long term effects of paleo diet

I pie. :drinker:

I have been paleo/primal for over a year now, but I eat limited dairy, occasionally I will eat grains (gluten free and limited to ingredients usually) but very limited. I am not sure how it would not work for someone.... it is really the healthiest way of life. It can be difficult in our society to be strictly primal without dairy and grains ever, but can certainly be done. I think it really depends on each person whether it is a sustainable way of life as many are not willing to make that commitment, especially in social arrangements. It is not the end of the world though to have something here and there tho lol. I definitely suggest it to anyone who is willing to do it. By going primal, I learned that I had a gluten intolerance which had been holding me back for so long and I had no idea! So I am very happy I did it. And have stuck with it since, but like I said I do have dairy sometimes and I will have gluten free grains once in a while. The more primal I am though the better I feel and the leaner I am... I would think this would really go for pretty much anyone. If you haven't yet, look at marksdailyapple.com and sign up for his emails - youll get a few free ebooks thatll provide a lot of valuable info IMO. I think its all about lifestyle as well as diet though, and it all makes perfect sense to me after I read the ebook introduction to the primal blueprint....I can't imagine going back to the way I used to live, overworking myself and never seeing results. Also body by science is a great resource --- see the videos they have on youtube. I learned quite a bit through those alone. Really can help you realize how important recovery is and other lifestyle choices as well as diet.

I do want to note though that if you follow through with primal and try to go back to eating gluten containing grains, I am not sure how well you will do.... We are all supposedly gluten intolerant to different levels, but when your body isnt used to having it in the system, it is likely to react worse and worse I am glad I found out but it definitely does suck having to be so difficult with eating out and always worrying about contamination, especially as far as vacationing goes. And is not fun when you get sick all the time if you get contaminated (went on a cruise and was feeling like crap almost the whole time bc of the contamination even though the things were supposed to be GF). So it is not something to take lightly...

No. Never heard of this, but after researching it, I find myself interested.

so far no one has tried it who didnt like it? and not many long-term practitioners on here? im asking here because if i go to a specific "paleo" website, of course its going to be full of people who love it. but here there is more of a general community in the message boards so i wanted to see how many people a, could or couldnt keep it up long term or 2, did it and just didnt like it.

There were more people that said they didi't like vs they liked it. What thread were you reading?

p.s. if you start a debate on here or reply with anything besides what i asked i will report you immediatly

lol, "I CONTROL THE INTERNET!!!" :huh:

Damn, I am glad that I finally found you. since you CONTROL THE INTERNET, can you please make it so I can see the boobie pictures at work? Please, and thank you!

One of your first responders did it and didn't like it, but has friends that were on the diet and do like it.
