Paleo Diet

So after starting to get into shape and loosing a bit of weight I decided to challenge myself further by going on a Paleo Diet in addition to the calorie counting. Any tips to a newbie? Sweet awesome recipes that are easy to cook up?

  • Hi Silenttech

    There are lots of good resources out there. I've just finished whole30 a very strict version of paleo and am going to continue for another 30 days and some of the best recipes I've found we're from the following:

    Nom nom paleo - website and app
    Élanas pantry - book and blog
    Whole9 - website and book - it starts with food
    Well fed - book

    Hope this helps

    Mark's Daily Apple is a huge website chocked full of info. PaleOMG has a number of recipes too.
  • Lots of options out there on "how to", but it's really a lifestyle so you have to find what works for you.

    Primal = high fat, moderate protein ; Paleo = high protein, moderate fat

    Now deciding whether to do dairy or not is up to you, some people do no potatoes, no white rice, also totally up to you. It's about what your body can tolerate. I'll also add autoimmune paleo here if you have any autoimmune disease (PCOD, thyroid disease, RA, etc.)

    I'll also add I never had to buy any books. I found tons of info online. I have lost more than half the weight I gained with my thyroid disease and I am very happy about that. Paleo also helps with the dry skin, and it's high in nutrients since I eat so many veggies..I'll try to check back here if you have more questions, but you can tweet me @jess429. Also most of the sites listed in this thread, not just my post have facebook counterparts.
