Yep, I can't believe it myself. I've lost 30 lbs in exactly 8 weeks of Paleo eating. I know that Paleo enthusiasts cringe when they see "newbs" post about their weight loss, as the Paleo lifestyle is geared to make you very healthy - that is the selling point - with weight loss being a by-product. Well I have to say - I'm on board both trains here. I feel so good - at least 10 years younger - in the past 2 months. I have more energy, I never feel "like a slug" after meals anymore, and actually look forward to going out for a jog or a bike ride 3 or 4 times per week.

I'm not that "100%" Paleo guy - I'm not overly concerned about sauces at restaurants or if I forget to say "no cheese" on a salad, or little things like that, and I do have a designated "cheat day"... but I just don't go overboard on it. The main staples that I have eliminated 95% are processed foods, dairy, and grains. When you learn to live without microwave meals, diet soda, bread, milk, and cheese - it's amazing how much better you feel.

I have no intention of "Going back" to my old lifestyle, ever. I am so comfortable with this, I actually look forward to creating new meal ideas each week, it's kind of fun. It's just a matter of getting that "must have bread" or "must have cheese" mindset. .. it's so easy to bypass that stuff, and your body LOVES you for it.
