Location: Long Beach, New York


Age: 59


How primal: I've been eating low carb and mostly protein and veggies for many years now.


Dairy: I consume little dairy for I believe it contributes to osteoporosis.


Coffee or Tea: I have been doing green tea once a day for 2 years now. I do coffee on and off, but would prefer to give it up totally.


Motivation for going Primal: High fiber, low fat weight watchers diet got me 20 lbs. lighter, but cholesterol profile worsened. Research and found out that high sugar/starch diet will do that. So I switched and got rid of all high carbs.


exercise: Love to dance, walk, push ups, lunges. My doctor said my heart rate was better then a long distance runner. I was just taking 1 jazz and 1 ballet class a week, and walking on the other days about 1 or 2 miles.


Favorite food: steak and veggies


Best part of being primal: cooking is so easy and a meal can be made in 15 minutes or less


Worst part of being primal: Not knowing what they put in your food at restaurants even if you order a simple steak and veggie.

Age (If you want): 35


How Primal are you: 80+%


Do you consume dairy: yes -- 4oz. kefir in my morning smoothing & a glass of whole milk pre-bed. not super-primal, but I'm trying to add some weight.


Do you drink coffee or tea: occasional coffee, but I love green tea.


Motivator for switching to Primal: health, weight loss, and I love steak.


Favorite exercise: heavy deadlifts, sledgehammer swings, and barefoot sprinting.


Favorite Primal food: grass-fed steak & omega-3 eggs


Best part about being Primal: figuring out cool new recipes or tweaks to existing recipes to make them Primal. I love to cook, and the "constraint" of the PB actually makes things more interesting.


Worst part about being Primal: coordinating w/ my wife, who is absolutely ripped but can't part with grains.

[mettawillow]

Your location: Kona, HI

Age (If you want): too old!

How Primal are you: medium-low. I just started!

Do you consume dairy: milk on coffee, whey-based protien supplement

Do you drink coffee or tea: both

Motivator for switching to Primal: better health

Favorite exercise: walking, swimming

Favorite Primal food: don't have one

Best part about being Primal: fresh start

Worst part about being Primal: I don't want to eat animal products. It's bad enough being addicted to milk in my coffee.


I have recently had surgery that renders me dependent on protein supplementation, and have found no better source than whey-based powder, I'd like to get off that, too, because it's not possible to find that product sourced from grass-fed, organic cattle, and I'm vegetarian but for milk and whey products.

I'd like to learn more about how to do this as a vegetarian.
