Anyone try the paleo diet? Veggies, fruit, protein and fat daily. Saw it on Dr. Oz today. Would like to try!

    I recently tried a sugar detox that is basically paleo (no grains) but also no sugar. It was hell for me. Mostly because I love me some grains! Hot cereal, cold cereal, bread ... I was just miserable, personally. I didn't make it very far. But I know people who love the paleo life. Personally, I am of the belief that too much animal protein is not healthy. That's my opinion, but there are many others out there!

    Whelp, that does it. Paleo's jumped the shark. :) It's on Dr. Oz.

    MarksDailyApple.com RobbWolf.com and NerdFitness.com are three great sites for paleo / primal eating.

    There's even an app for that (PaleoCentral).

    In short, eat what your great, great, great grandparents might have eaten. Unlikely there was a lot of potato chips involved. Might have been some homemade bread, probably stone ground whole wheat. Mostly though it was food from the ground or food that walked across the ground or food that grew above the ground.

    If you couldn't chase it down, dig it up or pick it off, it likely isn't paleo.

    Been toying with the idea of going paleo. I did it once a long time ago, and I sort of went off and did my own thing. Now I'm back and I think I want to start up again. Any paleo people out there who can motivate me? Thanks for the support!

    I've been Paleo for the past.....what.....3 years? Yeah. It all started with a website called www.marksdailyapple.com Completely changed my life. It took me a good 6 months of lurking his blog and reading all I could and even though I was fully convinced that grains were not for me I did not want to give them up (total mental thing for me). I finally gave in and did a 30 day Primal challenge (Paleo/Primal...only difference really being the issue of dairy). Three weeks into the challenge I messed up and had a cheeseburger. I paid dearly for that. From that moment on I did my best to avoid gluten. It was so, so hard at first, but now it's second nature. I don't even blink twice at a piece of bread. The smell makes me gag....literally, that sweet yummy smell of freshly baked bread is like the fish aisle in Fred Meyer we hated walking by. lol I'm not perfect, and really, Paleo is what YOU make of it. It's more of a template than anything. Eat what our ancestors ate (veggies, grass-fed beef, pastured chickens, nuts, seeds, fruit, lots of coconut).

    If you want help or anything I have my diary open to friends so shoot me a friend's request. :)
