The Paleo Diet

I pretty much eat this diet. Ive heard of paleo, but never read anything about it until you linked it Although, I dont put as much emphasis on moderating fatty meat like chicken thighs or pork steaks. It's worked very well for me in the past and currently. I've dropped 33 lbs since I got serious about getting back on track on July 11th.

Ive mentioned this before, but carbs are my enemy. Even complex carbs. The only carbs I really take in are dietary fibers and sugar alcohols.

Paleo is the best thing you can ever do not just for your appearance but for your health. The American nutritional mainstream is what's causing the "obesity epidemic" and a laundry list of degenerative diseases plaguing the American public. It's insane that physicians actually suggest that diabetics who cannot properly respond to carbohydrates, consume a diet where 65% of their calories come from carbohydrates. Seriously? How ignorant can you be to follow idiotic advice like that?

I think there are some good parts to it, but some parts are ridiculous. I agree with everything the article says, and I only wish the author had written more. There's a lot of pseudoscience, and some real science to the diet. Do you need to cut out 100% of other carbs? NO. But will actually getting your diet together, eating less processed foods, eating more vegetables and protein instead of just eating anything give you results? Yes.

I'd say 95% of everything everyone is saying about Paleo diets and ketogenic diets are based on factual evidence. Mary enig, Gary taubes, Robb wolf just to name a few have wonderful works. Plus I've read tons of journal articles supporting it. It's true, it's valid, and I've seen it work with my own eyes.

Newbie here, but I'm a fan of Paleo-like diets. I think the major benefits come from the absence of sugar and high-glycemic foods. For my B-day I got a book called "Paleo Comfort Foods" and it has some gooood recipes in there.

The benefits of that lifestyle are overwhelming. Enjoy Carnun!

I been on a Keto diet for only 4 days and dropped 7 pounds and feel much better. My trainer says I need to run this for 2 weeks then hes going to change it up. Got to cut some fat ha ha.......
