    Default Paleo Diet

    I did a search on this but didn't find too much info.

    Has anyone tried this or another grain free diet? What was your experience?

    I wouldn't be doing it to lose weight but for the potential health benefits. I'm realizing grains do not sit so well with me and I probably could do without them. I'd most likely keep some goat dairy though.

    TIA.

    I did this before. I don't necessarily avoid grains now but I don't remember the last time I had them.

    I don't experience body aches/inflammation. Inflammation for me is usually in the form of zits. I used to get lots of body aches from what I do for work now (full time group fitness instructor).

    You might want to search under "anti-inflammatory diet" and "gluten-free diet." There's a magazine called "Gluten Free Living" or something along those lines too.

    The is a book called "The Maker's Diet", it explains it.

    Try this website... http://www.mercola.com/ ...he is a heavy advocate of avoiding all grains, sugars (no cane sugars, limiting fruit sugars)

    Ironically, when I was into this shit I weighed 20 lbs more than I do now, but most of that was from training. I had giant cycling legs---bleh!

    But I felt really good. I had a friend who tried it for IBS and it helped her.

    my mom tried the maker's diet but she said she gained weight too.. not alot of weight but it thickened her up.. she also, though, eats ALOT so i bet if portions were in control you wouldn't gain the weight.. as for meat and dairy aside from being organic ect.. its full FAT dairy.. dairy is like wheat.. the more you process it the less your body recognizes it .. full fat.. like heavy cream is the easiest recognized by your body.. and the less pasteurized.. the ultra pasteruized bad bad.. according to that book anyways.. i really think though more than the diet itself is how you do it.. keep portions small and dont starve binge.. it should work..

    Try getting any of Oz Garcias books, The Balance, The High Tech Body have really good info about Paleotech diet. I found it a really clean way of eating.

    Hope this helps xxxx
