    We eat about 80% Paleo right now… we do our best, but sometimes we eat potatoes, and occasionally rice or quinoa

    Thank you :) I think she's cute haha!!
    A typical day for me would be:

    Breakfast: Egg cooked in coconut oil (sometimes added goat cheese) with stir fried vegetables
    Morning snack: Berries and nuts, or a smoothie
    Lunch: Leftovers from dinner the day before (I ALWAYS cook extras so we have lunch)
    afternoon snack: whatever I feel like- my favourite right now is a baked greek salad- I work from home so I've been having fun making things. If I'm feeling sluggish, I will have a baked potato or something (which isn't really paleo, but I tolerate it really well)
    Dinner: Anything you can imagine… I do all our cooking at home, and we RARELY eat out. There is always a meat/fish/poultry/seafood, then 1-2 different vegetables

    Last night for example:
    Sole with diced tomatoes and onions, baked
    sautéed green beans
    spinach salad with strawberries and almond slices and balsamic vinegar dressing

    then for dessert we had homemade "jello" (pureed fruit, mixed with gelatin and a bit of honey or maple syrup- right now it's syrup season where I live, so we used that)

    In a day, I always try to consume:
    at least one tablespoon of coconut oil either in cooking, mixed in a smoothie, or somewhere
    high quality fish oil supplement
    1 tbsp of gelatin to help with skin support and strong nutrition

    I've lost most of my weight eating 'vaguely paleo' - meaning some days are stricter than others, depending on my mood.

    I sometimes eat oats, or pasta, or bread or whatever. Depends.

    I found the 'Well Fed' book to be great, and the most easiest, simplistic Paleo-based cooking book out there. Mark Sisson's 'Primal' book is good too. I like his more relaxed view - so I have cream in my coffee.

    Though really, I think it's the move to less processed foods that's helped me the most, perhaps more so than the 'no grains, no legumes' rules.

    I eat Paelo around 80% I have the occasion potato and rice, but thats about the only difference so its a main life style change but you need to tweak it for yourself as well.

    Typical morning for me
    Porriadge oats with some kind of fruit
    Snack - fruit
    Lunch, healthy salad, no dressings mainly greens with tuna or turkey
    Snack - different fruit or vegtable sticks
    Dinner, fish with steamed veggies

    Other snacks can include seeds and nuts.

    By all means add if i can help, my diary is open to friends.
