  Anyone here doing Paleo?

  2 3 I eat paleo. Some days I dip into keto, some days I don't, so don't think that the two are mutually exclusive, they certainly don't have to be. I feel better on Paleo than I have on any other diet. Don't listen to the people saying you don't need that much meat -- if you get rid of grains and legumes and you feel better (which I did and you probably will, because we did not evolve to eat that shit) then you *do* need "that much" meat to make up the difference in both calories and protein. I can only handle one meal a day with eggs (organic, free range, antibiotic free are still a good bang for your buck protein wise) so at the other one or two meals I eat in a day, I eat meat. And a shit-ton of veggies, of course. I agree with the suggestions to, if possible, buy in bulk directly from a local place and freeze it. Goat, beef, pork, lamb -- all are available in bulk in the greater sound area. You don't have to be perfectly organic to be doing well with paleo. It's okay to compromise a little for the sake of budgeting. I worry about things in this order: no antibiotic, organic, grass-fed (the FDA doesn't regulate this term so be sure to ask if the cows are "corn finished" -- you don't want that). Free range "happy" meat is important to me too but I'm not sure where to place that in the list. Don't worry about no-hormone, that's bunk, although if you're looking for the other things, you'll likely end up with no-hormone meat anyway. If you can't order in bulk, just keep an eye out at the store for less popular cuts, they'll be cheaper per pound but you'll be getting the same quality meat. Also ask the butcher people when they get shipments in from whatever organic/no-antibiotic meat supplier they use, and what day of the week the meat that was packaged earlier is most likely to be marked down -- if you're eating it that day or the next, this can be a fantastic deal.

  0 0 No disease that I know of, though I have been more prone to joint aches than most other people my age seem to be. I have a couple of untreated hernias (one inguinal that has been dx'd by a dr four years ago, one near my belly button that hasn't and only popped up in the last 6 months or so) but I doubt those are related.
