Paleo Living and Grains
- Thread starter SUP3RNOVA
- Start date
Effective at doing what? Like I said, I'm mainly trying to cut out processed foods (which I thought was a huge factor in a paleo diet).
The biggest thing I can't really resist is milk. I buy organic skim now which I know is still processed, but I was coming off drinking 1/2 gallon of skim every day. Can't get enough of it.
If you cut out animal products 100% and only eat plant based foods you'll never go back.
Watch the movie called forks over knives.
Not big on milk but i do have 2 DD's coffees/day with a little skim.
Again, if you cut out the real bad processed foods (i.e. shit that comes in a box), eliminate (except for cheat meals) sugar, starches, grains, and legumes, you'll reap the major benefits of paleo without having to be 100% strict.
Check out http://www.markdsdailyapple.com - a lot of good info on there and with a lot of user submitted food substitutes (e.g. you could replace skim milk w/ almond milk).

This and Food Inc. made me want to go vegetarian. I just started this month and it hasn't been to hard except for when I get drunk I slip and eat meat. Not to mention I've gained weight from all the carbs, I'm hoping cutting grains out will help.
Ive been following the Primal blueprint fairly well for a few months now, overall it has been amazing.
The hardest thing to drop has been milk and beer a few times a week... the rare occasions I do cheat and eat some pizza I end up feeling really sick afterwards. It wasn't until I cut out grains that I realised I actually have gluten allergies - no more feeling bloated after every meal!
I'm not sure about cutting out caffeine, it would probably be a good thing but I am pretty badly addicted to my morning coffees...

Food Inc. was fucking sad. That's why you should boycott all conventionally grown meat. However, if you shop at local farms (or even places like Whole Foods) you'll get animals that are treated humanely and fed their natural diets.
It is good, but I have to sip it. Sometimes I just feel like pounding a full glass of milk in a few seconds.
YES, I've been dairy free for like 4 years (well as much as possible) almond milk is great! The Vanilla flavored even still has less sugar than normal milk, let alone the puss, dioxins, hormones, ect.
Flour is made of grain. White flour is bleached to that color. The compound used to bleach flour is the same one used to induce diabetes in lab rats for testing.
That's how healthy it is.
As a Paleo noob, it is hard to tell what advice on this thread is serious and not. Is this serious? That would be cool.
