Paleo Diet

That looks god damn delicious!

Also, on a side note, there is absolutely nothing in grains/dairy that cannot be gotten from fruits/veggies/lean grass-fed and wild caught meat.

not a lot of studies that i know of, but the crossfit i work at definitely suggests this diet. all i have to vouch for it is my experiences and those reported by clients. which have continued to be positive.
they have all reported having more energy throughout the day, quicker recovery times and favorable body re-composition.
personally i am strict on the general things and much looser on specifics. for example, i know people that will only touch grass fed/ free range type meat. i have found the general guidelines of the diet to be very practical, i dont have a lot of kitchen access, so i eat on the go a lot, if i stick to meat and veggies with some fruit (which you can get most places) i feel like i get most of the benefits of the paleo diet. of course when i can i like to cook for myself.
oh, i try to "zone it" as much as i can as well.

I basically started the diet for those reasons. More energy, faster recovery time, and over all better health. I'm 5"8 and only 155 lbs so it clearly was not for weight loss. I figured it had to be better for me than all the processed foods I was eating and so far the results are all positive

I've been on the Paleo for about 4 - 5 months and love it.

I only ear peanuts... and corn... those both can be eaten raw, so I didn't cut them out.

My wife and I a seriously considering trying a diet like this. Can anyone pm some more info? We are interested in a modified version.

Is Almond milk not allowed? It's not really milk.

U can eat nuts, not legumes. Just Google it. There are recipes all over the interwebs.

Almond Milk is great, but avoid Soya. Almond and Coconut are the ones :)

I picked up the book "The 4-Hour body" this morning. We shall see what happens.

Don't forget hemp milk too, but I have to say that Whole Foods organic almond milk is the tastiest nut milk ever.

Mike, enjoy the book, it's great shit and I think Tim will be on Joe's podcast sometime this year so maybe he'll get some extra info out of him :)
