a lot of people do it, I personally find it useless, as long as you're on a deficit. If you eat an apple tomorrow on the keto diet (or the paleo) and drink water.. you will gain back 10 lbs... The reason why people like the paleo is cause the first week, you lose all your glycogen storages and that makes you lose ~10 lbs of water weight0

I'd rather enjoy my apple or slice of bread and lose weight rather worrying about whether or not I will gain it all back with 1 meal0

I've been doing the paleo diet for a few months now. I never noticed how much of a bad effect grains and dairy had on me until I started this diet. I eat as paleo as I can afford, and I also have my cheat meals. They seem to get more paleo as the months go on. I have TONS of recipes if you're stuck for some ideas. Biggest thing I find is to not stress over every bit of food if it's paleo or not. I don't see paleo as a diet, it's just choosing better foods. You will get a lot of people who try and tear you down for eating this way simply because they do not understand it and don't want to. Add me if like.0

I do a modified version of paleo that is more sustainable in the long term. I eat lean meats, fresh veggies, nuts and seeds and a small amount of fruit. I steer clear of processed foods but will sometimes have a potato and some milk products.0

congratulations on your success with Paleo, I hope I see similar results as I am on day 2 of my 30 day challenge with it.0

I'm new to Paleo.
Can anyone recommend what my daily nutrient goals should be? I'm a bit confused how to do it to fit in with Paleo.
Thanks0 -
I'm doing keto currently which is in the same category. Just a little more fat and a little less fruit.
I still love my tomatoes and smoothies occasionally though!0 -
apples are allowed on paleo. it's not always low carb. just no processed carbs or white potatoes.0

I do something called calorie deficit to lose weight…oh wait, so do you …0

lol…and let the verbal paleo gymnastics begin …
if paleo is so great why there are a million different ways to not do "paleo" as it was intended…whatever that is...0 -
You may have better luck with the paleo group here:I'm looking for Paleo MFP friends!
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/54-primal-paleo-support-group
These threads invariably turn into paleo bashing threads.
ps: I'm not "paleo" per se, but get why some folks are, and I'm a member of that group.0 -
I'd like to thank you too
I think different lifestyles work for different people... makes no sense to me to bash any one way
if it works. it works

What??? I think you have paleo and keto confused. In your defense, many paleo eaters are keto-paleo or keto-primal, but paleo in itself is not automatically very low carb and fruit is usually eaten regularly.0 -
No doubt.I do something called calorie deficit to lose weight…oh wait, so do you …
Rather eat whatever foods I want with some restraint than half to follow all those rules.
No white potatoes? Didnt know the diet was racist too...0 -
Ive lost 24 lbs since I have started on march 18th..sugar cravings are gone..and I stick to strict paleo eating. ..which is in all honesty the healthiest way of eating!..I love it and I feel so much better inside and out.0

um. this is not true.
Wait.. you do have a great initial drop.. that's true.. but you can have apples on paleo... unless you're keto paleo (which is just too mind boggling for me to even contemplate right now..lol) you can have all kinds of fruits actually.. and still see a loss
if it works for you.. and you like what you're eating, I say do it. 0 -

Why'd you bump a month old thread to correct someone who was actually right. Low carb diets make you lose water weight, eating carbs causes water retention (glycogen in the muscles) so when you eat low/no carbs, you weigh less. Then you gain a bunch of water weight as soon as you eat carbs.
But whatever, was hoping for a Paleo thread. Bored today.0 -
I like beans too much.
Hey, I have a question...if beans were not a part of Paloelithic peoples diet, where did they come from? Did they just magically appear and someone started to cultivate them? I mean, they had to have been present SOMEWHERE during the late Paloelithic era.
This is was I was pondering last night.0 -

Everything works. People just have to stick to it and do it, whatever it is.
OK, eating 12 snickers bars and yoo hoo's doesn't work, but you get my drift.0 -

What I wonder, is why do paleo people not eat more crickets? Paleolithic man ate mad bugs, y'all. Start harvesting grubs asap.0 -
Ok there is my take on it... CALL IT WHAT EVER YOU WANT... I use the guidelines from Paleo to eat a more healthy and clean diet of foods. People who dislike seem to hate on the idea of the PALEO/CAVEMAN thing and use that to discredit it. I get it.
What PALEO did for me was get a lot of processed food out of my diet. Kept me away from fast food and forced me to cook more for myself which in the end helped me go from a size 12/14 to a size 2/4. I eat it "paleo" about 80/20% of the time. I allow myself to enjoy life and have foods that aren't part of the program some of the time.
I make sure I get my carbs from certain veggies and sweet potatoes which I love. I don't drink soft drinks that often (no diet coke in 42 days), I drink a ton more water. I fuel for my workouts and I am ... AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART FOR ME... I am HAPPY in my own skin for the FIRST TIME in my LIFE.
Add me if you like or are interested in seeing my food diary. Post most of the time.0 -

^ This for me. I like food and drinks too much to limit any thing except how much I eat and drink of it all.0 -
