Paleo Diet - Experience?

I don't think cavepeople had "recipes" as such!

Just eat meat, fish, eggs and salad - tasty, healthy and very very easy!

Just eating meat, fish, eggs, and salad works, but it can get boring real fast.

Here are just a few of my favourite paleo/primal recipe sites:

Everydaypaleo.com--Sarah Fragoso's site, which includes recipes. She's got a great paleo cookbook.

Chowstalker.com--this is cool because it's kind of like a pintrest board. You can search with words, or you can just browse photos. Click on the photo and it takes you to the recipe.

NomNomPaleo.com-- She has some fantastic recipes! Also has an app.

TheClothesMakeTheGirl.com-- She also has lots of fantastic recipes, especially all sorts of ethnic food. She has a cookbook out that is great.

PaleOMG.com--she's hilarious, and has good stuff, too.

There are all sorts of great paleo and/or primal sites to find recipes on. You can also do what I do sometimes, and just paleo-ify pretty much any sort of recipe to fit your needs.

Bump for later

all of the above are fabulous websites with great info. I would like to throw in there http://civilizedcavemancooking.com for recipes. :flowerforyou:

I didn't realize that I was eating Paleo-ish, I just kinda evolved into it. Cutting out grains and processed sugars and adding healthy fats to my diet made a world of difference for me. Less inflammation and arthritis pain, better moods, better digestion, no cravings, better sleep. I love it, and will eat this way forever. I even notice that I don't have PMS issues anymore. Hubby loves that! lol

I started with Whole30 (http://www.whole9life.com) back in October and I've been about 90% paleo since. I LOVE it. It kind of takes a back burner while I'm traveling, though. Sometimes there's no kitchen in my hotel room so I have to attempt to find the lesser of all the evils out there. I try my best to avoid dairy now, though. As of Christmas day, I'm VERY aware that I'm lactose intolerant. Bad times! :frown:

I get a lot of my recipes from http://www.chowstalker.com. I like that site because it basically aggregates the recipes from other health recipe sites. Just click on the Whole30 tab.

Changes I've noticed since becoming paleo: fewer allergies, eczema has cleared up a great deal, lost lbs, lost inches around my waist and hips, I sleep better, I'm not in a fog all the time, etc.

Just remember to eat before and after working out.

This is a long, but good read - http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/10/04/the-beginners-guide-to-the-paleo-diet/

Like someone else said, just search it and you'll get a ton of results.

Good luck!

Gnolls.org is another great site for the primal variation I like marksdailyapple.com as well. I love eating this way, I will continue doing it the rest of my life.

I'm a fan of Paleo but I've found it's better for a sedentary lifestyle. If you do a lot of intense anaerobic training, you'll need more carbs. One school of thought is to add back in gluten-free carbs such as rice and starchy vegetables to support rigorous strength training instead of going 100% Paleo. It all depends on your activity level.

i need to look into this! my son has colitis and this might be good for him. i've never heard of this. *excuse me while I crawl out from underneath my rock!!
