Paleo Diet

jofjltncb6

Glad to see that, as of ~9 hours ago, this has met yet another of the essential requirements of a successful paleo thread.

So interesting to see the responses of people who have so little understanding of what the diet is/isn't (or at least what it could/couldn't be). That's almost as nonsensical as me posting in a "looking for 1200 calorie friends" thread.

Oh.

Never mind. Okay, I get it now.

Carry on.

my current eating lifestyle is centered around this diet. i dont eat bread, rice, pasta but i do eat oatmeal only. i lost 5 pounds in a week cause i was stuck at a plateau for 3 months and found i have an endomorph type body so too many carbs stop me from losing more weight. i plan to keep this up for a few months then restrict my bread to only whole grains maybe. im not a bread person.

I aim for a state of nutritional ketosis, its pretty interesting if you want to put the time in to read about it. My macros are about 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. I eat 2300 calories a day and less than 20g carbs a day, work out lightly(kettlebells) 2 times a week, and weigh 120 pounds. I am never hungry and do not feel deprived at all. Sugar and wheat don't make me feel good, so I don't eat it. Makes sense, right? My blood tests have never been better (Low LDL, High HDL, low triglycerides), and (maybe most importantly, at least to me) I don't look like a 10 pound piece of **** stuffed in a 5 pound bag. But go on, tell me about the way YOU eat and how you look because of it..

I'm not paleo and I don't know anyone who is as far as I know, but I've read that LCHF and paleo are really similar and my mom does LCHF, which it a really, really easy diet.
Just picture a normal dinnerplate, i dunno some chicken, peas, mashed potatoes and a brown sauce. Remove the potatoes, replace them with mashed cauliflower or broccoli or just more peas, make the sauce cream based. Done!
Basically replace the carbiest (not a word but whatevs) thing on the plate with vegetables and use fullfat in stead of low.

For snacks, nuts, seeds, vegetables, cold meat, cheese...

For candy, fruit.

It's like the easiest diet ever.

Thank you for your warm wishes.

My HDL is high, LDL and triglycerides are low, no CVD, Blood pressure <100/60.

I eat highish carb;usually at least 200 gm/day and probably always will. Eat processed food even!

Can I be sign up for these unpublished studies?

Lol somatotyping is voodoo nonsense

Paleo/primal is *not* necessarily low carb. It *can* be, and often is *lower* carb (say, 50-200g), but doesn't *have* to be.


ETA: Not necessarily directed at any one comment...just a common misunderstanding that I've noticed in this thread (and others).

Right, I should have been clear; I eat a fairly high carb diet including wheat and legumes. (Just finished making some tasty hummus. )

I don't think that eating Paleo/Primal is necessarily unhealthy but I just get annoyed when someone tells me that I'm on the road to heart disease from eating wheat.
