    I mean, whatever works right? If it works, it works. There are many paths to get to the same end results. However, in the end its all about listening to your body, cutting your calories down, and increasing your exercise... for the rest of your life.

    Most people do it to try to lose weight.

    If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting, right? if you aren't getting the results you want, there's no shame in trying something new..

    I dunno there are fad diets and then there are things that seem like fad diets because you're not paying attention. When you are vigilant about your body you want a certain look and everyone's body is different. Maybe for me that means dairy only every first Sunday of the month and reformer Pilates while counting backwards in Turkish but if I have put in the time to isolate the highly specific results I want it's not a fad diet it's my personalized plan.

    The Paleo was the only "fad" that worked for me and I like it. Whenever I use one of my cheat days like on my period I feel like shit physically afterwards.

    I'm not trying to lose weight. I'm actually trying to gain a little weight with healthy foods.

    I try to eat as healthy as I can & since i'm allergic to dairy I like paleo recipes. It makes it easier for me to eat my meats with veggies. The great part too, the recipe ideas are quick and easy. I'm a picky ass eater too.

    I don't do it strictly though. I still eat some grains, rice and beans...but not as much as before.

    What the fuck is the point of this thread? So people can tell you why they do it and you can tell them they're wrong? I don't get it.

    If you want to get technical for me the Paleo isn't a fad, its a way of life. I've had to change my whole outlook and lifestyle. No grains, dairy, legumes etc. It's hard. I've stuck with it for 6 months now.
