You may find it cheaper online than in a shop. I dont think I can post the link but I use 'Buy Wholefoods Online' for nuts and things, I've bought almond butter from there before too.

As MB said paleo is naturally lower in carbs than the standard western diet as you wont be eating any processed carbs, but you will still get plenty of natural carbs from veg and fruit, you could probably find some things online if you wanted to show your friends that its a sensible diet plan to...

Holland and Barratts usually sell it and independent health foods should have it too. What does cashew butter taste like MB? I've never tried it

I saw this the other day, sensible country! :) There is a slow change coming but the attitudes of the people in the NHS and gov need to change and be open to new research and not be still hung up on Ancel Keys and his 'study' in the 70s. The food industry have too big a hold over things and...

Re: Diet issues... Of me, myself & I Lol i hear you about housework, rest is much more important! I manage it with diet (paleo has been a God send), and lots of rest. Its taken a long time to start listening to my body and doing things within my energy levels but I'm so much better than I...

Re: Diet issues... Of me, myself & I Lol think we've cross-wired, I don't think of eating windows as fasting in the traditional sense, so I totally agree with you that doing an eating window daily is ok, I just read from what Tara wrote that what she was wanting to do as different to an...

Hi! Yeah I know fasting can be beneficial I was just querying it with the adrenal fatigue is all :) and also the lengths of fasting and keeping the kcals low every day which can be detrimental. Restrictive eating, i.e. constant low kcals for just 10 weeks can alter hormones such as cortisol...

^^ this just made my day! I'm actually really excited about this :D I havent found bone marrow anywhere and really want to try it. Ahhhh I love waitrose xx

I hope you dont take this the wrong way (never a god start to a sentence :rolleyes: but just want to throw a few things out there) I know you're set on the daily fasting but it seems fasting is not great if have adrenal problems and fasting everyday is not recommended in any of the fasting...

Starting to feel better today, my tummy is more settled but still a tad crampy, head is still dizzy but feeling a bit brighter in myself and slept much better last night as the joint aches are settling. Think its been quite bad as I was already under the weather and basically my immune system...

Yeah, I need to start doing that more, I never seem to get to Morrison's at the right time for the stickered stuff since I moved, when I lived in the city I used to just pop down and get all the bargains like oxtail and the cheaper cuts that no one else seemed to want lol I dont like buying...

lol good idea feeding the family dinner you dont like, at least you shouldnt be tempted that way! When I tried fasting I found, for me, a 5pm to 5pm fast worked best as I could have an evening meal each day, I did 2 of these fasts a week and the rest of the time stuck to an eating window of...

Ok so here goes.... Health: to lose *some* weight and be more comfortable in my clothes (want to lose 13lbs but realistically dont know if that will happen) to lose some body fat % to keep to my sleep routine -that makes me sound like a child lol to do some yoga/Pilates each week to respect...

Whoooo 3 day weeeeekend, and I needs it! The plan is sleep, uni work, buy food, eat, sleep and oh did I mention sleep?! I may do a bit of gentle yoga at home if I can get chance whilst my flatmate is out of the way. Should manage a session each of yoga and Pilates at the gym next week, health...

Got the stew and tomorrow's lunch on, go me! Just waiting for dinner, glad I was proactive and bulk cooked a few portions of savoury mince a few weeks back. Tomorrow's food: GF porridge with banana and coconut milk Chicken and roast veg salad Oxtail stew with cauliflower and possibly sweet...

Absolutely exhausted! Can't wait to get home and see my bed :) Need to cook some food for tomorrow's lunch and get an oxtail stew on in the slow cooker as its a loooong day tomorrow. Sent from my GT-I8190N using MiniMins.com mobile app

Booooo burnt my breakfast! Hope this isnt a sign of the rest of the day to come! scrambled eggs with mushrooms and a banana coconut water, trying this out as I'm always so thirsty on my diuretics so hope this will help hydrate! chicken with veggies savoury mince with sweet potato and veg

GF porridge with banana and coconut milk leftover cold liver :eek: and veggies from last night with chicken thigh banana savoury mince with sweet potato Can't believe that 2 years ago I was a vegetarian and today I ate cold liver lol would *never* have thought I'd ever do that!

