New from Up North!
« on: September 04, 2010, 04:42:27 PM »
Hi,

Just found this place!

We switched to a paleo diet months ago because we have one child who can not eat grains or sugar, one who can not eat dairy, and one who can not eat food additives or beans..... our doc told us to try a caveman diet and it worked wonders! Not only for the kids but myself also....have lost 50 pounds! :-P

I love to cook and take photos of my foods! So I'm off to check out the recipes and meal photos board!

Hi Mary!

Your life sounds similar to mine!  Both daughters have allergies to dairy, soy, and corn.  One can't have citrus and the other strawberries.  Neither has great digestion! 

Are you in Canada?  Or more north than that?  I am on Vancouver Island.

I second the great doctor!  Most docs I have encountered can't think past the Canada Food Pyramid...
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I'm in Minnesota, about an hour from the Canada border....not my hometown though - I'm from the South (Arkansas) so it's way north for me! lol

I tried to post some recipes and photos but they were flagged as spam for some reason, I'll try to post them again soon. You can also go to my blog as I post all my food there, though keep in mind we are new to this so are probably not strict paleo like most of you here. 

The kids start school in 2 days so this weekend has been filled with trying to come up with ideas for their lunches, whew - there is not a lot of lunch ideas for paleo kids on the web!  But I think we'll so ok, I had them each make a list of what they would eat so I can use that as a guide.

What's hard for me is that here the produce sucks, because lack of sunshine I'm assuming. And we don't play outside as much because it's so cold - I miss my Arkansas sunshine! I'm looking into vitamin D right now as we are sure going to need something this winter. Brrr!
