Hello

Hello everyone,

I started my Paleo Journey a few weeks ago when, despite eating a vegetarian diet high in "good carbs" like quinoa and sweet potatoes, my weight got up to 170 pounds. I was constantly tired yet I had insomnia.

I came across the book, Primal Body, Primal Mind by Nora Gedgaudas, which was right next to the books on the Paleo Diet at Barnes and Noble. I read it in about four hours and my life was changed.

I dropped 5 pounds my first week.

Glad to be here!

hello Pink, welcome.  I've seen two of Nora's lectures.  She seems spot on, and quite bright.  Keep us updated with how your progress or changes develop.

Hi,
Glad to be here too!  Thirteen years ago I was on Atkins and weighed 113 lbs which was only 3 lbs away for my weight on my wedding day.  This was after having two children.  I went off the diet, because my 3 year old son didn't know what a potato was when I began reintroducing tubers at the dinner table.  Well, I've gradually packed it on to 150!  Yikes !  That is only 10 lbs away from where I was being 9 months pregnant with a 9 lb baby!!!!!!!  Ah!  So I started the Dr. Mercola diet 9 days ago and I've lost 4 lbs.  Did I mention that I've been on a low fat diet all summer, was miserable, and didn't lose anything!!!!!!!!!  Thanks Dr. Mercola for bringing me to my senses.
