I started out doing Paleo plus dairy and have since changed to strict Paleo which means no grains, legumes or dairy. Since I do not have an auto immune issue I will still be eating nightshades which include potatoes and bell peppers. I will however be peeling the potatoes since the bad part is in the skin. I was concerned I would not get enough calories without my dairy but it has not been an issue. I will say I miss my post workout milk but have substituted sweet potato and left over meat for this meal. Sweet potatoes are delicious as well. I never knew, and they are cheap! I injured my back 3 weeks ago because I went to the gym even though I was sick and did some back squats with poor form due to having a foggy brain. I could barely stand up straight for a week and could hardly go the day without popping Advil. Sitting for 8 hours a day at my job really exacerbated the condition as well. I have been stretching and have ran and jumped and done some wallballs. I have no pain during the activity but my low back is sore the next day. This week I will take all week off and just do some mobility work. It is very frustrating to be so inactive but I know it is for the best.
My gf and I started a strict Paleo diet 2 weeks ago and she has already lost 4 pounds. She is someone who loves her pastries and sugar so it has been a struggle finding alternatives to a certain degree but seeing results so quickly is quite a motivator. She also has suffered extensively in the past from intestinal discomfort and that has improved dramatically since kicking the grains

Hey John! I think I mentioned I did Paleo for a month in March and had great results with it. One of my favorite things was something we called Paleo Fried "Rice". I grated up cauliflower in a food processor and used that as the "rice". I put egg, carrots, green onions and whatever else we felt like. I used coconut aminos because I was being pretty strict, so no soy sauce, but now I would probably just use soy sauce or braggs. But it is seriously delicious.
