Anyone Familiar with the Paleo Diet?
#1
This diet is really more a way of life in that you eat like our ancestors would have before the time of modern agriculture (no grains, no dairy and no sugar). Diet consists of meats, veggies, fruits and good fats (olive oil, coconut oil, etc).I must admit, the first week or two I really had bagel withdrawl LOL!! But I have lost 15 pounds, my BP is awesome and I feel better than I have in years! If you would like to learn more about this approach to improving your health, check out robbwolfe.com or read the book The Paleo Solution. Its a great read that makes alot of sense as to why so many of us are overweight, sick, depressed and just plain miserable!

Hi Jenni...yes, hubby and I are just trying to get on to it ourselves the last couple of weeks or so. We started crossfit a few weeks ago and they promote the diet there. We really like it although I'm struggling with breakfast the most as we were definitely cereal eaters at breakfast...lol. Unfortunately, I haven't lost any weight yet :( but I know I'm snacking on too many nuts...lol. But it is a great way of eating and we both feel so good.
Congratulations on your weight loss so far...that's great :)

Interesting...I'll have to read more about it! I am watching calories but that is enough for now. I can't give up the grains yet! Though, I'm not getting many, when I think about it...miss_ticky, I'd way overdo the nuts, too! I'm pretty sure pistachios are the reason South Beach was not successful for me many years ago!

Believe me I was sceptical at first, but the proof is in my bloodwork and weight I have lost. :lol:
