Paleo diet?

[Irongrip400]

Anyone have any experience with it?  My girl is trying it for 30 days and wants me to join with her, and I do need a shot in the arm as far as diet goes, mine is horrible.

Never heard of it....Please explain?

May be something we are familiar with but under a different name.

Something like no sugar no grains and no dairy. Some sort of foreging diet. My girl is doing it, and I need a change.

[littleguns]

no offense but it sounds like you need to do a little more homework on what it is....

Yeah, that's why I am asking in the nutrition forum, to do research.

I looked it up and I think the diet pretty much revolves around foods that were available to cavemen..lol. Eliminates processed foods and all the other garbage we put in our bodies today so it seems like a good eating plan over all.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter which diet you choose to go on to loose weight as long as calories out is more than calories in. The typical boring bbing diet is probably the best way to accomplish this imo and this doesn't seem to far off from the foods we eat. Just don't over do it on the quantities and you should be good to go.

Yes, I've also heard this called "the caveman diet," and the concept is just what you described. You may find favorable results from simply replacing certain food sources for others without reducing total calories. Of course, calorie reduction can only help in losing unwanted body weight - even reducing "good" foods.

I'm not usually a sucker for something new, as a matter of fact I've never really "dieted", but this is really making me feel good. Five dayys into it and I feel good.

I dont so much believe in the diet but tell over weight people to think more in terms of what they would have been able to eat 10,000 years ago in the wild. I don't even so much think natural foods are that superior but its a great way to get people to lower calories.

Your girl seems like someone who is too shy to commit to anything.  30 day diet?  really?
best you move on to someone who can stick with something longer than 30 days.

I tried it for health/wellbeing and i liked it, i love meats, fish and fruit. They only thing i missed was some rice pre workout.
I leaned out and felt quite good. At first the energy levels where a little rollercoaster, i i def felt the fruit highs and crashes.
I stopped doing it because i got lean enough and looked a little too flat (i have a fast metabolism) which i can't afford in my small frame.

the guy comes on here to get advice on a diet and you tell him to dump his girl

It's a good diet, eating everything that is natural from the earth.  The focus meats, fresh vegetables etc...  Similar diets have been around a long time.  Crossfit seems to push/recommend the Paleo Diet.
