Anyone ever tempted to jump aboard the paleo bandwagon? I've been researching, but am not quite convinced..

I would actually quite like to give it a shot. I do believe that it's probably a much healthier lifestyle but it's also quite a lot more expensive and that's a huge barrier for me.

That's what grabbed me too ... I love Atkins, but I feel paleo has a healthier take ... Might give it a go, Atkins style maybe try to get more good fats and cut out the dairy.

I've been dappling in Paleo the past few months and feel amazing, but I think my carbs are a little high. Paleo isn't necessarily low carb if you don't want it to be. Some people eat yams, fruit and squash all day, lose weight, and feel amazing. Some other people do an Atkins-type Paleo and really keep the carbs low, and it really depends on the person's metabolic needs whether they are low carb or not. Paleo is really about understanding that we have a certain biochemistry as humans and how conventionally-raised meats have an inflammation factor because all they eat are carbs (corn, soy, gum wrappers [not joking], etc). Paleo is very science-based and has helped a ton of ailments (MS, PCOS, IBS)... I'd definitely start listening to these podcasts, since they explain the science in lay terms: The Paleo Solution, Latest in Paleo, Underground Wellness, Balanced Bites

Thank you so much! Also, your pic ... You look amazing!

You've convinced me to order the book "paleo solution" and I'm pretty excited! I read up on it and definitely am convinced about the reasoning for cutting the wheat, etc. I plan on starting today from what I understand and moreso after I read the book and listen to podcasts! Thanks again
