No, flax seeds are not grain. Grain is the name for seeds from grass. The flax plant is not a type of grass.

thank you for clarifying this for me. I make flax muffins often.

I've been kind of scared to switch to a higher-carb plan than Atkins, but I think I will, I need more diversity in my diet. I have Mark's book and just bought his quick and easy cookbook for my Kindle. It is a wonderful plan based on whole foods and I can't wait to transition to it.

I got the Make It Paleo and the Comfort Food cookbooks. Everything has been great that I made--pictures gorgeous too. Doesn't necessarily have to be higher carb. But yes, more diversity. I like having a clementine (cutie) and some apple from time to time.

I've read the Primal Blueprint and I think it's an outstanding book!

Sooze, I got them for my kindle and the pictures are gray and blurry

but I guess that can't be helped. One thing I like best about cookbooks is the colorful, glossy pictures....

Did you also get the free PDFs from MDA - the reader-created cookbook and coconut cookbook? They are really, really good.

Yes..got those. Bought a bag of the coconut flour but have mostly been using the almond flour. But loves me some coconut milk. May try and make my own. I'm going to make some almond milk this week.

Let me know how it went. I love love love coconut milk. Made a chicken curry with it the other day and the family loved it. I love it in my coffee. Buy it by the dozen cans online.

Hate the flavor of coconut oil, but love the fresh, mild flavor of coconut milk.

I'm so excited to have found this thread! I have all Mark's books and have been following this WOE since October. It will be great to have a group of friends to chat with.

I don't do the primal plan but maybe someday. I wonder if you are doing it low carb?

dlebbin · 01-18-2012, 02:51 PM

Basically, yes, I am doing it low carb. I eat meat, fish, poultry, eggs, veggies, limited fruit, limited dairy. I don't eat grains, legumes, or sugar.

Unfortunately, the thread is a bit slow

I'm following a long....I haven't read the book but am deff interested in more information. I'll check out Mark's site a little more in depth...I have been doing Atkins for a while and would really like to increase my carbs some. I don't eat any processed foods at all, mostly fresh veggies and meats. I do use coconut oil and a little cheese here and there.

Hello everyone I am new here, I lost over 105 lbs eating the primal way together with other methods, lately I have gained 17lbs back and am looking to learn more on how to lose and keep it off.
