<p>I am new to crossfit and have heard about theese shoes. I am considering buying a pair as I need some new shoes. Have you tried them? Liked them? Differences in the Nano and the 2.0?</p>

<p>Okay I love water but what other nonalcoholic drinks are okay to do? I know I can spruce water up but sometimes I want a little something different. Would home made iced green tea lightly sweetened with honey or unsweetned even be okay? Any other suggestions would be great.</p>

<p>Okay I am a 32 year old female who is trying IF with bulletproof coffee. I have done it in the morning twice and love it so no problems there. My questions are:</p> <p>How often is this done? Daily? Every other? As much as one wants?</p> <p>On the website they say don't eat after 8pm. My workouts last till then so I usually have dinner by 9pm at the latest. Is this okay? </p>

<p>Hey weird thing I noticed and was wondering if anyone else saw the same thing? I suffer from anxiety, nothing too bad but mainly pertaining to driving in high places ie down the sides of mountains. Sucks cause I like to hike and live in Seattle. The other day I was driving somewhere unkown and ended up driving down the side of a nice steep baby mountain. I did not experience my normal fear, panick feeling that usually has me trying to find the nearest place to pullover. Only change I've made recently is Paleo and I am wondering if anyone else who suffers from anxiety has seen it improve/go away? </p>

<p>Plantain chips, canned tuna/sardines, summer sausages, homemade paleo trail mix, kale chips, date rolls (buy or whole foods has), dark chocolate, also you can dehydrate tons of stuff if you have one of those my friend makes her own meals for backpacking he makes the meal then just dehydrates and then adds hot water....I'm sure you can google specifics. Oh dried fruits are yummy too and nut butters! </p>

<p>Has anyone read that the FDA has approved the first GMO animal? They have okay a GMO super salmon to be farmed. I work in the fish oil industry (wild) and this is scary to me beyond the implications on diet it's a slippery slope in the GMO world and now meats are in play.

<p>If you're going to buy a pressure cooker just for that I would go with a slower cooker. I made my first batch last week in my slow cooker and I'm addicted. I think ill throw a weekly batch in on Friday nights. </p> <p>I want a pressure cooker and its great but I'm trying to save money right now so slower cooker it is. </p>

<p>I am 226lb and I'm doing super 8 on my off days from crossfit as I can fit it in as its the best cardio I've read about. So far down 15lbs in about 3 weeks. I highly recommend super 8 I downloaded an interval app called seconds pro that lets me create the intervals as timers and then I use that each cardio workout. It's amazing!! </p>

<p>Ever thought about making bulleproof tea? I love coffee and I usually "prepalo" drank it full of sugar and cream...its the only way I like it. Needless to say I was bummed when I went paleo because no more starbucks haha best thing I ever did. I have found 3tbs of grassfed butter in my coffee blended makes it creamy and slightly sweet. It is addictive try it yes I know it sounds gross. Those who don't drink coffee do this with tea. </p>

<p>Emeril makes a low fat gumbo that's roux is just flour cooked in oven at 450 30 min till dark nut brown I used to make it all the time before going paleo and works well so just substitute a paleo approved flour </p>

<p>So I am not a big fish person. Really don't like much seafood except for shellfish. Any suggestion on ways to cook it or types to try that are good for non fish eaters. Currently having tilapia. </p> <p>Also if I supplement my omegas is it a big deal to be mainly red meat based? </p>

<p>I realize there is no optimal spot but some places are easier in finding Paleo friendly options. I live in Seattle and it has been nice having so many places that are familiar with Paleo. There are local farmers markets in every neighborhood that run year round. So many farms are grass fed here and you can get raw dairy items in the local stores. Really makes living Paleo easier. </p>

<p>Last night I didn't make it home and I had to leave from where I was at and go straight to work. Since starting Paleo a few weeks ago I have cooked meals at home but I was in a bind this morning. I need breakfast and lunch help! I was able to stop at the store and bought some nitrate free chicken sausages and hard boiled eggs for breakfast. Luckily there is a good salad bar near by for lunch but it made me think what do you use as those omg I need a meal quick fixes when you don't have food with you? </p>

<p>Agree remove the cheats, corn, and try to cut down the berries and fruits. I am a little over two weeks in and I only drink water and have had no issues with cravings. Not everyone is the same but when I eat fruit even berries I am hungrier. If I eat protein/veggies/fats I am full and energetic. </p>

<p>Hi, New to Paleo and I have a question about cooking oils. I am wondering when I make a meat with oils in it I ususlly just cook the other stuff in the meat fat. Egg scrable in the bacon or sasuage fat ect. If I cook something like chicken breast I use coconut oil as it needs extra oil. </p> <p>Should I be adding additional oil in the case of my eggs ect or is the meat fat sufficent? </p>

