I'm only going by Wikipedia here but that appears to be insoluble fibre. And broccoli seems to be more of a soluble fibre veggie.
Good luck tomorrow... #prayfordespire

I rarely try a recipe where I need to substitute. I did that once and got the ratio wrong. End result was basically unedible. I have found a few, good paleo/gluten-free coconut flour recipes but they seem a little off. When I follow the directions exactly the batter seems much too wet. It cooks well enough, but sometimes it's a bit too moist in the middle after, if that makes sense. I think I finally have what the consistancy of the batter should be like, but it took more trial and error with a coco-flour recipe than I expected.
Would your friend be willing to share their recipe?
Yeah, we'll see. At least I'm happy I won't have to eat this much broccoli ever again. Now to find something with more of the insoluble kind.

It's based off of a recipe for coconut muffins in The Primal Blueprint Reader-Created Coconut Recipe Cookbook which I think you can get for free from marksdailyapple. That's all I know, though.
Great! Thanks for the info. I did not know about this. Looks like I'm baking tomorrow.

yea it's only a 100 bux, I have a good blender that liquefies everything and I am also thinking about buying this.
Damn, that does sound good!
I'm rocking stir-fried (like real stir fry in a wok) beef and broccoli. Teriyaki marinated thin-sliced beef + broccoli + soy sauce + sesame oil and sesame seeds. First time I've made this since buying my wok. I'm digging it. Very easy and healthy...I can see this become a regular in my meal rotation.

That's what I've always heard/thought too, but for a long time now it's been the opposite for me.

Make sure your coconut oil is expeller pressed/virgin and not refined/deodorized.
I buy Nutiva. Great quality, taste, and value.

Hahahha nice. Have you tried their garlic herb version? freaking nice.
Refined coconut oil is great for cooking at high heat without the coconut taste. Sure, you lose some nutrients during refinement, but it's still a great oil.
I also noticed that the sunflower oil sold at whole foods his the high oleic kind, I never knew that. Basically that means at least 80% of the oil is made from the same monounsaturated fats as olive oil, it also has a neutral taste, that's another good option.

Egg Muffin Recipe
This makes a dozen, and you will need a cupcake tin, or some other kind of vessel that can get thrown in the oven. They are basically single serving quiche.
I like to throw in about half a pound of bacon, and I cook this in the oven @375 for 20 min a side. Baking it allows you to save the grease easier.
Cut up a med/L onion, a bell pepper, and a jalapeno pepper.
start cooking these with either butter, olive (or other oil), or I use bacon grease that I've been saving (more fat the better) takes about 5 minutes so plan accordingly with bacon. Turn off.
while your peppers are cooking. crack 12 eggs in a big bowl and whip 'em up like you're going to scramble them. If you like them fluffy put a 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder in it, but they taste fine without.
When pan has cooled a bit, throw in eggs.
Cut bacon into little pieces and throw in eggs too.
I have a 1/4 cup measuring cup that I use to fill the cupcake tins, but whatever is easiest for you to transfer egg mixture into tin. Bake for 10-15 min @350 or until fairly solid.

Not much info in the article but nice to know there's a book coming out on the subject.
So, I've been Paleo-ing for the last month, and as it became more and more evident that it's better for me, I've taken it seriously and now I find my body in moderate ketosis.
Should I stay on course and add exercise to burn the flab out? Or must I supplement the exercise with extra dietary supplements.
Oh god how did this end up here Im not good with health

You should always try and eat food instead of supplements. Eat a wide variety of foods to get all the vitamins and minerals you need. That being said, not everyone can afford to do that, or might not have access to certain foods. It's hard to say without seeing what your diet looks like now. For the past couple of weeks, I've been eating 3 brazil nuts with my breakfast for the selenium. I eat salmon at least twice a week for the omega-3's. I'm going to try and start eating oysters for the zinc.
And be careful not to overtrain, you don't need to kill yourself with exercise, I see lots of people really go overboard with cardio, resistance training is great for fat loss as well. And if you're going to be heavily active, make sure you're upping the calories to give your body the extra fuel it needs.

