I changed to primal lifestyle 3 weeks ago... lost 2.5kg in 8 days...and nothing since then? I am not good with breakfast, have resorted to a whey protein/fresh berry shake in the morning...have no problem eliminating carbs, but cannot get my head around the breakfast options... I have another 10kg to shake off and would like to speed up the process?

Also add in more salt in the beginning! I had killer headaches and bad flu, then I started over, slower this time and with LOTS of salt. I think I'm retaining water from it still, but it sure makes the headaches and crappy feeling go away. This time around I'm great! I think the salt is important.

If you like a salty taste, pick up some umeboshi plum vinegar. It's like a brine. Really good in salad dressing.

Hello. I will go by Marita. I received the 21 day book Thursday and read through it. I have been hearing bits and pieces for a while and now I def. want to do this. I have been trying to eat primal all at once, but I am a diabetic with all the symptoms and problems of metabolic syndrome. I am on meds and have been very hypoglycemic. What do I do about the T2D meds? I am on Metformin 1000 mg twice a day, glyburide 5 mg twice a day and meds for high bp, high cholesterol, depression, and I have psoriasis. Please advise.

Stay on the meds until your doc takes you off them.

Hello all....probably on my third week transitioning into all of this. Coming from what I thought was the "right" way to eat, this is all new to me. I will say that, even not being very strict (almost no grains, with a few small slip ups, and a fair amount of beer), I feel outstanding and I think I've probably lost a few pounds and fat. The biggest problem I think I have is the mental block with going all-in with the fatty steak, bacon, butter, etc. I guess like everyone says, I'll trust everyone before me and see for myself.

One thing I'm noticing though, is I'm worried that I'm not actually eating enough. I could almost go one meal a day at this point. Should I force myself to eat every ? hours in order to make sure I have enough fat/fuel in my body? Or just eat primal foods when I'm hungry?

Also...what about lean meat? If I don't want to load up on bacon and butter and steak everyday, is it ok to work in some skinless chicken breasts grilled with olive oil, or something of the like? I love bacon, butter and steak, but I actually do like some "conventional" healthy foods as well. Is the drive towards these fatty meats a "requirement" or is it more of a 'because you can, why not?' type of thing?

Thanks all...looking forward to seeing how this all goes.
