'd get some input from some of my fellow primal women around here!

I've had bouts of irregular/non-existent periods off and on for the past four or five years. I went to the doctor...

I love sardines! I think the only thing to watch out for is to make sure they're packed in either water or olive oil, since some brands use the dreaded soybean oil.

I like to eat mine straight...

Although I've given up making jam, I've found that most chutney's work really well without sugar, since they are often fruit based. I've made mango chutney, kiwi chutney and banana chutney all...

Thanks for the responses! Rivvin, It's great to hear from someone who's had success with PB and diverticulitis.

Yeah, she'll definitely have to talk to her doctor, but not even Conventional...

So, I'm hoping my fellow Groks can help me track down some resources relating to a primal or paleo diet and diverticulitis. I've been trawling the web and haven't had much success with my usual...

I just thought I'd add my 2p from my experience eating primally on a student budget in the UK!

I definitely agree that organic is not a must when the budget is tight. I generally only buy is when...

In addition to the above... hard boiled eggs, chopped veggies for salads in tupperware containers (bring the dressing separately in a small bottle), avocados, canned fish to add to the salad.

Are you planning to use your Vibram's for hiking? I do a lot of hiking, but I'm not quite brave enough yet to abandon my perfectly broken in hiking boots!

Thanks MeatMe! I'm hoping to hear something soon! I studied German and Russian, which was a lot of fun. Even though I got a bit sick of the academic side of things, I still find languages really...

Hey MeatMe, I'm from eastern PA. I'm still on the job hunt but I'll probably end up working somewhere in the Adirondacks or Catskills, I'm pretty excited to get outside again! Dairy has never...

Food porn is right, those meals look delicious!

I had a lot of trouble breaking out of the "breakfast must include dairy and not be savory" rut! I ended up doing a pretty slow transition, so for a while I would have my yogurt with coconut and...

Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you've been making some great progress! I loved the description of your impromptu workout! :)

I know what you mean about the "relationship with food". Part of what I love about backpacking and hiking is that food is just fuel, without all the emotional baggage. Makes everything so much...

A good day today, the job search is going well, so I'll probably have a job by the time I graduate, which is fabulous!

Here's today:

B: fried egg with sauerkraut, cucumber carrot and mussels,...

Still feeling great. Getting quite introspective and a bit down in the evenings, since for various reasons I don't have many friends nearby and my family is of course still in the States. So when...

I got so excited about the food I totally forgot to mention the exercise!

A good half hour of walking today and also my first day of Simple Fit. I did Day 1 of Level 4 today and managed 16 rounds...

I have been feeling fantastic the last few days. I'm really terrible at identifying when I'm stressed, so all this semester I thought I was handling everything just fine. Then the crunch before...

I agree with unchatenfrance, and I would also suggest that you don't reheat it in the microwave, since it can heat quite unevenly. If you heat up a bowl's worth on the stovetop you can make sure...

Salsa was chunky, but since it was just there for flavor and sauce volume I'm sure smooth would work just fine :-)

No, not sauce made out of moles, I mean the Mexican sauce that is often made with chile and chocolate :D

Last night was roast chicken night and I had a hankering for something a little different,...

It was warm and drizzly yesterday morning, so I had nice walk before breakfast to collect snails! I now have a few dozen in various tupperware containers feasting on cabbage leaves. I am quite...

I suspected this might be the case. The local eggs I buy aren't from a big company by any means, but I'm sure it's still possible that they give their chickens a little extra something to make the...

Awesome thread! After reading all this I'm glad I never got converted to the "wash hair everyday" camp. I have medium thick but very curly hair which I only have to wash once or twice a week. I...

Got quite hungry in the evening so add a spoonful of cream and a bit more dried coconut to the above! (1978 calories, 148 g fat in total) I'm thinking I should get a fresh coconut and maybe some...
