Hi all...Maybe you could start a whole30 thread dotcom???
I'm on day 12, feel good, bit sluggish today, but i've had a long week! Its been pretty easy to be honest, plenty of planning and cooking and millions of jars and containers taking up space everywhere

well done on day 12! I would guess that anyone doing a w30 would use the whole9 forum...are you on it? It's really very good.0 -

I'm not going, I would if I was in Dublin and I could get in for free.
Just looking at the exhibitors, Vita Coco will be there.
But my god I really hate Patrick Holford, I can't even stand his face anymore. The worst thing is the guy that owns the health shop in the town thinks he's the best guy ever.0 -

Would you recommend slow cookers dcd? They seem to be used a fair bit in the paleo world but I've never used one myself. Considering buying one.0 -

I was out looking at clothes in the January sales today and spotted some health food places with stuff that Paleo/Primal folks might be interested in.
In the Georges Street Arcade, the Nutri shop (http://www.dublinnutricentre.com/) has:
- 1Kg of Chia seeds for around €18.75 which is the cheapest I think I've seen it around Dublin.
- Sunwheel Pear & Apricot Fruit Spread and Pear & Apple Fruit Spread for €2.45 each which is cheaper than the €3.29 listed here: http://www.hollandandbarrett.ie/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=2794&prodid=3506
- They also have Seaweeds but I've not extended my diet to include Seaweeds so I don't know if they have good prices or brands
- they also have coconut oil
In Blazing Salads on Drury Street, they have a bunch of Wheat Free, Diary Free, Vegan stuff. Some of this might not be compatible with Paleo/Primal (especially need to avoid agave syrup and beans which they use) but I'm pretty sure their Oven Roasted Vegetable Salad is
Nourish Health & Beauty Store on Liffey Street sell
- this Creamed Sesame product (careful now, sounds dangerously fattening): http://thehappypear.ie/shop/product.php?id_product=249
- they also have almond butter and coconut oil
There are a few Asian Supermarkets around the city (one on Mary St at the end of Henry St for example) and they sell Almonds in bags of 800G or 1Kg for much cheaper than Tesco seem to sell them. Lidl sell them in smaller bags and I haven't compared like for like with them yet.0 -

So, has it been worth it? Anything you miss/would do differently?
Are you still Paleo? and any other questions that you think we might be interested in.
Definitely been worth it, it feels good to eat this way.
Yes definitely still paleo on a day to day basis, had a couple of cheats/treats over the Xmas period but I'm good at sticking to it in general.
As to what I miss? Eating out with ease...but tbh I don't often eat out anyway...I am about to embark on my 5th Whole30 on Monday and then I will miss my red wine!0 -
-
Good for you! I have never managed a whole30 yet - keep falling off that blasted wagon and it is always the wine that gets me:o I might make it this time, just a Galaxy left in the house and some sausages - then I can try once more!
Yeah it's the weekennd wine I miss most of all while I'm on it for sure.
Start next Monday with me! I'll hold your hand

Ok! I have two children's birthday cakes to do in the next month which will be hard, but I will give it a go.
Interestingly on the alcohol thing - since I have been on the whole paleo/primal (though off it a lot
), I have never gone back to that 'ten slices of toast, a pizza and 48 packets of digestives hangover cure' that I used to do after drinking - it doesn't seem to affect me in the same way any more. Probably partly just habit but I don't seem to have those terrible carb cravings after booze that I used to.
Yay - exciting! And there was a Chicken, celery and ginger broth in the Sunday Times magazine last weekend that I really want to try, so maybe that'll be next week's big treat.
Let me know if you want the recipe - there was fish sauce in it but I am guessing i can replace it with a bit of ground anchovy or something.0 -
By give it a go, I take it you mean you will DO IT! If you go in giving yourself the option of quitting you're making it too easy to do so.
Recipe sounds good, when you get the chance to post. I have some nice homemade chicken stock in the freezer I could use...and I have a stash of sugar free fish sauce too 0 -

Ok, I WILL DO IT. 0 -

Hey, I'm kinda a bit paleo (going 99% paleo next week) and just have a few questions.
I never really know what to eat. I love vegetables (with a few exceptions i.e. peas) but I hate eating things like salads because I'm never satisfied afterwards. When I tried full paleo the last time my lunch was just a few slices of meat and a few nuts. Every night my dinner was stir fried chicken and broccoli. Breakfast was an omelette which I'm not particularly mad on, but I'll try some more recipes at find something I like.
So I'm putting my previous failures down to meals being to bland, and not enough fat. Breakfast and dinner are never problems because I'll always be at home to cook. But for lunch I'll be in college and have no cooking stuff or microwave so I need something portable. That leaves me with two options; salad (no thanks...) or a smoothie I could put in my sports bottle thing. Probably something like coconut milk, protein powder, kale and spinach. Fat + Protein + lots of nutrients = good stuff. A bit of fruit or a few nuts as a snack. I'm pretty active as well but could do with losing a bit of weight (M, 5'11, 196lbs) so I'd be trying to keep kcal around 1800.
Any other ideas for a cold lunch that is portable? Or any advice in general.
#PS. I have a feeling if I did it properly paleo would be very beneficial to me. Carbs never satisfy me and I'm hungry every two hours.0 -

So a hot lunch is out - unless you can bring a thermos ? of stew, chilli something like that?
Personally I wouldn't go with a smoothie, for me paleo is about getting back to real, unprocessed foods, and protein powder certainly isn't natural
When you say you hate salad is it the lettuce you hate so much? But you can have salad without it being based on a huge bed of lettuce
I love this meal planning template and you could implement it with all cold ingredients
http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf
So a lunch box filled with e.g hard boiled eggs, homemade mayo, prosciutto ham, avocado with lemon juice, olives, cheery tomatoes, carrot sticks, cucumber batons, etc etc you get the idea. Protein + veg + fat = balanced meal.

To me this just sounds so grim
There is no need to eat like this when doing paleo, there are so many gorgeous recipes/ideas out there - lots of ideas here and it's not even that healthy (which is your primary aim) because you're not getting a full variety of nutrients. 0 -

Thanks for this! Actually yeah lettuce is my problem with salads. It's so boring.
Some of those recipies look great! I probably will stick with the green smoothie with whey protein to have after a workout though, I'm pretty active and probably not getting enough protein, and as we all know chicken can be expensive, especially for a student! 0 -
