Is anyone here doing the Paleo Diet?
how is it going? are you exercisizing primally too?
I'm trying to do it but I end up messing it up. But I keep trying. When I was able to stick to the diet/lifestyle for a week, I lost 4 lbs! Looking to get back on track with it.
Paleo diet/lifestyle is my fave, it really makes sense to me, to eat like cavemen used to eat. (so much healthier then today's foods that we eat!)

Hi!
i'm new on Fit day. I found the book Primal Blueprint linked on Weston Price so I started reading the www Marks daily apple. alot of the information makes sense to me, since i feel really bloated if i eat grains. I tried soaking the flour as they said on Weston Price and Nourishing traditions by sally fallon. but i felt better then before but still bloated little.
i order the book but it hasnt come yet. i have alot of questions. can anyone answer them?
i'm a 5'4 woman 233lbs out of shape and never been skinny in my life. can this diet work for me?
do you have to cut out these things for all the life? or can you add some back in after you lose the weight?
if i cut m carbs down to 100g a day is this enough to lose weigh? i tried going to what atkins said 20g i couldn't do it, even taking out bread and pasta.
if i occasionally have some mashed potatoes or a slice of bread, let's weekly or every 2 weeks will this make it hard to lose weight? reverse all i did the week before?
i really want to try this lifestyle out but i know myself i can't do it cold turkey. i tried with all my might, i abstained then one day i failed and binged eating a whole pan of brownies.
i changed my habits from eating out alot fast food to now trying to learn to cook at home. i eat salad at lunch and dinner. i thought not eatin fast food but follwing clean eating diet would be enough. but in 6months i only lost 10lbs. i need help!

I have a question.
Tandouri chicken in your sigge it says eat less vegetable oils ... does olive oil count in this too? As I have started transitioning to a Primal diet, I have switched to only butter, animal fat and olive oil; No coconut oil where I live so I can't use it. And not willing to buy anything online right now.

I've become very interested in incorporating some Paleo into my diet . . . looking for the elusive site in the web-stack is frustrating . . . does anyone have any links they can recommend to get some good guidelines/recipies/menu plans?
Very grateful for any help in pointing me in the right direction!

Here are several links for paleo.
Everyday Paleo
Paleo Diet Lifestyle | paleo diet tips and recipes
Robb Wolf | The Paleo Solution book and podcast | Paleolithic nutrition, intermittent fasting, and fitness
Also olive oil is good, stay away from vegetable oil. It is full of the bad kind of fat. Olive oil is full of the good kind of fat.

I've been lifting heavy things for about 3 years now but I just got into running and I'm training for a 10K. There's an evolutionary basis for this.... look up persistence hunting.
Good luck!

Based on all the research I've read over the last few years, my own conclusion is that you can lose weight and improve some health markers (depending on your own body chemistry and genetics) by sticking primarily to either fat or carbs as your main fuel source. People start running into trouble when they start consuming both fat and carbs in quantity. IMHO, high fat is preferable to high carb because of the amount of control it gives you over your blood glucose level, which can be extremely toxic when high.
