    That's like comparing intercourse to a pap smear. Quite a different experience, in my opinion!

    I think I need to be very careful as I end my Whole30. The last time I did one I ended the day before Thanksgiving - bad timing! I ate everything at Thanksgiving dinner, and therefore...

    Actually, it was a mango-rita (margarita) - my mistake! It turned out that drinking was not a big part of the dinner so that was easier than I expected, but I bet some of the meat was not Whole30...

    A challenge coming up tonight - I'm going out to dinner with friend to a Brazilian BBQ place. Obviously there will be tons of meat, which is easy. Their side dishes aren't that great anyway so that...

    I have a huge crush on John Durant, of hunter-gatherer.com. There used to be swimsuit photos of him on his blog from a polar bear swim, but I couldn't find them! :(

    Comma, maybe you are not eating enough carbs, or enough food in general? I'm finding it quite hard to get enough food in me and need to plan better. My meals consist of good food, but there needs to...

    Hi Jenn26, I'm not on Sparkpeople much at all. This was the first time I tracked my food in many months. I think I'll do it every once in a while - it was illuminating!

    Don't listen to a word I said about shaking the coffee and oil in a mason jar. I tried blending it with a stick blender - wow! What a difference - creamy and frothy! That's my method from now on.

    I would buy go to a few farmers' markets, ask around about who sells sides of beef, and buy a small amount from those farmers. Some farmers who don't sell at farmers' markets might sell small amounts...

    Hi Paul,
    My side of beef was $3.10/pound hanging weight. When I did the math last year, it worked out to about $4.60/pound of actual meat (I didn't mean to be so specific and type $4.69 - typo!)....

    Wow, that's really pricy. I pay around $4.69/pound for a side of beef. However, I live in Vermont, which is locavore heaven.

    I put a spoonful of coconut oil in a mason jar, add the coffee, and shake the bejeezus out of it. I'm too lazy to wash an oily blender, and my method works pretty well.

    I know a few people who are marginally interested, but haven't gone so far as to give up grains. Lots of people around here are into real food, however.
