Hi All,
apologies for the 2 posts in the same morning!
I've been trying out this paleo thing since reading so much about it on here... i've also been reading loads over on marks daily apple. Anyway, I've been trying it for about 3 or 4 weeks now... sticking too it pretty well, apart from a week or so of getting carried away on the dark chocolate...
I'm noticing more and more that I just dont feel healthy on this diet. the weight is coming off very very slowly - much slower than I thought it would given the massive reduction in carbs. I'm also noticing that I feel very very bunged up (if you know what i mean!). Has anyone else felt this? The fact that some of the world oldest civilizations (I'm thinking IVC here) had simple, mostly vegetarian diets also ring a bit of an alarm bell with me. I do fully understand the fat-burning animal model, vs the carb burning animal model... but if this were all there was, why would some of the worlds most enlightened folk eat veggies and rice?
thoughts greatly welcomed... I to find a realistic eating pattern, to combine with general conscious eating.... my 227 pounds is not doing me any good at all!
Thanks
Adam
