[Lionbird 25]

Hey. Any bandsters doing paleo? I sure would like to find some nutritionally like minded folks to link up with.

Me me. I do Paleo most of the time. I am 80/20. I believe this is why I am having great results!!

I was banded Dec 4th you?

Do you do crossfit also?

I have eaten paleo for stretches of time. I LOVE it and feel my best when I eat Paleo. It's just a hard transition but so worth it to be free of processed foods. I feel bad because I get sucked back in to processed stuff when I'm in a hurry and have to feed the kids.

IP-LB...do you do Cross Fit?? That is on my list of things to try after I lose a bit of weight.

[**IP~LB** 279]

Yes I crossfit and I love it!!!!! Definitely do it!!

Omg. I'm so excited to find you guys!!! I'm only on day 5 but my whole family is paleo.. Kids included. Hubby does crossfit I plan to start in a few months. Going to bed but you guys just made my day!!

I'm trying to do Paleo. I don't think I'm quite 80/20 but I'm getting there. What I have done has allowed me to stop diabetes medication. I'm thrilled with that. I don't do CrossFit. I've taken up riding my bike and I do yoga once a week. Last week, I rode just over a hundred miles. I'm pretty proud of myself. When it warms up I'm going to try standup paddle boarding.

Have you read Practical Paleo it's a really good book?

Best wishes,

Yeah Bibi, I am in south florida!

Yes I have read all the paleo books and I have all the cookbooks.

Eating Paleo makes me feel so good. That is how I lost my initial 40 pounds before LB surgery.

Glad we made your day Lion!!

I have a ton of recipes if you need !!

I forgot to post these links...my favorite Paleo recipe sites. Http://www.nomnompaleo.com and http://www.thefoodeeproject.com . Some of the Paleo sites are very technical, and overwhelming. Everyday paleo has a lot of family friendly recipes.

I make the Paleo Banana/Apple muffins ALL THE TIME. In fact I made them last weekend with walnuts, so good!

I'm interested and it looks like you can low-carb it, so it would fit well within my range per my NUT.

Hey I'm in Florida too! woot woot. Paleo makes so much sense and has changed the life of my husband kids and I. It feels so good to eat that way. I of course was not a strict Paleo or I wouldn't have needed to get the lapband. We have ALLLL the books, I have listed to a lot of podcasts and read several blogs. The pre op diet with these stupid chemical shakes has been killing me. And so many on here talk about eating so much bad food...its really remarkable. Let's talk about BACON!! ha. It freaks people out so badly. Oh wait, let me show you this funny
