So, lets face the facts. I am grossly overweight, 35, and need to make some major changes. I was with a client today. She is older than I, she is larger than I, and we were discussing her starting the Paleo 28 something or other. Something I know I had absolutely no desire to try, but it got me thin...

Dear Liz Thank you for sharing all that information and glad that you found it useful to do so. One benefit of forums like these is that we each are relatively anonymous, which can make it easier to say things about ourselves that we may not do in person. It's sounds like you have done some pretty s...

Yes that will be hard for me to to work 10 to 12 hour days and be able to fast completely. some people manage to do it but I find that I cannot do the 500 calories, I will just keep right on eating so on fast days it's easier for me to just not put anything in my mouth except water and maybe a cup o...

Welcome back! Yeah, I can't imagine sticking to Paleo. While it is smart to switch to simply lower carb eating and less processed food, there's a lot of fluff about Paleo that I find rather silly. I've returned as well. I had a lot of success at first with 5:2 but then the weight loss slowed to a c...

I have a family dinner tomorrow at http://www.bamboo-garden.co/ . It's a kosher, vegetarian (almost vegan*) Chinese restaurant. There is probably nothing on their menu that meets my Paleo WOE. But it's a super fun place to eat, the food is great and the guest of honor is a vegetarian, so woe is me. ...

I feel for you cblasz , truly I do. Let me preface my suggestion by saying I KNOW NOTHING, AND I only wish I had your self-discipline. You are working the program very strictly, maybe if you loosened the reins a bit for a short period, see what happens. Try a spa day some weekend and maybe no calori...
