Hi! I did a Whole30 January this year, and have been paleo since the Whole30 ended. I've had a few indulgences since then but not a lot. I have leaky gut and several food intolerances. Trying to heal and lose weight. Down 12 lbs since jan 3 and have over 30 to lose.

I was also on keto with @KnitOrMiss and then my mental health tanked. I did a whole 30 last year and felt amazing but went back to old eating habits. I did a second whole 30 in October and stayed 80% paleo and just finished my 3rd whole 30 about 3 weeks ago. Went on vacation and was letting myself have one cheat meal. Well one cheat meal turned into a week long bender and I'm now 5 days back on track and just getting over the detox (again). I feel my best paleo but I find it a bit difficult living in a small town with few options at the store. But I make do with online shopping

Not a stranger to Paleo, but coming back after a while. Stuck to Paleo for over a year and then cannot explain what happened. I still ate well, but added "healthy" non Paleo foods and gained weight and felt tired all the time. Been back to Paleo for a little while now. Just started tracking macros to keep carbs down. Not so worried about calories.

It's about healthy eating for me and preventing sickness later in life. I would like to lose 10 lbs, but am very active and enjoy working out (hot yoga, running, spin, weights).

Glad to be part of the group!

Hello! I'm new here. Call me Timmy or Bug. I've been on Paleo since January 4th of this year. I have several health problems, so I heard a lot of the problems can be helped simply by going Paleo. Should I post my story on here or just post a new thread for my super long health-life story? Long story short, I have lost a total of 43-45lb. A lot of problems I had before are now gone (Not dramatically miraculous stuff, but more minor). I just don't want to go through stuff alone anymore. It'd be good for me to participate in a group with similar thinking and goals. I don't have any local Paleo eater friends. I have a boring social life. lol

I'm looking forward to growing more and more through this group.

I have tried all the diets out there and have to say that none have been sustainable for me. I have done so much research into nutrition and diet and did manage to loose a lot of weight doing the Atkins diet but I found it unsustainable as a lifetime choice.
then I stumbled across the Paleo way of eating, Im not going to call it a diet because to me it looks like a sustainable way of eating and living healthily. I started at the beginning of May 2017 and still used skimmed milk for my decaf tea, a week ago I changed that to Almond milk unsweetened and natural. In the last three weeks I have lost 5 pounds, I can assume that this is fat as I was low carb before this anyway and so did not carry the water as such that carb eaters do. I have lost inches as my trousers are looser for sure. I must measure myself soon for the records.

I have read everything I can get my hands on about Paleo online and watched a lot of video's on YouTube in the last 3 weeks and just ordered a book which I think will be the best start for me.

I do go to the gym 3 -4 times a week for mild cardio work (mild because of a heart condition) I do about 45 minutes and burn around 200 calories per session, I do not go for the calorie burn but for the cardio strengthening benefits, the calorie burn is just a bonus.

Start Weight 162 pounds
Weight today 157 pounds

I refer to marksdailyapple.com
Yes, there's way too many conflicting information out there. So I reviewed tons of information and kept coming back to Mark Sisson. It's helping me out with every question I have, I look on his site. It's been great!
Good luck,

I have tried nearly every weight loss diet out there. I am choosing Paleo because it seems to be more of a lifestyle change than a fad diet. Eating clean foods and cutting out processed garbage is the main thing that attracted my attention. I have many, many pounds to lose and am looking for a support system. My friends are all doing different diets or just restricting calories. My oldest son is a nay-sayer and swears this won't work for me. I look forward to meeting everyone.

I was a hard core paleo maniac living the lifestyle for over three years. I had a major career change and completely lost my mojo. Getting back in slowly...Glad to find this group!
