    Baby vegan here, still transitioning from vegetarian (lapses maybe two foods a week) but your welcome to add me. I'm doing it for health so it'll be more veggies than Oreos for me

    they can its called the paleo or ketogenic diet. it causes diabetes and it is not healthy. it shortens life. the fat you eat is the fat you wear. If you work out like crazy in the gym maybe that's why you are eating all the at fat and not getting very fat. for a normal person consuming fats in the form of free oils and fried foods is a disaster. such foods are inflammation and cancer promoting.

    I would like to know where you got the source for the Paleo diet causing diabetes and not being healthy, shortening life, etc.

    From my experience, not only has my glucose levels normalized since going on the Paleo eating pattern, my multiple sclerosis is in control with out ANY of the tons of medications I used to be on, and my cholesterol is down to the levels of someone 20 years younger than I am.

    My 80 yo father who was taking insulin shots every day no longer has to since following the paleo eating pattern.

    Most paleo people don't eat an abundance of fried foods, but when we do, we use avocado oil or the like... a healthy fat, and ones that don't break down into a carcinogen due to high heat points breaking it down (like olive oil, and modified vegetable oil) Most of us like to roast or grill our foods at any rate. :)

    At any rate, good luck with your journey, and congrats on finding the right eating pattern for yourself!
