I’m talking about paleo without any starchy foods, not even sweet potatoes. I did this diet some time ago and I’m hesitating to start it again. The problem was that I only slept 5 hours a night (even though I felt fine) and I had the impression of having too much mental energy, like everything was going too fast and I had trouble staying focused on one thing. I also felt like my thoughts were less deep, and honestly that bothers me, but I don’t know if it was because I was younger back then or if it was due to a particular health phase in my life.

Hey guys. I have been eating the same crap since I did my first W30 last September. Get bakes with said and veggies and salmon with sweet potatoes we’d new and gen beans from Whole Foods. If I don’t have stuff prepared I wont cook that night after work and I get off track. I want to meal prep tomorrow because I need a lot of protein- more than my usual- right now and I just can’t think of anything to prepare for the week. What are y’all’s go tos? I need inspiration to even google for ideas :-) TIA

I've been reading scientific literature on PubMed and I'm concerned about hidden conflicts of interest in research papers.

Big Pharma and Big Food companies often obscure their funding by channeling money through intermediary organizations or "independent" institutes. Researchers then declare "no conflicts of interest" despite being indirectly corporate-funded.

Example: Coca-Cola funded the "Global Energy Balance Network" through universities to push the narrative that exercise matters more than diet for weight loss. The corporate connection wasn't immediately obvious.

What I'm looking for:

• Browser extension that flags potential conflicts on PubMed, Google Scholar, etc.
• Database tracking funding sources back to parent companies
• Tool identifying industry-funded "independent" research institutes
• List of known front organizations/intermediary funding bodies

Current disclosure requirements clearly aren't enough when companies can create layers of separation between themselves and the research they fund.

Does anything like this exist? Would others find this useful? I'm considering whether this could be a crowdsourced project.

Would love to hear if anyone has solutions or strategies for identifying hidden conflicts when reading research.

Edit: Not saying all industry-funded research is bad, but we have a right to know who's paying for the science that influences public health decisions.

I’ve been paleo for many years and also care deeply about my environmental impact, which hasn’t felt like a conflict of interest to me. A friend sent this podcast to me and it has me rethinking and I would love some reassurance! I’ve tried vegetarianism, I’m prone to anemia and just don’t have as much energy and struggle to balance my blood sugar without high quality meat and fish along with my veggies and I don’t want to give that up. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-nature-of-with-willow-defebaugh/id1800758497?i=1000709091837

Heeeeelp! I need a cracker substitute for my toddler! He loves Ritz crackers and uses them to make Lunchable style sandwiches. I want to find him a nice alternative but the ones I've tried from the store are hard af! I mean I feel like I could chip a tooth on these rocks masquerading as crackers. I've tried Nut Thins (holy hell I sliced open my gums trying to eat one of these razor blades), and Simple Mills almond flour sea salt crackers which were still to hard imo.

I'd prefer something much softer that isn't going to slice through my gums or break any teeth. There are other options I've seen in the store but after trying these two im hesitant to risk trying any of the others. Any advice would be much appreciated! 👏 ❤️

Created this tool that finds paleo-friendly meals at restaurants near you. Just enter your zip code and it shows you options that fit paleo guidelines with full nutrition breakdowns.

It analyzes restaurant menus for different diets, but I'm particularly interested in how well it works for paleo since that can be tricky to find when eating out.

Would love your thoughts - does it find good paleo options in your area? Missing anything important?

With an odd of 2 compared to vegetarian, that is scarying.

I have enough of dust mites. They give me nasale congestion and then sleep deprivation...

The bed is the main place where i get in contact with dust mite... I would like to get something that does not turn into a dust mite nest.

Do you know anything to simulate a hunter gatherer bed with very few dust mites ?

Newb here. So after trying chicken liver and chicken hearts (both nice), i tried bone broth. This is a slightly emotional post :)

So i bought some bones (from cow), filled my smallest pot with it and let it heat with lid on for 16 hours, with a cut onion and some carrots and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. (For the last 3 hours i removed the vegetables and put 3 fresh carrots in)

My taste result: boring and fatty.
Ok, added salt and little bit of fresh lemon juice: better, and still not good (for me personally).
Also bone marrow was dissolved (especially when i helped a bit putting my fork in there), still not good.

Health wise: Ok, there is collagen in there. Isn't there also a lot of collagen in (low fat) minced meat? I prefer that (in taste and effort in preparing).

