You can say "I don't care" and eat a potato in front of him.0

Oh geez, sounds like fun. My advice is the same thing I tell my husband when the kids are pushing his buttons - do not engage!
Just do not engage. Let him burn himself out, anything else will just feed the fire. The best response to anything related to the topic is just a polite yet disinterested and completely non-committal "hmmm", and change the subject or get back to work.
Good luck!

You could say what my mom always says to the crazy lady on the bus talking about the end of the world: "Thanks for the tip!"0

Or tell him you have learned the error of your ways, and you baked paleo friendly brownies...After he eats them, try to get him to agree with you about how good these paleo brownies make you feel.
Once he does...break out with the "Gotcha...Betty Crocker Mother F-er!"0 -
I like turtles.
Correct response for everything.
I'm partial to "42" as the correct response to everything.0 -

Start Singing "Someone like you" To Him.

Started a new job last week. Sharing a tiny office with a crazy paleo guy. He spent the day lecturing me about beans making ricin and leeching nutrients from my colon.0

Every time he starts talking about it, talk to him about factory farming and show him videos.
That will get him to stop.0 -
wear this under your jacket/blazer with a scarf on top. remove both as soon as he starts his paleo rant.
since you liked my other ideas so much.0 -
Eat a big bowl of ice cream in front of him and make it extremely obvious you're enjoying every bite.0

Just agree with everything he says. I have some newly converted vegan friends. While I totally support them, they do tend to get a bit preachy when someone asks why there isn't cheese on their pizza. Then it's no holds barred vegan talk for the next 45 minutes.
So I just say - yeah, I've heard that too. Or "no I totally agree that humans are the only species to consume another animal's milk." After a while it isn't any fun for them to tell someone something that they are just getting yessed to. Sometimes passion is annoying. But it can be diverted with feigning interest.
I think this is best way to deal with it. Right here. The person that posted this is a lot nicer than I am.0 -
Just leave him alone! Different things for different people. Honestly, I eat Paleo... (most of the time). I am going to assume he CrossFits. All CrossFitters talk about is CrossFit and Paleo. So just get used to it now.0

Looks like ur gonna have to "secret handfist pump" with him.0 -
Why not just say, "That sounds like it's working great for you, but I'm not into extreme elimination diets?" Why drive him crazy?0

I don't know how you could drive him crazy, but I'd enjoy going into my extensive knowledge of the geography and history of Westeros. Nobody enjoys that. Not even Game of Thrones fans.
You could talk about Glee a lot. Bet he'd hate that. Or Young and the Restless. Or Pinterest. Just don't talk about ninjas. Everyone enjoys ninjas.
If you do decide to go the "spouting random facts" route, please say "Fact:" before each fact.0 -
The best way to extinguish a behavior is to ignore it :bigsmile:0

Buy him two books...Paleofantasy and 12 Paleo Myths
Except that Paleofantasy is a mostly awful book.0 -
