I don't believe anyone can say paleolithic people didn't eat dairy

I have Vice Cream & the Uncheese Cookbook (I was vegan prior to my first pregnancy) There are SO many good recipes in there! Most of the recipes use a LOT of nuts, thus pretty expensive to make & extremely rich. There's a delicious cheesecake in the Uncheese Cookbook made with cashew nuts & millet. Sooo good!

I don't know how I'd recreate it sans grains, though. I'm so sensitive to them I haven't had the guts to experiment with gluten free grains, I just cut them all out fearing feeling like that again! I'm also out on even "all natural" sweeteners as I have a metabolic condition. Unfortunately I'm not just low carb because it's "cool" or "hardcore" I'm so envious of the people who can eat maple syrup. Oh how I want some real maple goodness on my pancakes!

That's interesting! I can definitely get behind the idea of black beans in a cake, other than the fact they're not paleo. They're dark and moist. I'd hate to find a partially intact white bean in my cake!

Gosh, I wish I'd made this cake for my nephew instead of buying the gluten free better crocker cake mix. (I didn't want gluten in my kitchen).

Hey gals! I made a new thread here & hope you ladies will come over so we can support each other without the unsolicited advice of very unpregnant men!

Hope I see you there!

a couple ideas (and I wish I knew about paleo with my pregnancies, my kiddo's got the high carb junk thing but at 5 and 7 are now pretty paleo/natural foods-I don't push it so they still eat cereal but they are both almost 100% gluten free, raw milk, pastured eggs, coconut oil and plenty of grass fed meat kiddo's)
if you want milk and are afraid of raw, why not pasteurize it yourself? That way you avoid homogenization and ultra-pasteurization, and you know your milk is grass fed and good, and can consume right away after pasteurization, limiting bad bug exposure-just a thought. I've made my own yoghurt and yoghurt cheese out of it. (I don't pasteurize our milk except for yoghurt)
I've made that black bean cake before, it's way good! I also like making a pumpkin cake out of ground up almonds and using coconut oil for the oil-majorly yummy and completely paleo although the honey does drive the carbs up a bit. Mmmmmm! *sigh* and I've sworn off all sweets except for fruit for 2 weeks cause I need to shed these 10 pounds........LOL

That's so funny!! Aren't we supposed to be color blind or something? & "OMFG" - you blend the beans with the eggs in a blender!! I blended them FOREVER hoping to elliminate ANY type of bean texture - my blender actually got hot from going so long

SO "unpaleo" - yet OH SO delicious!

Anyway! Yes, thank you "hardcore" paleo public for all the "ideas" regarding what foods you feel I should and should not put in my own pregnant body!

I started my own thread that shall remain free of unsolicited advice in L/C Parenting & Pregnancy - women are welcome to come us in support of one another... but keep your advice to yourself!

Here's the link again: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...102#post7881102

Carry on with your very hardcore unpregnant paleo selves!

Take a yoga class and see if you can barf up your pants legs. That story was soooo funny. I just had this image of you trying to barf politely in public, into your sweater sleeve.

omg!

When I was preggers with my youngest (20 years ago) all I could keep down was fish, fruit, veggies and cheeses. It took months before I could eat chicken and beef again.

I came out of that pregnancy 20 pounds lighter then going into it.

Edited to add: I am glad my eyetest is at the end of August. I thought your plan said...pregnant and h*rny.

I can and will.


Yeah, obviously guys know nothing about pregnancy and can't be allowed to comment in a public forum on the topic...

You are welcome.

If you are eating paleo it should be welcome advice. You can't expect anything different from posting in the paleo pregnancy thread.

I'm sorry if you lack the motivation to eat what you should whilst pregnant, instead of whatever you feel like.

I made cupcakes from this recipe for my daughter-in-law's baby show a month ago, and they tasted pretty darn good! My DiL is Chinese and they use beans a lot in the cooking of desserty-type things, so it was not at all odd to her.

The baby is due in about a week now so we are all counting down. My DiL got pregnant a month after switching to a Weston A. Price based diet after three years of trying. She and my son are not fully paleo and (dare I say it here? ) don't even buy into the total paleo way of eating. But they do eat lots of meats and bone broths and fruit, eggs, veggies,nuts, lacto-fermented stuff. But they also eat occasional brown rice and yams, and raw milk. My DiL has drunk raw milk throughout her pregnancy.

So far everyone looks and feels great. The baby is now about seven pounds, so my DiL says he he welcome to come into the world at any time now.

Oh yes - I know! You are the most hardcorest paleo guru! I've seen you on Mark's forums too - none of us hold a candle to your hardcorestness!



Comment away! Unfortunately I don't have any helpful suggestions on how to pee standing up, so I can't reciprocate in this gender-bending feat.



I don't eat books, I eat food. I'm not some brainwashed follower, I actually have a brain that functions independantly of "some books and blogs I read that sound cool and stuff"

I am eating exactly what I should whist pregnant, but thanks for your concern!

I PROMISE that when I figure out how to travel back in time 3 million years as you clearly have, I'll definitely check out that Paleo-midwifery School that you attended!

This is getting ridiculous. Why don't we have a nice mixed-gender discussion about Paleo pregnancy here. There is a separate thread for non-Paleo women-only discussion of pregnancy now.

Even the people here who do use dairy are not likely to say it was consumed in the Paleolithic era. I certainly wouldn't.


Doubtless Centa is too embarrassed by Tarlach's mouthing off to comment here, but I'm sure she taught him a thing or two about pregnancy. How much of a discussion could we have here if we could only relate firsthand knowledge?

I could do it...

Aim for the bowl.

That's my advice...

Oh yes, one more piece of advice, definitely influenced by my gender... put the dang seat down.

Let's not get nasty, folks. The thing is, being pregnant messes with everything: your hormones and your brain. It's not just a matter of doing what you think is right. You have an alien invasion in your body, and it takes over more than anyone who hasn't been pregnant can imagine. I think it's fine for men to comment, as long as they realize there is no arguing with a pregnant woman.
