Not more than a week without sugar.</p> <p><em><strong>Anyway</em>..., I'm gonna have to go ahead and ask you if you've got an extra kick in the pants to give me to add to all of those that I'm giving my self.</strong> </p> <p>If you have any interest in whether I make it or not, you can see my <a href="http://edgeofawood.com/paleo/100-paleo-for-100-days-starts-tomorrow/" rel="nofollow">pre-100 paleo Valentine's Day post</a> and bookmark my blog.

You’ve been trying to get off dairy for decades.

My husband has been pretty successful treating his sinuses (I'd say he's at about 90% effective, which is pretty amazing for him) by staying away from gluten and dairy. You can totally do this--you'll be "done" right before Memorial Day and you'll feel and look incredible for the summer. And honestly, you probably won't want to go back.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/97731/yeah-im-gonna-go-ahead-and-go-100-paleo-for-100-days-could-i-get-your-very-be/97745#97745 Answer by sage_ for Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and go 100% paleo for 100 days.

If you're low carb the first week will suck -- but <em>it will pass</em> and it's SO WORTH IT. Wait'll you feel how good it feels to live inside a healthy human body.

Could I get your very best motivational/stick to it advice?? Karin 2012-02-15T01:20:36Z 2012-02-15T01:20:36Z <p>My biggest advice to you is simply this- be kind to yourself during this time. If for some reason you slip up and eat something not in your plan don't freak out about it, move forward and understand its the small steps in the right direction that have the biggest impact. You're going to be great! And keep it simple. Even with all my culinary expertise (yeah...I've got some!) it's easy to get overwhelmed by the ridiculous amounts of recipes, and techniques and suggestions and do it this way that way my way....feel confident in YOUR way and in what makes YOU feel good...(within the paleo/primal realm, and it's a HUGE realm.) there is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL way of doing things and anyone who says otherwise may perhaps not be the best to include in what you're doing. Best of luck! </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/97731/yeah-im-gonna-go-ahead-and-go-100-paleo-for-100-days-could-i-get-your-very-be/97750#97750 Answer by George Brodie for Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and go 100% paleo for 100 days.

Could I get your very best motivational/stick to it advice?? jj 2012-02-15T03:55:12Z 2012-02-15T03:55:12Z <p>Buy two good paleo cookbooks (Well Fed &amp; Everyday Paleo would be my picks, Paleo Comfort Food might be another good one) and bookmark chowstalker.com. Go through them before you start and plan out your first couple weeks of eats... 2 or 3 things you can eat for breakfast (egg muffins are popular), 2 or 3 things you can eat for lunch and a nice entree for dinner each night. Scope out paleo things to eat at some of your favorite restaurants. It's easier if you're not trying to figure it out on the fly and you have some appealing meals to look forward to.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/97731/yeah-im-gonna-go-ahead-and-go-100-paleo-for-100-days-could-i-get-your-very-be/97901#97901 Answer by Talldog for Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and go 100% paleo for 100 days.

Of course, to make it a paleo certificate, it would probably need to be painted on a rock. :)</p> <p>If you make it through 100 days, we'll make you a paleo certificate of achievement.
