My daughter and her husband found out about the Paleo lifestyle from going to Crossfit. My daughter needed to loose weight after having their second child. My daughter is now back to her high school weight when she was heavily involved in sports.
So, I had to try it. I have already lost almost 10 lbs. My Dr. says one pound a week is all she wants me to loose. It is a combination of diet and lots of exercise, especially weight training. I now work out 7 days a week for at least 45 minutes. The Paleo diet is based on our Paleolithic ancestors. Here is a great paper from Professor Loren Cordain exploring how to build a modern Paleo diet: The nutritional characteristics of a contemporary diet based upon Paleolithic food groups . This paper also offers significant insight as to the amounts and ratios of protein, carbohydrate and fat in the ancestral diet.
Also, a good resource is http://robbwolf.com/what-is-the-paleo-diet/
It has worked for me.

I have a very simple, straightforward weight loss approach that works for me and is gradual in nature.

To your dieting success!

type of food "addiction". Unfortunately while the surgery works
to permit weight loss initially, it will be difficult to maintain the
weight loss or stick to the post-surgery food limits of amount and
type if the food issues have not been grappled with successfully.
Some people find Overeaters Anonymous meetings, either in
person or by phone, can work for them to help sustain the initial
loss.View Thread

I don't use white flour for anything, period. I have a grain grinder and grind our own flour. I use a variety of grains we use, wheat, oats, barley, spelt, and now have added quiona to the list. I grind what I need just before using it.
I also do not use artificial sweeteners. They are not heart healthy! I was using sucanat, and have now discovered Coconut Sugar! It is wonderful and only raises my husband's blood sugars a maximum of 25 points over a 2 hour period. Stevia is another good one, not Truvea, Stevia leaves, the herb itself, not the artificial product disguised as a healthy product. My husband just happens to not like the taste of stevia. However, I am growing some to see if the fresh picked, freslhy dried leaves make a difference for him. If so, stevia will take over in place of Coconut sugar. Herbs are always our friend!
I make cookies and add healthy ingredients as I remove the white flour, and sugar. I use coconut oil for the shortening as well. This all adds up to a bonus with weight loss and blood sugar control.View Thread
I am currently 19, 6ft tall, and 2.5 weeks ago, I was 207 (the highest it go).
I started on a vegetarian diet with occasional very very small amounts of tuna and very very rare amount of red meet (once a week). I do fast walk for 7 miles a day (1hr 45 mins). I eat around 500 calories a day.
As of now, 2.5 weeks later, I am at 188. My goal is to get to 160lbs by start of June. That is my "normal" weight and I miss my body from 3 years ago.
I have done 3 weeks worth of intense research on dieting. That is why I try to eat small but frequent amounts a day to reduce my body from going into starvation. I do fast walking as well for metabolism reasons as well.
When I get to 160, I will start eating more and continue to have a healthy lifestyle. I know for the next 40 days or so my habit will not be so healthy, but my main and only concern is to get to 160 pounds by start of June. (More personal determination goal than anything else)
Any suggest in terms of eating or working out plan will be greatly appreciated. I do not intend to increase the amount of calorie I eat daily unless it will help me lose MORE right away.
I have done soooo much research so I know pretty much all the basic knowledge you can find online. I guess I am looking for more personal experiences and advices outside the book that worked really well for certain people.
Thank you all for your help in advance!!View Thread
