This is really common with Paleo Challengers and relates to electrolyte balance. Couple things you can do:
1) Add lemon or lime to water/club soda.
2) Take Endurolytes (based on the description on the bottle). You can order off Amazon.com or get a Vitamin/Supplement stores.
@Canadian Chad –
1. Can you give a prize breakdown for the Paleo Challenge? Good motiviation for the last 11 days
We’re giving out prizes for top 5. The cash breakdown is:
1st Place – 35%
2nd Place – 25%
3rd Place – 20%
4th Place – 12.5%
5th Place – 7.5%
Plus we’ll have some prizes donated by Catalyst Meals and White House Meats that I’ll announce later.
2. Do you think you’ll announce the winners at the last challenge or will it most likely be later on. Just curious. Figured it would be hard to tally everything that day.
Yes, I’ll be announcing the winners and handing out cash to the winners at the Finale.
Love, love, love PaleoOMG. She’s funny and her recipes are my list for post-challenge. She’s my daily read.
Other ones are:
Theclothesmakethegirl (entertaining, I heard her cookbook is awesome)
Fastpaleo (lots of recipes)
Nom Nom Paleo
Robb Wolf’s podcast (there are some audio issues)
Latest in Paleo podcast
Mark’s Daily Apple iTunes App
Balanced Bites is probably the site I frequent most. I’ve also started a hand written cookbook to better organize all the recipes that I’ve found across the various websites. It’s made shopping a lot easier to have all the recipes in one place and I can find dishes that include similar ingredients so that I don’t end up with wasted food. My big challenge for this week is to learn how to use a crock pot. Never had one in my house growing up, so they are quite foreign to me but seem like a great way to cut back on food prep time since it cooks while you’re out of the house.
I think Brian’s caught up to all of your questions now, but if you didn’t get yours answered, please repost!
@Steve O, from a couple of days ago — if you’re running out of steam in the afternoons, try eating a small meal (including protein) between lunch and dinner even if you’re not super hungry.
