Is anyone here on Paleo Diet? I 'm just curious to know if it works?

Question

And for how long you've been having it. What's the results?

PS. What i want is some feedback if you've had this diet.

Answer 1

I started the Paleo diet on Monday and so far so good. The 1st week you get 3 open meals so it has not been as hard as other diets. I have lost 6 lbs already. The book said that you would loose approx that much the 1st week and it is mainly water weight. I have been feeling better energywise, etc. No salt has been really hard on me, but I can get past it.

Answer 2

You are going to get answers of all kinds and everyone is going to think that they're right because they may have taken a few nutrition classes, they read some book, or they have had a relative to got sick from meat or the veg diet. I became a vegetarian when I was 9, 17 years ago,and became when I was 19, 7 years ago. I did it first because I love animals, then it became a normal notion for me. The idea of me actually consuming meat was so odd to me. Then I did it for health reasons. Through a lot of trial and error, I've learned how to maintain a healthy diet of beans, nuts, grains, fruits, and veggies. That's all. No dairy, no eggs, no animal products of any kind. It works for me. Vegan protein are protein packed veggies (kale, collard greens, spinach), beans, nuts, and grains with protein. You really don't need that much protein in your diet, you need some, but you don't need to eat a piece of dead animal or a pound of black beans every day. B12 only comes from meat because the animals eat grass. If you grow organically, you can get B12 from unwashed veggies, but because of the high cholesterol in meats, meat eaters don't absorb the vitamin as they should. If anyone has ever said anything negative about you getting on, or being on supplaments, you need to tell them the truth. Everyone needs to take their vitamins because no one gets the proper amount everyday, as they should. It all depends on how you feel when you eat meat,and when you don't. Do what you want. Try the complete vegan diet, if it works for you, then do it. Good luck!

Answer 4

The Paleolithic diet, also known as the caveman diet, paleodiet, Stone Age diet, the preagricultural diet, or hunter-gatherer diet, is the diet of wild plants and animals that various human species (see Homo (genus)) habitually consumed during the Paleolithic period (the Old Stone Age), a period of about 2 million years duration, ending about 10,000 years ago, when our species, Homo sapiens, invented agriculture. The designation also applies to contemporary diets that resemble that preagricultural human diet in the plant and animal sources of food recommended for consumption and avoidance, though usually from domesticated sources.

Those who advocate that contemporary humans should regularly consume a Paleolithic diet base their advocacy on the premise that natural selection had 2 million or more years to genetically adapt the metabolism and physiology of the various human species to such a diet, and that in the 10,000 years since the invention of agriculture and its consequent major change in the human diet, natural selection has had too little time to make the optimal genetic adaptations to the new diet. According to those advocates, physiological and metabolic maladaptations result from those suboptimal genetic adaptations, which in turn contribute to many of the so-called diseases of civilization.[1]

Those considerations give rise to a simple theme for adhering to a Paleolithic-type diet in modern times: if a food item resembles one that can be found in the wild, obtained with bare hands or simple tools, and ingested immediately without cooking, processing, and by simple preparation (i.e., peeling, cracking, washing, etc.), and cause the consumer no ill effects either during or after consumption, then it can be considered edible, and therefore permissible to eat. Any food meeting this standard can then be cooked and prepared by the simplest means as practical and consumed in modest quantities. Food exclusions comprise those introduced in the human food supply late in the course of human evolution, in particular after the invention of agriculture about 10,000 years ago: cereal grains, legumes and dairy products..[2]

Answer 5

Sounds like a good diet. Eating meat vegetables and fruit only would make anyone lose weight. Processed food is bad for us.
Sounds like a very healthy diet.