GF porridge with coconut milk and a banana 3 cold chicken wings and some plums 3 discs of dark chocolate also ate some of the meat out of the lamb bone broth liver and onions (cooked with mushrooms and cavolo nero) with roasted cauliflower, harlequin squash and marrow Had a bone broth on...

Dinner was a cauliflower risotto (cauli, red onion, cavolo nero, celery, mushrooms and courgette with lamb stock and a touch of lactofree cheese) with sage crusted salmon, looking a bit grey in the picture but tasted amazing! Have also have a couple of plums and a banana today as well as...

How are you doing now? I would agree that you are not eating enough at all. There are small changes you can make; swap the chicken breast for a fattier cut such as chicken thighs, also turkey mince is very low fat and swapping this for a different mince would up your kcals.

awww, I hope the docs get you sorted out :) hopefully it can be managed with dietary changes and stress management *fingers crossed* In a way its a good thing you didnt like the sugary tea or toast lol it'll make sticking to plan a bit easier! I think the best bit about buttered toast is...

Just woke up! Felt like I could sleep forever but things to do. Will be early night tonight as in uni for 9 and not quite figured out the amount of time I need to give the bus. Thankfully the first couple of weeks will be a gentle reintroduction as a few sessions don't start straight away so...

_______________ so thats me drawing a line under all the food and alcohol that I have consumed these past few days! I've had an amazing time and throughly enjoyed my birthday celebrations (and my friend's lol) but back to paleo and healthy living for me now. Ended up in A and E this morning as I...

Safe to say I won't be drinking today lol unless its hair of the dog! Had an amazing night last night, food was gorgeous. I was given the choice of anything off the gluten free menu :eek: which amazed me as there was sooo much choice (and some of the dishes cost more than my ticket! ) My friends...

I love Mumtaz :D and life's all about the 80/20 rule, right?! ;) Sent from my GT-I8190N using MiniMins.com mobile app

I feel for you with the travel, you're definitely going to have to be very organised lol! Hopefully you won't have a crazy timetable, last year mine was pants had huge gaps and 6pm finishes. I was 25 when I started, its not so bad being a "mature" student! age doesn't seem to matter that much...

Today's food: GF coconut porridge with banana and raspberries broc-cauli chowder and chicken wings ***and so it begins lol meal #1 ...... Out for dinner at Bibi's to a Motown night! Double checked with my friend who organised it that they know I need GF, who knows what they will feed me...

Have you tried your little ones with banana pancakes? My sister raves about them, its just mashed banana with egg, I've not tried them as they smell 'banana-ry' lol Good look with the fasting, I tried it for a while, I did 2 24 hour fasts a week (I did like 5pm til 5pm) so I could have dinner...

Thats great and there's nothing wrong with a nap! I'm good thanks :) currently sat deciding whether my flatmate will notice if I put the heating on lol I think it all depends on which or who's version of paleo or primal you do with regards to Greek yogurt! Mark's daily apple says yes to it it...

I know, right, they should have microwaves or something. They'd probably charge to use them though if they did get some lol Wow wicked!!! I'm a bit of a science geek lol so that sounds like a fab subject, bet you can't wait to get started! :D I'm studying dietetics, just off into second year...

Oooh, what are your studying? I'm so nosey lol :p I did that last year, lots of soups and stews, I'll probably end up doing that again, I'm just rebelling lol and making life difficult for myself! I could never get my food hot enough to start with and was lukewarm at lunch. I just hate carrying...

