Well done! Glad it works for you!
I've noticed my pain is less on days where I avoid refined carbohydrates.1 -
What do you eat in a typical paleo meal? How many ounces of meat/chicken? How many cups of fruits or vegs? Just curious as to what a paleo day looks like meal wise. Thanks!0

So far today: for breakfast I had 2 pieces of bacon, 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 smallish banana. Snack of 1 apple. Lunch of 2 cups chopped kale, 1 TBLS dried unsweetened cranberries and 1 TBLS pumpkin seeds, 6 oz shredded chicken breast with vinegar and 1tsp oil as dressing. Haven't eaten dinner yet but planning on 2 cups spaghetti squash, .5 cups homemade Marinara sauce, 5 or 6 oz extra lean ground chicken or turkey breast, spinach and tomato salad with 1/3 avocado and a cup of raw pineapple for dessert. If I'm still hungry I'll have 10 or 15 almonds as a snack. That all comes in around 1300 calories with the almonds. Hope this helps.

I also drink a lot of water. 2 to 3 liters of water minimum per day.1

Every time I have tried the really low calorie approach, I have found it unsustainable and end up gaining it al back plus more. I keep upping my calories and I'm still losing. I'm currently at 1800 and eat back my exercise calories, too. But I'm pescatarian, and as such, don't eat a lot of fast food anymore, which I was doing in the past, so that is probably helping me quite a bit.1

I love you.0
