    I just finished a 30 day Paleo challenge and LOVED IT. I lost 11 lbs and feel fantastic. My sleep has improved greatly, despite two wee ones who like to wake me up at night and I no longer get the mid afternoon slumps. I eat loads of veggies, some fruit and meat. It's great. The challenge ended yesterday but I am not going back to eating grains, legumes or soy. I have decided to lighten up a bit from the challenge and have wine and dark chocolate, as well as some dairy when necessary (ie when it is in curries and stuff)

    hmm. not on paleo, but have cut back on carbs, no bread rice, or pasta in a week and only occasional hints of sugar and i have been sleeping like baby!!! never linked the two until u posted this!

    I did it, and having a job where I sit at my desk for 8 hours a day I have not gained weight in a few years... but... I also have not LOST any after the first month or so. But, if you combine it with an exercise program I bet it would work great. I just happen to be doing P90X at the moment and if you do not do the fitness, diet and supplements there is not garuntee it will work... but, it very closely resembles the caveman diet.

    Pretty much other than fiber, carbs suck and are useless. In my opinion. I have added a high fiber english muffin to my diet every other day.

    So, OP... I will be a good case of what happens when you leave the diet after several months (Years really...) and start working in high fiber carbs....

    I ate gluten for years and was just sick all the time. Don't you tell me what to eat or how to run my life! Next you'll be telling me the HCG diet is bad for me and I should eat my exercise calories!


    no no no the HCG diet is GOOD for you, but even better if you pair it with crack.

    Do I look like I do crack?!


    I didn't want to tell you, but.... since you asked.... little bit, yea

    According to Wiki page, it call Paleolithic diet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic_diet)

    "The modern dietary regimen known as the Paleolithic diet (abbreviated paleo diet or paleodiet), also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various human species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic era—a period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture. In common usage, such terms as the "Paleolithic diet" also refer to the actual ancestral human diet. Centered on commonly available modern foods, the "contemporary" Paleolithic diet consists mainly of grass-fed pasture raised meats, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils."

    This does not sounds bad at all ===> "Paleolithic diet consists mainly of grass-fed pasture raised meats, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils."

    To me, it's sounds like eating whole food, natural food, and stay away from process food.

    I'm on your side. I think it's more or less the word "DIET" making people think it's just another one for marketing, which there are so many fad diet out there.

    If people read exactly what the "diet" is about, and stop thinking it's another diet but focusing on what this is about, they might have different opinion on it.

    I haven't read the whole book, only parts of it, but in Primal Blueprint Sisson says if you're going to drink Tequila is where it's at and to that I say "hell yeah!" If you don't like tequila wine is okay too. Personally I try to eat primal 60% of the time (moving towards 80%) but I drink vodka & soda and wine :)

    first off if most people actually looked at what the word diet really meant ,
    Noun: The kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.
