Broccoli and bacon soup is also very much awesome.

How long have you been eating paleo?

Awesome woot!

Voted good luck!

I am in a very similar position, I recently counted up my calories and realised I don't often have a decent deficit despite eating pretty strict paleo.... Turns out my love of fatty meats and almonds needs to be curbed a bit Try putting your meals into a calorie counter like my fitness pal,or calorie king for a week or so and check out how many calories you are consuming would be my only advice. It could be too much or too few... It's hard to tell from your list as I don't know serving sizes, but snacking on nuts and using too much coconut oil/butter could be pushing your numbers up a lot.

We do this too. We have a 3 year old who will eat just about anything, and a super picky 7 year old. I won't send him to bed hungry because he doesn't like his dinner, so his alternative is a large bag of steam fresh veges, which he often chooses. No fights, and no big hassle to give him another healthy (if not somewhat boring) choice.

Eeewwww!

Erm, I hope you didn't mean my post. Cause I just reread it and realised it could be misunderstood. I meant it was stupid to be offended, not that your post was stupid. Just so we're clear. In a nutshell, I was saying that my first reaction was to be offended, but when putting more thought into it, I agreed with you

Ah, but have you been having sugar? On a regular 'healthy eating kick', a donut would still taste mighty good to me too. After only 4 weeks of paleo (no sugar at all other than one piece of fruit a day) it would taste pretty gross I reckon. The coke did!

Love Well Fed here too. And Paleo Family something or other.... I have it bookmarked so can't recall the correct name.

I was initially mildly offended at Corey's post. Which intellectually was stupid, but honestly, the idea that the intelligent people aren't having kids when you have 3... Well, yk But on further thinking it through, I fear you may be right. I don't know many people who don't want kids, but those that don't are generally quite intelligent. You just don't see erm, bogan types choosing not to have kids, right? That said, I don't fear for the future of humanity. The large majority of people, regardless of intelligence still want/have children, so we should be ok

My mistake

Try one tat punk, it will probably taste like shit. I had a McDonald's coke the other weekend, I took a swig and almost choked. I figured their machine was playing up and it had too much syrup in it. My other half had to taste it and convince me that it was just regular post mix. It was disgusting.

Cheers for that. The almond paste I have (from a health food shop) lists the ingredients as 100% almonds, but perhaps the consistency is different? Its very gritty? Will look into it some more
