Paleo? Anybody out there doing it?

[msmia]

Eating Paleo (like our Paleolithic ancestors) is a type of low carb diet... You only eat meat, veggies & fruit. No processed anything, no sugars, no flours/grains, no dairy.

I've been doing Paleo for about 4 months... just wondering if anyone else is a fan of Paleo and if you have any favorite recipes/ideas for keeping it up?!

Let's see what'cha got!

Oh boy!

I almost eat like that, but I would not call it a diet! I have never in my life believed in diets!

I eat lots of protein -- meats, eggs, cheese, whatever. I do NOT believe in low-fat anything, but I do not mean going overboard and scoffing fats! I use butter and cream in cooking. I only cut the really extra fats off red meats. I would not eat chicken without its skin, which has all the flavour!

Four years ago I lost 17 kg in a very short time (maybe 6 weeks) by eating a little less, and eating lots of protein, veggies (no fruits due to the sugar content). and having my normal (3 glasses) ration of dry wine at dinner every night.

I confess that losing that much so quickly was NOT a good idea. It affected my good skin!

But I have never gained back anything -- maybe a kilo -- then lost it again.

Best is, I never go hungry, and I can still enjoy my wine! Maybe the Paleo people also made some fermented drink!

(17 kg equals about 36/37 lbs)

I'm due for normal blood work, which last time was just fine, including the cholesterol count and triglycyrides (SP??). If it's out of whack now I'll report back.[/i]
