Crystal 2010-10-19T10:25:50Z 2011-05-06T04:22:40Z <p>Hi, my partner and I have recently started eating paleo...we are almost up to 3wks!</p> <p>One thing we have both noticed is that we don't feel the need to drink as much water as we used to. We used to both regularly drink around 2 litres a day.</p> <p>We have been tossing around possible reasons why...maybe eating more veges with a higher water content? Or, possibly less glucose dumping in urine so more water re-absorption in kidney tubules? </p> <p>I am curious if anyone else experienced this or has any thoughts on why this might be the case?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/22039/cacao-nibs-what-should-i-do-with-them/22052#22052 Answer by Crystal for Cacao nibs: What should I do with them?

Crystal 2011-01-26T11:08:27Z 2011-01-26T11:08:27Z <p>I have a doctor who recommended a grain free diet to me when I had bad acne and his rationale for cutting out grains was exactly along paleo lines. </p> <p>He was totally on board with regards to leveling out insulin levels for preventing many diseases and he told me that anyone or any culture that is grain-free tends to live longer.</p> <p>His recommendation along with a 30-day cross-fit challenge had me started on paleo about 4mths ago.</p> <p>I have seen my doctor since and he was really interested in paleo (not knowing much about it as his dietary wisdom has come through other means) and he took down the details for Loren Cordain and Robb Wolf's books so he could follow them up...but essentially he thought that the nutritionists and Australian dietary guidelines were way off on recommendations of a high carb/low fat diet </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/7912/simple-tasty-combos-that-are-paleo/14249#14249 Answer by Crystal for Simple Tasty Combos that are Paleo Crystal 2010-11-15T09:42:21Z 2010-11-15T09:42:21Z <p>pesto and chicken</p> <p>guacamole and chicken spiced with cumin and coriander</p> <p>banana, raspberry and blueberry "pancakes" (cinnamon and eggs)</p> <p>bacon, pumpkin and pinenut salad</p> <p>broccoli drizzled with lemon olive oil</p> <p>macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and shredded coconut</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/11842/are-raw-eggs-worth-eating/11885#11885 Answer by Crystal for Are Raw eggs worth eating?
