pwallace Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Alright so Question for my fellow man (or men as it is) how many of you have gone 100% paleo before? If so have you ever struggled with getting enough fiber in your diet? How did you go more? I am having some issues on the back end due to not enough fiber and just wondering how to remedy this problemA normal day for food looks likeBreakfast ~ 3-4 eggs with a hand ful of sauteed spinachLunch~ A handful of spinach with orange peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and salasa for the dressingafternoon snack~ cucumbers celery and carrotsDinner~Something Paleo usually involving spinach We eat ALOT of spinach...correction I eat alot of spinach.I also drink about 144oz of water a day.

You can fix that by eating more blueberries. One cup of blueberries contains an average of 3.6 grams of fiber so try it, it might help www.MuscleAndFitnessTips.org Link to comment
pwallace Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I do live in the blueberry state so thats not a bad idea, wish they weren't so expensive right now. the wife gets upset because one family size bag of spinach I can go through in 1 day. will have to check out some other sources aswell Thanks Level 0 Human, Monk 82%82% Lose 75 lbsStartin Fresh"Nothing is ever easy."

One cup of raw spinach has 3.5 - 4 grams of fiber in it, and you're eating what looks to be a lot, but the only fats I see are the eggs. I can't find the article now, but there was one that I read about fat, digestion and well... bathroom visits. And it suggested that fats are used by your body as a sort of lube to help everything move along. It seemed to work for me when I was 100% paleo... 1 "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for the welcome. I chose the name more because it rhymed. Also, I thought VanTheSlightlyEffeminateCriesDuringASPCACommercialsAndDoesn'tGetSportsReferencesMan was a little excessive. There are races to the remote in my house to see who can change the channel first when those come on. Alright so Question for my fellow man (or men as it is) how many of you have gone 100% paleo before? If so have you ever struggled with getting enough fiber in your diet? How did you go more? I am having some issues on the back end due to not enough fiber and just wondering how to remedy this problemA normal day for food looks likeBreakfast ~ 3-4 eggs with a hand ful of sauteed spinachLunch~ A handful of spinach with orange peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and salasa for the dressingafternoon snack~ cucumbers celery and carrotsDinner~Something Paleo usually involving spinach We eat ALOT of spinach...correction I eat alot of spinach.I also drink about 144oz of water a day. Leafy greens. Broccoli and celery are pretty fibrous as well, broccoli is a go to for me, used to have it at lunch every day. Coffee is a staple as well. Like the others said though, fats are the other key. The biggest enemy is too much protein without fats and fiber. I'm the worst when I'm on a low cal diet and don't have the room for fats, but am still trying to hit 200g protein a day. well at the least it'd be the last time he ruins the franchise by killing a beloved character... It's ruined? No one told me that, I'm still loving it, though Dance was a bit slower than I'd like. There are two characters that he could kill that might ruin it for me, but the rest can bite it for all I care.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Killing Ned was hugely important for two reasons. First, is sets the dark tone for the series. It tells you that no one is safe and if you're going to play The Game of Thrones, you need to be dark, dirty, conniving, and willing to do whatever it takes to win, or you'll lose. You can't be crippled by something as simple as morality if you want to survive. The second thing is that murder set up the beginning conflict for almost every storyline that takes place in the series. Can't have the war in the north, can't have Danaerys having attempts on her life, can't have any of the Sansa or Arya storylines, etc. Edit: Spoiler for who my two are below, don't open if you don't want to know of two people who make it to the end of A Dance with Dragons alive:Arya and Tyrion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.
