I am doing the paleo diet now. I did research and the principles behind the diet are sound in my opinion.

The only non-Paleo item I'm currently including in my diet is milk and that's only because I can't stand Protein shakes that aren't at least half milk..:manny:

You Will Lose Weight Really Fast If You're Disciplined Enough To Stick With It

When I First Decided To Lose Weight I Tried The Paleo shyt And I Lost 25lbs In A fukking Month :laugh: Crazy shyt

Now Mind You, That 1st Month Was Like The Introductory Phase And All I Was Eating Thru The Day Was fukking Fruit And Nuts Then A Nice Regular Dinner In The Evening, Usually Baked Chicken And Brown Rice. I Also Drank A shyt Ton Of Water Every Day And Went On Hour Long Walks.

If Anything I Look Back On It Like It Was Just A Cleansing That Gave Me A Jumpstart To Weight Loss, But I Couldn't See Myself Maintaining That Paelo shyt And Keeping My Sanity

After That Month Of Eating Paleo I Started Eating Regular, Just Healthier, And Following Basic Calories In-Calories Out Way Of Eating.

Thankfully I Didn't Gain Any Weight Back

basically this

by eliminating carbs almost altogether the overall cals you end up eating is generally low, so you maintain a pretty high deficit if you stick to it, but carbs are necessary for your brain...which is when this starts to go downhill

imo 5-6 days on, 1 day carb up :ehh:

Have you opted to use coconut milk for your protein shakes instead? I like the way it tastes so much better than using cow milk. Hit up a few paleo recipe blogs too so that you dont get bored. I like PaleOMG - Paleo Recipes

Oh, and get ready for your grocery bill to go up.

I had a friend who tried it. She lost a lot of weight in the first month (similar to the story above). I thought about doing it, but I couldn't give up some of the foods they had on the list like beans. I do go by some of the principles though such as no dairy, no sugar, or processed/pre-packed foods.

personally not a fan. its too restrictive, even on where you get protein from (no dairy, nuts, legumes). and it makes it seem like carbs are bad for you

also i think eating 'clean' all the time is overrated

its all about tracking calories/protein. you can eat ice cream everyday and get ripped, if it fits your macros. i'd much rather do that, then frivolously cut out foods & be miserable

Eliminating carbs from my diets makes me weak. How you guys lift without carbs in your system?

You need to educate yourself because you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about...:snoop:

If you want to develop an understanding of why it absolutely matters what you eat, I suggest you read up on insulin resistance....

Just started it today. Had two apples, an orange and some almonds for lunch. I'm not hungry at the moment. Hopefully I won't feel tired when I go for a run this afternoon. Not having any potatoes is gonna hurt though

different goals, i guess?

i'll say this, when i did the paleo diet, i never felt better. and theres additional benefits like your skin clears up and you feel lighter.

but damn if you just wanna get in shape, its so much easier to just cut calories & lift. theres barely any thought/hassles involved.