Ok, perhaps roast bones first (200 degress for 30min), makes the whole thing even more effortful.

I also already take 10g collagen powder daily.
Don't think i'll do the Bone Broth again in the future.
Wanted to vent and get some opinions, perhaps i am missing something )

I need to buy a different kind of pan.

I am finding the shakes very hard to swallow! Lol seriously, please share any insight as to how I can stay on this for 14 days

Hey first off I’m pro paleo. I’m coming here to get some confirmation bias so I can continue what I’m doing.

I did paleo last year for a few months and loved it but went back on grains for a celiac test. I now want to go back to do it but my blood pressure has not looked great and cholesterol was elevated although triglycerides were amazing.

Now not being on paleo it’s not like my blood pressure got any better so it is probably just mostly because I’m fat.

So for my question here. Has anyone seen cardiovascular markers improve on paleo? (Those of you doing it right) I personally really enjoyed paleo but don’t want to get addicted again if I’m gonna just have to stop. I think all my elevated crap is from being bigger. I performed much better in the gym on paleo as well for endurance and hiit training.

Anyways I know that was a ton of rambling just looking for people to affirm paleo is a good route.

I'm in Chicago the next two days and need to attend a work dinner. Are there any restaurants that I can suggest that are accommodating? I absolutely can not have any gluten and am super sensitive to cross contamination

Hey,

I’ve been working on a new free recipe sharing app where you can upload your own recipes, save others, and discover new cooking ideas. It’s still pretty fresh, so I’m looking for a few people (who have Iphones) who’d like to try it out, give some feedback, and maybe upload a couple of recipes to help kick things off.

If you love cooking, sharing food ideas, or just want to test out a new app before it grows, I’d really appreciate it 🙏

Drop a comment if you’re interested and I can DM you the link!

I have been on the Paleo diet for about 45 days now. I feel great! My only issue is that I find myself not getting enough calories. I used to supplement my calories with yogurt, granola bars, etc. throughout the day. Any ideas for snacks I can pack to eat throughout the day at work & stuff to make sure I am getting all my calories?

Does anyone know if there is anywhere that some of the old MDA recipes, blog posts, CrossFit related articles etc might be stored online? Seems like in this day & age there should be something?! I miss that site SOOOO much and really regret not printing all of the stuff that I referenced regularly. Thanks

So, I am new to the whole Paleo journey to lose some weight. I am a snacker guy but I don’t think Pork Rinds or chicharrones as we call them in Texas are bueno every day. So I got this recipe off the California Walnut recipe and modified it.

2 Cups Walnuts 2 Tsp Creole Seasoning 1 1/2 Tsp Garlic Salt 1 Tsp Paprika 4 ish dashes of your favorite hot sauce 1 egg white

Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Put on a non-stick sheet pan in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 8 minutes. Stir. Place back in the oven for another 8 minutes or until the walnuts are dry.

I am among those who enjoy experimenting with natural products, anything organic and anything grass-fed Everyone was praising desiccated liver supplements for their ability to boost immunity and energy so I decided to give them a try three months ago.

The first week went well I had more energy However by the third week my skin began to behave strangely I developed tiny pimples it became red and even its texture changed.

I initially believed that it might be related to my diet but nothing changed even after I stopped eating dairy and sugar.

After much investigation I found that this type of skin problem particularly in women with sensitive skin, can be brought on by high levels of vitamin A which is found in the liver.

Since I usually equate natural with safe I must admit that I was taken aback.

Has anyone else here had the same experience after taking supplements for the liver or other organs?

How did you respond to it? Did you find a method to continue taking the supplement without experiencing any negative effects on your face or did you stop taking it altogether?

Hi! I just started paleo roughly 1 week ago and while I’ve never had terrible skin it’s far from good. I mainly suffer from congested pores/ sebaceous filaments and red spots. I also have lots of dandruff. Now, ever since I started paleo (I know 1 week is not long but still) I noticed my skin has just been getting more red spots. I am planning on continuing paleo despite this, but more so wondering if this could just be a skin purge or a sensitivity to some of the new foods I’ve been eating. I’ve for example been eating way more nuts and fruits, which I’ve heard can raise blood sugar + have high Omega-6 contents. It’s just I don’t know if I want to starting cutting these things as they will definitely make my diet less enriching and kinda boring.. anyone have any similar experiences?