This week is going to be interesting food wise to say the least! I'm out for a friend's birthday Wed night, its a 2 course set menu, the restaurant know I need gluten free dishes so I have no idea what I'll be eating, hopefully it'll be tasty! Obviously there will be alcohol of some description...

Today's food: banana poached eggs, 2 GF sausages, small sweet potato and courgette chicken casserole (chicken thighs, butternut squash, harlequin squash, carrot, onion, garlic, mushrooms, green beans and broccoli. Will put a touch of bone broth in too). May have a sprinkling of cheese on top...

Good luck! :) Marks daily apple is a good resource and his shopping list is a good starting point: Primal Blueprint Shopping List | Mark's Daily Apple Its so easy to keep the food interesting and tasty, there are so many recipes to paleo-ise favourite foods. I think that it does require a bit...

Had a hectic weekend, glad its over. Today's food: banana a dark chocolate chicken, roasted squash and spinach cauliflower 'risotto' with sweet potato Cauliflower risotto is all prepped and ready to cook, really looking forward to this, just wish caulis were cheaper! Think I'm slightly...

Absolutely bushed right now! I made it to pilates and took it v easy but definitely not up to much. I tried making a butternut squash soup this morning -note the word tried lol - apparently my butternut squash was a helluva lot smaller than the one in the recipe as its ridiculously thin! Tastes...

You should definitely watch supernatural, its fab! :D It's not always scary, a lot of episodes are funny, it doesn't take itself too seriously and anyways there are too super hot guys in it ;) I did have to stop watching at 8pm last night as I was home alone lol and sometimes I'm a bit of a...

Got some beef broth on, I hate how it always smells nasty when its just getting going, think it must be the apple cider vinegar heating up. Tomorrow I'm going to make some cauli chowder (I'm all outta broccoli lol) but still in soup mode so bring it! Also going to make some squash and sage soup...

Enjoyed my prawns! Did some roasted sweet potato and butternut squash too which was lovely. My dinner was so lovely and colourful :)

Change of plan with food today, I didn't get up early enough for breakfast. Lunch wull still be broc-cauli chowder with bacon but with a couple of lamb meatballs too. Dinner remains the same, flatmate is having fish n chips but there's no GF chip shop near for me. Don't know if I should be glad...

I have some smelly valerian tablets which take ages to get the smell off my hands lol haveade it an art to get them out of the blister packets without touching them! :o but the tea is in no way as bad as that, it definitely doesn't smell or taste like the tablets!

Thanks! Think I'll have to have a wander to the health food store :)

Food sounds great as usual! You always have some really interesting and yummy meals :) Think I might introduce some white rice at some point, mainly because I want coconut milk rice pudding :rolleyes: but white rice does seem fairly inoffensive.

Man, I'm full! Really enjoyed the liver, best combo in the world liver, onions and bacon! Mmmmmm!! but i won't have sweet potato with it again as made the meal far too rich and sweet. At the moment tomorrow's food plan is: eggs and kale Broc-cauli chowder with bacon King prawns with...

OooooO I'm going to look for the chocolate and the seaweed crisps next time!! I dont think my bank account would be too chuffed if I started shopping there though! I like the valerian tea I buy Dr. Stuarts or something cant remember exactly the name lol! I only chose valerian as I hate...

I was wondering which brands of tinned coconut milk/cream everyone uses? I'm trying to find the best to buy with the least rubbish in. I currently use Koko but want one with a shorter ingredients list! Sadly I don't have the time to make my own. Thank y' kindly folks xx

Just discovered I live within walking distance of a Waitrose!! :eek: exciting times people!! They stock the most amazing gluten free products, I had lots of fun drooling over things lol was a good paleo girl and didn't buy anything (I can't promise I won't be buying some GF scones for my...

Re: Diet issues... Of me, myself & I That's great :) Plum got there first but I was going to suggest white rice as an addition to keep you more on plan if you're finding going too low carb leads you to unpaleo carbs. Even having things like roasted carrots can help with the carb fix...

