Karen,

Your comment was in moderation and I’ve released it as of now. Sometimes with long posts, specific content and words, or links, the software will automatically moderate comments until I approve them. I usually check the filter at least once a day so if it doesn’t come up just wait or feel free to send me an email.

As for the Paleo ideas and sharing between challenge members, that’s exactly what the Paleo Challenge Food Logs post is for. Once people pay the buy-in they get a password to the post. Everyone in the challenge will log their weekly eating and that means you’ll get TONS of great ideas and you can also post and share other recipes and ideas if you’d like.

Chad-posted a comment this morning that’s still not showing-is it possibly that’s it’s still in moderation?
Otherwise, I’ll redo it-just some tips re. Kelly’s comments on paleo meals.
Thanks!

Kelly,
good paleo snack meals or meals away from home:
First, invest in tupperware-lots of it!
Leftovers are always fantastic-get in the habit of making extra for dinner which you can use for lunch the next day. Maybe even keep a cooler in your car for anything that’s perishable, like meats.

Chicken, jerky, smokies are great (we get bison from a Meteor Lakes in Morinville-let me know if you want the contact information-they’ll deliver to St. Albert). Avoid deli meats, as they contain either gluten or icing sugar.
Any fruit-apples, bananas, mandarins, grapes-we eat mostly these right now
Veges-lots of raw choices-carrots, peppers, cucumbers, celery. You could also pack a salad with chicken, turkey or beef and just bring along dressing separately-Chad has a great dressing he makes that’s paleo friendly.
And for fat….nuts-pecans, mac nuts, walnuts, almonds-you can get some good mixed nuts at Savon, but quite a bit of salt in them, so we normally mix them with unsalted nuts to make our own mix

For me, the key to paleo has been variety-try lots of things you haven’t before. Invest in the e-paleo cookbook-we’ve put it on our website (www.synergychiropractors.com) for our patients for easy access-it’s about $50 for 2 whole cookbooks + 5 bonus books you can just download and view on your computer. We’ve printed them up and put them in a binder, and LOVE everything we’ve tried so far.
Hope that helps, Kelly!
Hey Chad-maybe we could have a posting board for everyone doing the paleo challenge to share idea and tips?

Does anyone have some specific paleo “snack meal” ideas that can be grabbed and taken with? 75% of the time I am having to take meals on the road and can’t really heat up stuff.Thanks.

I’m like you Yvonne- I dont like to show much of my body either…to be in a bra /tank…well first of all i dont have one, bikini or anything… IT so would make me embarrased especially if the pix were on display..ahhh! scars, surgeries, what a mess! What i do know is- that nobody except ourselves really cares…

The good things in this challange is that it will really give great team support and a true visual to before and after…we often feel the changes and see some changes…but before and after photo i think would be great!

Paleo for me is to keep me feeling well…from Sept to early December I felt great…
I did however lose about 5 lbs … I tried Paleo as a measure of greater wellness….and boy i was shocked each week, and then each month to how good i felt…including not one cold/illness. Back on track again now after the busy holiday season…and hoping I get to feel that way again very soon!

I was just thinking that some people… a friend…. might be a little self conscious with having others see these pics. I never really thought about those that want to gain mass. Most people in these challenges want to lose excess mass. I don’t know maybe it’s a girl thing.
I’ll do it, but that just means I better win some money.
Paul, please…. that would just be another appendage for you to injure while swinging a kettle bell.

Measurements won’t work for me…my goal is get some size not lean down but I won’t argue if that is what’s decided.
And thanks for asking Paul but I found you some “Hero tabs” for you..whoops, I mean your “friend”.
