I've done Paleo when my box has done month long challenges, but have never stuck to it strictly. It's great for getting your numbers down (numbers as in body fat%, blood pressure, weight, etc.), but I found that for me, I don't have nearly enough energy for work and doing 2+ wods/day. There is a Paleo called Paleo for Athletes (http://www.trainingbible.com/pdf/Paleo_for_Athletes_Cliff_Notes.pdf)

I've never tried the true Paleo for athletes. Instead I've just worked on eating pretty clean at least 80% of the time (2-3 cheat meals/wk though I'm trying to get it down to 1). But I have dairy in the form of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt daily to help up my calcium and protein intake. And of course I have to have milk in my latte - though I've tried to limit that to 2-3 times per week. I also incorporate higher glycemic carbs such as sweet potatoes. I do feel a million times better eating clean (which I started toward the end of October) and my body fat has definitely dropped.

The only thing I would change about what I do if I were trying to lean out is eliminate the sweet potatoes - but be aware that it'd leave me super run down for awhile until I readjusted.

been doing it "mostly" for last couple of weeks as i read "the paleo solution" and feel amazing and think i am already even seeing a change. not really missing many things because putting in things that i have avoided for so long because i thought i shouldn't eat them...i.e. bacon! the only hard part for me is alcohol.. i still love my glass of wine!

i've gone paleo since november (from a vegetarian diet for the prior 2 years) and have NEVER felt better!

The main driver to go veggie to paleo was a new found gluten allergy, i finally found out what life was like with out chronic heart burn. Since cutting out grains and focusing on grass fed beef, free-range chicken, organic/cage free eggs, organic veggies, and some fruits I feel amazing. Since January i've focused on the oils side of things and am now tweaking the dairy. I never drank milk but I still enjoy cheese and greek yogurt---i'm just working on moderate intake of these!

I no longer have 2 pm energy slumps, I have PLENTY of energy to get me through my two work outs each day (one during lunch and one after work 3-5 x a week). I also do long runs on Sundays and am perfectly fine doing this while eating paleo. My carbs are between 75-150 g a day just depending on how I feel.

It wasnt my initial intent, but I've lost 8 lbs since going paleo. I do not feel near as bloated and can see more definition than before.

Bottom line: its AWESOME!!!!

I just finished up a 30 day Strict Paleo with my box last week. Before i was eating clean with a Primal slant...so for me it was just a matter of dropping out dairy and a few other little things.

One thing I did do since I am looking to loose weight was really cut my carbs...the first week I was snacking on a lot of fruit so my daily carbs were still above 150 - once I dropped the carbs to about 75 or under a day weight started coming off on a consistant basis...I did one fruit a day and usually it was berries in the evening...

If you go back into my diary 2-3 weeks you can see what I was eating on a daily basis...

Fats were a biggie for me...I use a lot of coconut oil...I don't always track it in MFP...i.e. if I am sauteeing in it I usually don't account for it (I set my calories a bit lower at 1350/day to offset the things I don't keep a close track on...but I would say I probably have an extra 150 calories or so in things like olive and coconut oil that I sautee things in) - the only time i accoutn for it is if it goes into a recipe as in ingrediate or if I fry in it (usually salmon cakes) since that will soak up more and I am using a lot more to fry rather than sautee...

We did a BF analysis before and after...

my stats were

before - 30.04% BF

After - 26.62%

I lost 5 lbs and almost 6 "

when I started I was wearing size 16 pants...now 14's are a little bit large on me...so even though only 5 lbs were lost - big difference in body shape...(I am a short curvy gal from hearty peasent stock )

Now that I am done with strict paleo I plan on continuing - BUT I am adding a small bit of dairy back in - mainly in the form of butter, dark chocolate (hello Trader Joe 72%) some cheese here and there and half and half (during the strict paleo I used lite coconut milk from the can for my coffee - it was ok) - I will say I may go back to a lower carb coffee creamer (like the Naturals Sweet Cream flavor) because I like it and if that is the major "bad" thing i have in my diet I can live with that...

I will say after eating strict for the past month i have no cravings for non-paleo food...I had a piece of cake last night for my husbands birthday because my daughters wanted me to have a piece (and I wanted to show them a healthy diet can include a sweet treat every now and then) - even though it was small about 1/2 hour after I ate it I felt sick to my stomach
...I think mainly because of all the sugar at one time...

Mostly primal here, I choose to keep a small amount of dairy in my diet (some cheese - cottage, and some greek yogurt in my fruit smoothies). I managed to kick the creamer in my morning coffee by swapping with a tsp of coconut oil.

I've been bad lately and it shows - I've allowed pasta and tortilla wraps back in my plan and I've gained 5 pounds. I need to get serious and clean again since I'm not making it to my box as regularly as I did before (they changed the schedule and I lost my morning class)

when I go 100% paleo, I was able to lose 6 pounds in 30 days, and I gained strength (CF Total saw +3 pounds on strict press & +5 lbs on deadlift).

Blood sugar crashes are a thing of a past too.

As far as tips: The biggest thing that has helped us is to plan out dinners and make extra for lunch the following day. Saves us money and the scramble of what to pack/buy for lunch.

I'm not sure how to link you to it but there is a Paleo group as well.
