What No One Tells You About Going Paleo (Hint: It's Sad)

This is one of the best things I've ever read! Hilarious, but I also have to thank you for allowing me to experience a Paleo diet in five minutes of reading rather than in weeks of horror. I was right there with you every step of the way. I will stick to a sensible CICO deficit!

A very funny rendition of Paleo lifestyle. It is not an easy way to eat. I have eaten Paleo for three years now. In fact the first 6 months was much like what you describe. I would not imagine choosing to eat this way if I didn't have to. I have an autoimmune condition and I am allergic to anti-inflammatories. My airway closes at the slightest dose of advil. So instead of regular shots of steroids in my spinal facets, and my SI joints, and talks of remicade treatments.. I chose to research paleo eating. This is a mistake to call it a diet. Anyone looking for an easy way to lose weight without work.. well this isn't it. Essentially your making everything from scratch. Nothing processed, as natural as can be. I have become an excellent cook now, but its very expensive and time consuming... still cheaper than remicade. I am pain med free 95 percent of the time, and I have lost 65 pounds, I can out run my teens, and took up cycling, xc mtb, did two tough mudders, two other obstacle races, and backpack 30 miles every fall solo. I have cheat days. I pay the price with pain, and tears, but paleo eating has put my autoimmune condition in control. My rheumy is amazed. I think people look at paleo for the wrong reason. It's not a diet, its a lifestyle, that is unable to be kept to if there is no underlying reason to. Where there's a will theres a way. Thanks for the laugh :P

'Being paleo has killed my will to live, so I'm to sad to snack' Bwahahaha!
This was such a funny read! Thanks for the laugh

This made me laugh so much! Thanks.

This had me spitting my smoothie on the laptop screen. I wouldn't even attempt paleo, although I do have a cookbook of decent paleo crockpot recipes that are not nearly as soul sucking as the cookies. I got it because they were appealing in general, not because I have any paleo aspirations.

I'm 90/10 Paleo but this was helpful and so true. Paleo is a love/hate lifestyle. Hard, but worth it.

haha ... OP you are seriously awesome!

That made my afternoon.

Beautiful. Exactly how I felt about Paleo.