You're baaaaaccckkkkk! :D Oh my god I'm definitely cooking my sweet potato like that today!! Sounds amazing :D I never boil sweet potato normally cook it as a jacket and scoop out the middles, just seems wrong to boil for some strange unbeknown reason lol!

I use lambs liver, don't fancy pigs liver (don't know why lol). The soup was more of a puree than a soup, it might need thinning down today as soup always seems thicker the next day. I didn't measure the quantities out for the recipe basically threw a load of broccoli and cauliflower in a pan...

Food plan for today is: Brunch: GF sausages, eggs, kale and some broc-cauli chowder snack: banana, pork crackling Dinner: liver, bacon and onions with cauliflower and sweet potato mash

OMG my dinner was gorgeous! :D Chopped up the belly pork and pan fried it then topped the broc-cauli choose with it and all the juices mmmm! I'm absolutely freezing got hoodie on, a hot water bottle and snuggled under a blanket! Catching up on Britain's Next Top Model, wishing I'd bought some...

Thanks, I'll take a look at the link. Fingers crossed the remedies I'm trying will work, feed up of taking tablets lol I'm coeliac so can't have gluten at all ( have to read every label and lecture waiters when I eat out :p lol not fun!), I do take lactase enzyme tablets when I eat dairy as...

I can't resist cocktails, I was actually quite glad the Indian I went to last week was an alcohol free zone! You did well getting straight back to it today, don't beat yourself up about it :) Hope you enjoy your meal out tonight, steakhouse sounds good to me!

Re: Diet issues... Of me, myself & I Hope you're feeling better soon, you've just got to ride it out! Definitely drink lots of fluids. For a sweet carb fix a sweet potato with some butter, coconut oil and some cinnamon mixed is really yummy :) If tweaking and having oats is what it takes...

Done a food shop today, spent £15 don't think I did too bad budgeting! Treated myself to some licorice tea! I do need to buy some more beef bones when I get chance, want to get into the habit of making a bone broth each week. Used half the broth for my broc-cauli chowder and will use the rest...

Breakfast was leftover lamb with buttered mashed cauliflower and boiled eggs (odd combo but yummy! ) Not really had lunch, have eaten 2 bananas whilst I tidied up. Dinner will be broc-cauli chowder out of the Practical Paleo book, tastes fab! With belly pork if it defrosts, failing that I have...

Re: Diet issues... Of me, myself & I Today's breakfast sounds yummy! I know what you mean about starting the day off with sweet foods! Ive definitely found the best way is to start off with a protein and fat rich meal.

Ate too much fruit yesterday, realised its a major source of my heartburn so going to have to cut it out (definitely apples, oranges and watermelon :( ). I've recently stopped taking omeprazole as was getting a lot of side effects so trying more natural ways of relief. Today's food: poached...

Breakfast was yummy, ive run out of kale so need to try get more (slight kale addiction! ). Need to keep up with the bone broth so will be buying more beef bones at next shop. Rest of the day's food plan: apple chicken salad belly pork with cauliflower Hoping I'm well enough to venture out...

Fancy some good food today! Breakfast is egg drop soup (eggs, kale and broth) hope it turns out yummy!

Hope you're resting up! Sucks when you have to rest up for work and not fun things though! I'm having a few compulsory duvet days too :) xx

Re: Diet issues... Of me, myself & I I get this when I'm tired too, my body seems to think more food = more energy but I have ME so doesn't always work that way! Hope today's a better food day for you x

Yeah think so, I use my slow cooker so I don't have to think about it once its on! I used beef bones this time and threw in onion, garlic cloves, bay leaves and herbs and salt, covered it with water and 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar and left it for about 20 hours on low. Next time I'm going to...

Scrapped the solidified fat off the top of the broth, wasn't sure if I could uar it to cook with or not so binned it, will have to investigate! Getting the silicon muffin tray into the freezer was errrm interesting lol took skill I'll tell y! Decided the easiest way to incorporate the broth...

