21 Day Paleo Cleanse beginning tomorrow, who's interested?

I have started doing Paleo about 3 weeks ago but after the New Years holiday I had fallen off a bit so have decided to do a 21 day cleanse doing strict Paleo. Looking for people who may be interested in doing the same and sharing thoughts, recipes, support etc!

Thanks

    Great guys! Some key points is to eliminate bread, dairy (chesse, milk etc...) no grains and stay away from bad carbs like potatoes and pasta. Also no sugar expect for two servings of fruit per day. I use Almond milk in my coffee which works great! Its surely a big change but after about a week you get into a groove. Their are plenty of Paleo recipes online for sure so anyone who trys some recipes that are a hit feel free to share!

    Thanks

    I am doing the Paleo challenge, and I have been eating dairy. My trainer said that makes it more 'Primal' than Paleo, but as long as i am not having an issue and it is full fat dairy it is ok

    Why?

    Wasn't it just rated the worst diet?

    Found it!

    I did a paleo cleanse too! I did my research on it and decided to stay away. I've felt GREAT ever since!

    Oh, I thought we were going to cleanse ourselves of paleo by eating lots of beans and rice. I would be in for that.

    It's really not meant to be a "diet" in the sense that it, in and of itself, will help you lose weight. From my understanding, this diet is more about helping your body recomp in conjuction with excercise (think crossfit, and lifting weights). It teaches your body to use fats as a form of energy in place of the carbs.

    It *can* also be a good diet for those who have gluten sensitivity.

    I know plenty of people who follow the paleo diet and love and and have had great success with it. But, as with any diet, people argue that food groups are unnecessarily cut out. To each their own.

    ETA: I don't currently eat paleo, but I understand the reasoning behind why some people choose to.

    "Paleo cleanse" is a thing now?

    Is a "cleanse" just whatever anyone wants it to be? Juice is a cleanse, water is a cleanse, now piles of bacon is a cleanse.

    What on earth do you people think you're cleansing?

    The soul. Bacon cleanses the soul.

    But not the colon.

    I recently did a 30 Paleo challenge. I did it with friends at the gym. I did not expect to see a difference but I did. I found my gym performance improved significantly and I lost a decent amount in inches mostly stomach bloat. It took a while to get through the sugar reduction and coffee black but now I love it and have decided to stay on it. I find sharing tricks and recipes with a group key. Also it can be a lot of prep. So it is good to plan ahead on the weekend or make big batches that can be used for lunches etc. But trust me it is worth a try.

    This diet makes me sad for you guys.

    If I went to my doctor because I felt bad, tired, listless, and the doctor did some tests, and a week later says, "you have blah, blah disease. the good news is that it is easily curable by cutting out most carbs. Try something like the paleo diet, that's about how you should eat from now on. Why don't you try it or 30 days, and come back and let me know if your symptoms have disappeared."

    In that scenario, I'd be all over it and give it a whirl. But, to just do it is about as random as someone just saying, "stop eating peanut butter". It's like, yeah, no. Not gonna happen.

    I enjoy pasta, rice, bread, corn, peanut butter, and corn chips. I enjoy a bit of cheese and milk and ice cream.

    And, I don't have any negative reaction to any of those foods, so I have no reason to join you. Sorry. But, enjoy your self-inflicted non-sensical suffering.

    Meh, let 'em try it. No harm done to me. It's not like the OP is preaching this is the best diet in the world. He's just looking for other people who want to try it with him. As for me? I enjoy all the non-paleo foods, thank you very much. Good luck y'all!
  • I would love too, but I don't have a source for affordable/good meats/fats. Avocados are $1.50-$3 each here and I cannot afford grain-fed anything, much less find a source for it. We eat deer meat when my DH gets one, but it doesn't last very long. I have several 6ft+ tall people to buy for when I get groceries (they won't go paleo), which doesn't leave me with much $ for the healthy stuff that I need to get. All of the chicken at the store says it has 10% broth/salt/etc added to it. I can kinda afford that, but I don't know it it's good enough. I've already eliminated grains/breads because it makes me feel like crap for days when I eat it. I'm also really sensitive to anything with sugar so I already stay away from that. I've been eating hotdogs, eggs, dill pickles, apples, potatoes, tilapia (when I can find it), kale, spinach, etc.

    I have started doing Paleo about 3 weeks ago but after the New Years holiday I had fallen off a bit so have decided to do a 21 day cleanse doing strict Paleo.

    What do you plan to do after 21 days?

    The only true "paleo" cleanse is to finding a stagnant body of water and drinking a couple of litres worth.

    Are you seriously curious or just waiting for OP to answer so that you can rip into that as well?

    I think the point of the question is "skip the 'cleanse' and just enact the long-term plan now."

    Seemed more like it was a "bait and trap" question to me. *shrugs*

    OP - sorry, not trying to hijack your thread. I hope you can find some people willing to go paleo with you for the next 21 days. There's plenty of paleo eaters out there! :flowerforyou:

    Yes, sometimes that's a good tactic to help someone come to the conclusion themselves, instead of simply handing it to them ;)

    Truly curious.

    ETA: If the diet itself is a short term cleanse, then I was just curious what comes after the cleanse.

    No, the paleo diet is not a short term cleanse. It's a way of eating. And the "cleanse" OP is referring to is just the first stage of "going paleo". It's not actually a "cleanse" at all. It's essentially just ridding your diet of carbs from grains and starches and dairy. There's more to it, but that's the simplified answer. Then, after 30 days, once your body has adjusted to the lack of carbs and learns to procure energy from fats instead of carbs, you can add back dairy if you prefer.

    So... after you "teach your body not to use carbs" you give it carbs again...? Wut?

    This is silly.
