Just a different way to skin a cat.
Continue eating the way you do but clean it up somewhat. Eat smaller amounts of the same stuff you like. No point in doing a drastic change in diet. They all do the same thing - reduce your calories to a point where you are losing weight - when you stop losing weight reduce more or increase training to burn off more.

Its a cult.

You will end like DJ181

it's pretty much a keto diet isn't it?
works but wouldn't want to stay on it for long. but good for dieting down fast.
and don't lift too heavy on low carbs. your muscles are depleted and drier.

Eat whatever you feel like and exercise a couple of times a week (powerwalk, run, sports). As you said, you just want to look good in a t-shirt, which any skinny fat slob can who trains arms and shoulders every now and then. Give up paleo, I can already sense in your OP that you barely have the will power to lose a single kg. >:(

Mike, a few years back, you dropped the extra weight and you were fit looking...
Do what you did then. I see some good in Paleo, but I like the Mediterranian diet type of eating...

Mostly, I just dropped all wheat-based carbs and sugar and doubled my protein intake from high-quality sources, stopped all snacking and got rid of all processed foods. Cut way down on drinking to a glass of wine a week.
It's almost impossible not to lose weight if you do that,

Thats the EXACT same thing i`ve done since christmas,had a rash on both arms and legs and after having the book Grain Brain bought for me as a christmas present,i cut out as much wheat based foods as possible.Rash went within 2 weeks,stomach went from looking swollen to flat,,and cutting out as much sugar foods has had fat dropping off me like crazy.My diet is more like the 70s bodybuilders did,and what i started doing when i started training in 1979,no more low fat high carbs for me,now its low carbs (not zero carbs) high protein high fat.

I do a paleo diet now with about 100g carbs supplemented from sweet potatoes and rice. Best I've ever felt before. I will do this for the rest of my life.

Watered-down keto diet for pussies.
Either go extreme low carb or use them like everyone else and work harder in the gym.

Paleo is the healthiest diet I've discovered that still allows me to continue making bodybuilding progress.

Here's a few days worth of food for me Wolfie.

Tried that the body is not reacting the same as it did 7 yrs ago. There were a lot of other factors in play back then that there is not now. I'm not on all the good stuff I was back then and I do not want to use any fat burners etc etc. Going to do this all with food and hard work this time around.
I'm 39 retired from the sport, I'm now running my own gym now. I'm coaching and training others now and I just want to be in shape now. No more need for being a monster. A guy at work dropped a 100 pounds eating paleo never really looked into it til now. but he is one of those crossfitters which I absolutely refuse to go down that path!!!!

While the reasoning behind paleo isn't terribly consistent (no potatoes? Wtf) avoiding grains, dairy, and processed foods can only help.
Meat, eggs, vegetables, and some fruit/potatoes/rice is a very good approach for anyone
-
I like it. It's a cheaper way to eat, makes me feel better, etc. However, you spend a lot more time trying to plan meals. Overall, an "easy everyday cook." :D

The Perfect Health Diet (http://perfecthealthdiet.com/the-diet/) and Chris Kresser's Diet (https://chriskresser.com/) are both modified forms of Peleo/Keto Diet
Both allow starches such as sweet potatoes, white rice and other starches that don't contain gluten
The main emphasis is avoiding industrial seed oils, flour, grains, legumes etc..
Their diets are a bit low in protein for most people who lift or workout but basically I think they are very workable diets
They both recommend fats to be ~ 40-50% (or more) of the diet and saturated fat is just fine and in fact is preferred

IMO, this is the most important book written in the last 20 years.
If the typical overweight American were to follow the principles in this book, the obesity epidemic in this country could be ended.

Thanks all! I think I'm going to give it a run and see how it goes for a couple weeks. If I see and feel a difference I will stick with it. I will post results soon.