Sooooo fast day was a bit o' a bomb, decided that its not good to fast when my energy is low :sigh: its so easy to not have to think about food n all but will need to plan so I can eat well on such days. So today's food was basically things I could grab without effort. My mum came over and made...

Fast day for me today, planning on savoury mince with cauliflower mash for dinner

Think today is a duvet day! Going to do not a lot!! Having a fast day, food will most probably be some melon, then lamb savoury mince with cauliflower mash. Going to make the rest of the mince into meat balls for lunches. My bone broth ia starting to smell nice now lol

Thanks! I'm a notoriously slooooow loser lol! I have that book, will have a look at the recipes. I bought it as wanted to read their weight loss story, didn't realise it was a recipe book til it came lol :rolleyes:

Had a yummy paleo bounty bar :) been soooo good so far since making them and only having one a day! Going to make some mini ones when I get more chocolate. Hmmm think I may have some melon, whilst I watch British Bake Off.

Thats great that you got past your cravings, bet you're proud of yourself :D

Thrown some lamb ribs and onions in the oven for dinner and put my beef bones in the slow cooker to make a broth. Need to get back into the habit of bone broth sure it does me the world of good.

That sounds really nice, I love leftovers! :) Might buy a sweet potato and do that tomorrow

Eugh slept for a good few hours after yoga and just chilled. Watched 3 episodes of The Men Who Made Us Fat grrrrrr! Resisted throwing things at my laptop screen lol but seriously the food industries have a helluva lot to answer for. Food plan for tomorrow is.... eggs and kale for breakfast...

Just had a post yoga nap! Enjoyed the yoga think I need to rest up for the rest of the day now. So whole lotta of sleep methinks! Having a fast day so dinner will be a king prawn salad, looking forward to it. Think I may cry when I run out of prawns lol!

I'm fasting today, got the makings for a lovely king prawn salad for dinner later :)

Just wanted to say Hi! I'm relatively new to this too, I'm doing it alongside paleo :) Just had to look when I started IF lol been doing it for about 6 weeks but had a week and a bit off for holidays in the middle of that. Whens your first fast day going to be? Its great getting through that...

Was a good girl and had my meal cooked in EVOO :cool: the food was fab, will definitely go back. I had grilled tiger prawns to start and then had the Karahi lamb which was devine! I adore lamb curries, there's something amazing about slow cooked lamb, cant get enough of lamb! I split a pilau...

The bounty bars are amazing! Going to have to be good and ration them lol although its a fab way to get in a daily dose of coconut oil ;)

These paleo bounty bars are amazing!! :D So simple to make with only 3 ingredients (dark chocolate, coconut oil & dessicated coconut - I omitted the vanilla extract the original recipe calls for). They are super yummy, I'm having to hide them in the freezer out of sight :rolleyes: I made...

So it looks like we are off to Mumtaz tonight :D I'm excited! My dilemma is whether I should pay £1.50 extra so they cook with EVOO instead of sunflower oil, I know its better for me but really dont know what to do! Guess if its better for me its worth the £1.50! The food is all cooked fresh...

You've done well resisting so far! Can you not buy some super dark chocolate? I thought dark chocolate over 70% was allowed on paleo? Good luck with your shift, at least chocolate can't find you there lol! ;)

Welcome, you sound like you have a plan to ease you into this lifestyle. Every small change to a more real food way of eating is a fab step :) Good luck coming off the diet coke, its a step in the right direction, soon you'll wonder how you drank it at all! Any questions, just ask! Good...

I may have to bite the bullet and try this, heart is so full of nutrients and it sure would help with budgeting!

Have you eaten heart before? My flatmate eats it alllll the time lol I've not tried it yet though! I saw lambs heart in Morrisons today and would have bought it if was chopped up ready for me to cook but these were whole, they had pig hearts too but I just dont fancy trying pig heart for some...
