High Fat, high protein, low carb

[nothing2lose]

You can do it MT. If I can, you can.

Just change your obsession. I don't eat peas (They are also a natural contraceptive ), corn or potato, but you could to ease your way into it. I think giving up sugar and grain is more important to start with.

Re breakfast, I have made casheroos, paleo pancakes, energy balls (still got dates, so technically a no no), paleo bread, etc on a Sunday and eat those at work when I get in.

We eat similar to this on GAPS. It's like paleo/primal too. We are very low starch though so we don't eat some of the starchy foods allowed on the paleo diet like sweet potato, arrowroot and plantains. I try not to go too low carb and I find I need to eat a heap of veggies to make up for it- which is awesome! I eat more vegetables now than I did as a vegetarian as I was displacing too much nutrition with refined carbs then.

I lost a bunch of weight and I eat STACKS of fat and protein. I don't hold back and I never, ever count calories.

If I can do it then seriously, anyone can. I used to eat 2-3 chocolate bars a day and at least 1/2 a loaf of bread. Then pasta and potatoes. Honestly.

N2L I cannot tell you how proud I am of you xox

I've been wanting to just have meat and veges for a while, but haven't been motivated, maybe I can do it. I think I will tell DH that I want to be responsible for cooking etc...he does a lot of it, cause he is home earlier than I, but i think I need to do doing it myself....

I'm on it... No peas though!!!

Do you find it expensive?

I was vegie for many years, now eat white meat. DH and kids like meat, and i find it really expensive, especially when i try to get 'good' meats.

Ahh all this talk is making me miss paleo sad panda.

HotI - it was expensive for us but we are on centrelink benefits until dh finishes his degree so everything is expensive lol

MT, be proud of me in six months if I'm still doing it and my health is on track

HotI, honestly I can't say whether it is expensive or not. I'm fortunate enough to not have to worry so much about that, but I know there are lots of paleo sites for people on a budget. I think one is called Poor Paleo... (Sorry, not calling you poor!!!)

That said, I reckon you wouldn't have to spend too much. After all it's about cooking for scratch so it can be cheaper than buying processed stuff. The nuts/coconut products can be $$ but you could buy in bulk.

So if I cooked up some brekky things on a Sunday, would they last all week....?
I guess it depends on what they are... Bit I'm thinking something muffiny paleo bready kind of thing...
