    Ha, bacon won't be paleo :x

    It depends who you ask - which is one of the big confusing parts of this diet. Most will call bacon paleo and it's only the most strict who may not. (we can all find links to the contrary, so no need for a bacon is/isn't argument - just do own research and make own choices).
    I find Turkey Bacon a really good substitute for general eating (like breakfast) but will always add real bacon whenever I can and consider it "paleo"... it's like caveman candy! Just have to get it as natural and unprocessed as possible. Not the cheap stuff nor the maple flavoured crap.

    Exactly - a lot of commercial bacon has added sugar, flavorings, preservatives, nitrates, You can find nice sugar free uncured bacon but it is quite hard to find and a bit on the more expensive side...

    I will have been paleo for a year this march. I lost 40 lbs in 4 - 5 months and have had no trouble keeping it off. I truly believe that portion control is a load of crap. No cave man weighed his venison before he ate... I have never felt better!

    I am NOT on the paleo diet, but i hear great things about it. make sure you're careful about your red meat intake though...

    Oh and don't lose your mind over it! my boyfriend's cousin is on it and she just recently bought a live cow so that her family could have grass fed beef eventually. well she bought a dairy cow, not a beef cow and she's never even had a pet before, so this is going to end horribly...

    but if you're not as nuts as she is, it'll help you in your journey!

    LOL

    Because it depended on the hunt. They ate when they could. Sometimes they could eat like kings. Other times, they went hungry. They didn't have the ready food supply we have now. That is why many people need portion control.