<p>I am 32 and started doing crossfit at around 240lb no diet change. I ended up stopping due to a nonrelated injurgy but I loved it. I am now a fews weeks into being Paleo and workout 5-6x week, 2-3x strength with alternating cardio. I am currently doing the bodypump classes at my gym. I enjoy these but I know in about a month I will want to restart crossfit. I am waiting not because of my weight but because I want to be consistently working out before starting back. </p> <p>My suggestion from another bigger person and not an athlete:</p> <ol> <li><p>Visit a few crossfit gyms. There were two in my area I emailed both with my questions, lots of questions. I was worried about being the "fat" person there. After asking questions I set up in person meets with both places. One was nice but it was very much like a nightmare in that they didn't get many real people in just people already very fit. The other was great the owners mom was there getting her workout in. I will tell you at first I was so slow but everyone encouraged me (the athletes, the moms, the 15 year old kids). </p></li> <li><p>Do an onramp or essentials class. I believe most crossfit gyms require this. </p></li> <li><p>Don't fool yourself into thinking you can't do it. Take some time before/after each workout to ask questions if you have them. I would lookup things like thrusters online so I could watch videos. Even with the class it takes time to learn proper form so ask a lot of questions. </p></li> <li><p>Listen to your body. Push yourself but don't pass out doing it. I am horrible at cardio so the runs for me were slow slow slow jogs to start. </p></li> <li><p>Have fun :) crossfit rocks </p></li> </ol>

<p>I am working on loosing weight and this has been what has worked for me. </p> <p>If I eat fruits or nuts I limit it to one serving a day and preferably melons/berries. </p> <p>I measure out my nuts to make sure I am not eating too many. </p> <p>If I decrease my normal workout for any reason I cut the above and just stick to protein/carb/fat based meals. </p> <p>So far 10lbs down in a couple weeks. Experiment a little and see what works for you. </p>

<p>Hi. I am just starting on my Paleo journey (one week) and seeing great results. Besides loosing 7lbs, my insomnia is gone as are my food cravings. I have enegry again and wake up ready to tackle the day. Those things alone make me feel like how did I ever not live life like this. </p> <p>My question is I am going overseas to South Africa for six months next year to volunteer. Has anyone experienced spending a long amount of time in another country and if so how did you deal with eating Paleo there? I will have my own place and car so can shop for myself. I don't think finding locally sourced veggies will be an issue but I wonder about grass feed beef vs corn feed. I guess I need to do a little internet research but I thought I would start here. </p> <p>Thanks! </p> <p>I will be in Capetown so not rural at all. </p>

<p>Thanks everyone especially LikesLarinMayo congrats on your loss I have lost about the same but still need 50 more to go to be comfortably happy. </p> <p>I haven't gone out shopping yet so I will not get fruits and try for at least a couple weeks without them once I finish the two small melons I have at home. I don't really have a sweet tooth I have a carb tooth so it's the bread and pasta that are the big issue but totally doable. That said sometimes my body just really wants fruit I don't know why but I will go through a kick and it would be nice to indulge. That said I am fine with limiting myself for awhile if that's the way to get the best results. </p>

Thanks everyone I would love to hear from more people. Seems like fat and increased red meats might be a big factor. I was also diagnosed with PTSD and am doing great now with that. Still some issues here and there but man I didn't realize diet could change mental health issues.

Besides increasing fats that the hugest change in my diet. I eat a lot of red meat now. I got a grassfed meat delivery from local farm. I eat grassfeed beef 4-5 a week at a minimum. I used to be mainly chicken, fish sort of person.

Wild salmon is very good for you and is only of the only fish I actually enjoy. It's not about being a health food it's about the fact that Paleo promotes healthy grass feed pastured meats and wild caught seafood and this is not only farming but genetically enhancing as well. Perhaps when they start genetically enhancing kids it will matter to you.

They are high in carbs and will limit your weight loss unless you are doing intense workouts. Personally I will loose with about a half a day a couple times a week but I also workout hard. Ideally you should get your carbs from veggies

Thanks Vossman. I am waiting on my MCT oil in the mail and currently using coconut oil. My hunger doesn't start till 2 ish so I eat about 3pm. Question what about working out without a meal before? I workout at 7 and am sure a couple times a week I'd like to go without till after. I will do the butter or mct oil but would I be okay to not eat any carbs/protein before working out. They are pretty intense crossfit style workouts.

I am not a morning person and workout at night but it actually leads to less sleep for me as it boosts my energy. Also I think working out while fasting for a few hours will do the same as working out first thing in the morning.

Yeah I am a girl who is 115 pounds lighter and I am eating more than you. Also less fruit or if you must berries and melons. I don't eat fruit except if I am having a sugar craving which has been rare. If I am hungry I eat meats or veggies or hard boiled eggs.
