Paleo Diet

[RRLOVER]

Is anyone on here eating this way?? I have been doing it for 8 weeks now with some great results.

I have been following Paleo diet for about 3 months now, about 85% of the time. If you combine Paleo with exercising, particularly Crossfit, you can get results really fast.

No grains or tubers.

No grains, no starches, no dairy, no processed sugars, no whiskey, no women, no nothing.
Did I mention, no tobacco?

The idea is to eat what paleolithic humans would have eaten as hunter-gatherers because the human body is still essentially as it was then and therefore is best adapted to such a diet. The intended end result is better health, of which getting to a good weight/shape is just part of it.

I'm incorporating paleo principles, but man, rice and noodles are gonna be impossible for me to give up. So my diet is now headed towards more meat, more veggies, less starches, smaller portions overall, miss a meal every now and then. I'm now eating the same rice portions as my mom and fiancee (sometimes less), both of whom are small asian ladies.

LOL @ no women.

Is the no alcohol thing only the first 30 days, or for the entire duration?

And, no legumes and no salt.

That is nearly my entire diet, what can you eat?
