Primal Or Paleo



Recommended Posts

Yeah it's basically a stricter low carb, no dairy. I have a very similar eating style because I don't do wheat any more. I believe I have a wheat sensitivity. But I am hesitant to give up dairy, because I love my cheese and I think my Protein Shakes I love have milk in them. Who knows though, I may try it cause I wonder sometimes if the cheese isn't what stalls me.

P.S. Isn't that what Marks Daily Apple is? Paleo or Primal? I subscribed on this website the other day and got some free cookbooks and basics, and a couple other things. Just google Marks Daily Apple if you're interested. I love the recipes for things like Fat Guacamole Devils, which is deviled eggs with avocado and lime juice and hot sauce in it. Yummy! I love to keep these and regular deviled eggs fixed up in the fridge for quick grab Snacks.< /p>

If your into ancestral eating styles, this site will be interesting to you.

I am neolithic all the way... so palio won't work for me...however there is one guy mentioned who is a paleo vegetarian...very limited food options though...

Paleo is a style of eating like our ancestors did before they developed agriculture...while they were hunter gatherers.

Oh god, everyone at my Crossfit gym is obsessed with paleo. I like food too much! I eat dairy every day, usually Greek yogurt, and I like lattes. No way I'd do paleo for any extended length of time. Don't get me wrong, the people who stick to it look amazing, but for me, losing another 5 lbs is just not worth the deprivation.

Paleo isn't raw meat. It is suggested that you don't cook beef past medium though in order to retain nutrients AND to ease digestion. Red meat is harder to digest the longer its cooked.

I in fact lived a very Paleo lifestyle before I got sick (completely not related, I have a genetic disorder that didn't rear its ugly head til 30)

I'm actually working my way there now. Really, the only difference between Paleo and Vegan is that you eat meat. Instead of just being a gatherer, you have a hunter/gatherer existence. Its meats (including fish) vegetables, fruit, root tubers, and nuts. Many people have added legumes, I have because of my allergy to nuts, as well as adding some cheese (only natural) because again, i have some food allergies.

A raw food diet, is completely different. Eating food in the natural form it comes in is a GREAT way to live. HOWEVER, you have to have access to meat that is SAFE to eat raw. I would never eat any meat out of a grocery store raw. Wild game harvested myself? You bet. Done that and will do it again. Tastes fabulous.

My limited understanding is there are different approaches to Paleo.. some of them are all raw.

You absolutely can do a paleo diet in the raw. Its a choice though and it doesn't have anything to do with the paleo theory. Some do it though! I honestly wouldn't if I couldn't harvest my own meat.

Anyone interested should watch this video. This woman actually cured herself of MS by eating a paleo diet modified to take in the maximum amounts nutrients. I truly believe that Our modern high carb low fat diet is what is killng our society. I am currently doing. High fat low carb diet and I have had very, very little hunger (which had actually been a problem for me since being sleeved), and my weight loss has been great!

If you're interested, also check out the documentary "Fathead". It's basically Gary Taubes' "Good Calories, Bad Calories" in a nutshell.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
