Paleo is brutal.Gonna give paleo a try for a month, just started today actually.
We had friends over last weekend and they've switched to it and are seeing good benefits. I'm looking to lose 15-20lbs. Will put me around 190-195
Can't do too much strength training atm, I apparently need shoulder surgery for a torn labrum
You are confusing Paleo with Ketogenic.Paleo is brutal.
I have to have carbs in my diet, period. Can't live without them. Fat just doesn't fill me up the same way as carbs do, despite being higher in calories.
? I'm not. Relying on mostly fat, protein and hardly any carbs (Paleo) is a tough diet. Keto is borderline pointless for most people.You are confusing Paleo with Ketogenic.
I don't see Paleo as carb restricted - just mostly non fucked about with carbs.? I'm not. Relying on mostly fat, protein and hardly any carbs (Paleo) is a tough diet. Keto is borderline pointless for most people.
Protein > Fat > Carbs. So I'd day that they are restricted, as that's the whole idea of the diet.I don't see Paleo as carb restricted - just mostly non fucked about with carbs.
Each to their own though
Again, not how I see it (or Wikipedia) but whatever...Protein > Fat > Carbs. So I'd day that they are restricted, as that's the whole idea of the diet.
Bud, it's mainly meat, nuts and veg.Again, not how I see it (or Wikipedia) but whatever...
The Paleolithic diet (also called the paleo diet, caveman diet or stone-age diet[1]) is based mainly on foods presumed to have been available to Paleolithic humans.[2] Wide variability exists in the way the diet is interpreted.[3] However, the diet typically includes vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, meat, and organ meats[2] while excluding foods such as dairy products, grains, sugar, legumes, processed oils, salt, and alcohol or coffee.[1]The diet is based on avoiding not just modern processed foods, but rather the foods that humans began eating after the Neolithic Revolution...
No, Nuts are fats. Veggies are literally without calories. Broccoli? You could eat a BAG of the stuff and maybe it's 100/200cals.Nuts and veg are carbs!!
Fruit is VERY limited on Paleo (think Berries).Again you are confusing carbs here with calories.
Carrots are relatively high in carbs but not overly calorific.
Bananas can multiply their sugar content by up to 5 times as they ripen, hence being more calorific and definitely not keto but are Paleo.
Anyway, it's bedtime for me. Let's agree to differ.
I'm ripped to fuck
How hard did you find it being a big guy and eating a lot of carbs, to not eating a lot of carbs but still being a big guy in the process of losing weight?I have been on a so-called paleo diet for three years. I follow it very closely and usually just eat chicken and organ meats with raw vegetables. I don't eat fruit at all due to the sugar in it.
I used to weigh 322 lbs and I've been as low as 170 but usually am around 185.
It's totally changed my life as you can tell. I don't really say I'm on a paleo diet, I say that I eat clean.
I don't have many photos of myself at my heaviest because I didn't like people takings pics of me.
This is me now.
Honestly, I didn't notice at all since I was on the verge of getting really ill so I didn't let anything get in my way of success. I had that moment where I woke up one morning and just had enough.How hard did you find it being a big guy and eating a lot of carbs, to not eating a lot of carbs but still being a big guy in the process of losing weight?
I have to have carbs. Going without them is brutal for me. And I find that I don't respond well to using Fat as fuel, even when my intake is high.
Paleo is unprocessed food, all macros included- anything available to a PALEOlithic human, which included anything that grows (veggies/carbs) and doesn't need to be milled or processed to be edible (breads).No, Nuts are fats. Veggies are literally without calories. Broccoli? You could eat a BAG of the stuff and maybe it's 100/200cals.
Fruit? Carbs. Can be high in calories (Banana, for example). Veg? Unless it's Potatoes, then they're calorie dense. Hence why people say you can eat an unlimited amount and not gain weight.
Foods that are Carbs that are off-limits on Paleo (that I was talking about).. Oats, Honey, Bread etc.
Jesus, why would anyone want to live in Barrow?tried the eskimo diet: muktuk(whale blubber), unalik(whale blubber/meat in fermented whale blood), tutu(caribou), whitefish and the occasional moose from someone down south-- with the occasional treat at Arctic Pizza. Seems like the owners (from Northern India of all places) put vindaloo seasoning in the pizza sauce I think. Washed it down with some R&R whiskey when I had the dough. My conclusion: Not good for maintaining 6-pack. Good for keeping warm in Barrow, Alaska though.
I've never been a big guy, always been a gym rat, but when I cut out most of the carbs & went on a diet of basically meat & veggies a few years ago I could've used an anti depressant or something for a few weeks. I was not a pleasant person to be around. Had basically eaten the standard bodybuilding diet before that, just had to accept that I wasn't going to get much bigger without vitamins S & T no matter what mass building diet or lifting program I triedHonestly, I didn't notice at all since I was on the verge of getting really ill so I didn't let anything get in my way of success. I had that moment where I woke up one morning and just had enough.