I'm too poor to do this diet and still get a sufficient amount of protein. I could just eat a bunch of veggies but I need that protein
Read this article and see if it do able for you.

He comes off as an asshole and a shill.
And it's still way expensive because well, cooking at home with fresh ingredients is going to be regardless if on a diet or not.
Just go to your neighborhood grocery store and do the coupons thing. No need to have fancy names or packages as it is a minimal difference at best.
You can buy frozen and canned veggies and other minimally processed foods and not go overbudget.
Also, for beginners I'm a fan of no nonsense cooking. Just use simple ingredients and equipment. It's like getting into photography, the most important thing is building up your skills not the equipment.
Personally I disagree base on my own experiments. All I need is magnesium(preferably glycinate or malate). I just pooped a dodger dog long solid poop yesterday and I barely eat veggies. Also I poop 2-3 times a day.
his college diet paragraph is fucking bullshit, I'm sorry. Oh great, you worked a lot and supported your family. Some people do the same exact thing, but also pay rent, utilities, insurance, car payments, tuition, gas, EVERYTHING. ON A 20-30K a year salary, with all the aforementioned shit, people have to live paycheck to paycheck, basically. His holier than though attitude is fucking stupid. Congratulations on supporting your family, but suck my dick. Some of us can't get as much money as you did in those situations.

After 2.5 weeks of Bulletproof Paleo, I've dropped about 14 lbs.

Wow, nice. Is there a specific meal guide or do you just follow the list of good foods/bad foods on their website?

I'm pretty strict about following that guide. I cheated with a cheeseburger last Saturday. And it was disastrous on my intestines. So, I'm going to stick with it as much as possible.
I mean, I lost 14 pounds eating lots of bacon and putting butter in coffee.
Cheese burger isn't really cheating unless you had a traditional bun. Paleo friendly burger with bun

That looks disgusting.
Just take the damn hit and make it with buns.

I truly cannot afford to go Paleo so I've just been doing my own thing trying to lose weight. I'm eating less in general, taking in more vegetables and cutting out as much bread/potatos/sugar/processed foods as possible. I still go out for beers once in a while so I'm enjoying the best of both worlds.

I had Five Guys. With fries. And a Cherry Coke.
Because to some it's not a weight loss diet, it's just the way they eat. The same way vegetarians don't eat meat, Paleo-ers? don't eat grains. And plus, 2 meat patties are better than 1.
as delicious as the grass-fed steak I bought for tomorrow, I'm hype! haven't had steak in way too long
You need to find out if quinoa can effect your weight loss or not, so give it few weeks after consuming quinoa and then decide if you want to incorporate in your diet. If you perform, feel and look great then keep eating them.

We already covered this. Soluble and insoluble fiber do different things. Insoluble fiber (like from broccoli) can make diarrhea worse.
Did you guys even read the article? Are you telling me you really spend less than $25 per week on groceries? Because that's what his bill came out to, even while shopping at Whole Foods ($100 for 2 people for 2 weeks). That's less than $1.20 per meal. He said he could even knock it down to $15 per person per week shopping at big box grocery stores.

The last 2 weeks I've done cheeseburgers without the buns...delicious. I'm adding bacon next time.
While I do not endorse being too anal about the type of food you eat and strongly advocate the 80/20 rule, I would avoid everything that contains vegetable oils, especially if you consume it daily and the labeling is that vague.
I'd try to replace that sauce with something else or try to do it myself, at least that's how I would act in your situation.

That actually looks kind of good. It looks like a thinner version of the biscuits in the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit from McDonald's.

You don't have to buy frozen. There are pictures of a giant pile of fresh, non-frozen produce that he bought for $20. More than enough for a couple of weeks for 2 people.
He might be an ass, but that doesn't make the advice any less sound.
