In the last three months, I have learned from many here. My quality of life has improved greatly. I have lost 20 pounds with out trying. My blood sugar has leveled out. I am off of medications. My hives are gone. I have not used my inhaler once. My chronic headaches are diminishing. There's been nothing but good here. Everyone here leaves an opinion or an experience that others may comment on. I take what I need and since I am my own guinea pig, I see what works. If something works for me, I comment hoping that my experience may help another. I am grateful to you all. Thanks

What paleo hacks does for me is not so much about the information, although that is valuable, it is about community.

It makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one who worries too much sometimes and cheats sometimes and doesn't eat only grass fed and isn't a cross fitter.

Paleohacks gives me nuance and perspective and a feeling that there is a place in paleo for me even though I am overweight and not athletic and not like the icons who I want to lean from.

It assures me that this is something people can do who are not crazy committed, who just want to feel better and who are not willing to completely change everything about their life.

And it makes me feel like I have company in the not quite perfect club.

Yes.. This post makes me very proud of my PH peeps..

Aside from the people on here that always make it lively and interesting, I love it as a resource for pretty much anything I'm curious about. If there isn't any old threads about it we can always ask and get some really awesome answers.

The wealth of information in old threads is just staggering, including links to so many great blogs and studies!

Like PaleoPlay and others have said here, I appreciate paleohackers for what I learn from you all every day. But for me, the bigger benefit is probably knowing that other people have done the research or tried this, and agree that eating meat and saturated fat can be the right thing to do for optimal health.

Basically, paleohackers help make up for the constant "You're eating THAT?" and show me that no, I'm not a looney tune all alone out here.

Not really. :-)

Not me but Paleohacks in me.
