The dawn of the modern Caveman

I've been taking more of an interest in natural diet and exercise lately, and I've noticed several parallel efforts seem to be merging in the same direction, leading more and more to the Paleo lifestyle. Briefly, the diet portion is meat, eggs, veggies, fruit, and nuts, but without (or only minimal) grains, dairy, and sugar--and organic if feasible

I started up paleo and have lost eight pounds, which I needed to lose. I've just been very bored with the palette of foods; I like Asian food and it has a lot of noodles and rice.

Also, minimalist running saved my knee! I'm in Newton Sports Lady Isaacs right now but planning to give Vibram Fivefingers a go. Problem is, I can't do PT runs in those, so I need a more conventional shoe for PT uniform. I've had trail runners recommended.

But yeah, it works.

Congrats on the weight loss and the knee progress!
When I first heard about Paleo around 10 years ago, I didn't have that much variety of veggies in my diet, so I put it off. Today, I'm trying new fruits and veggies, and new ways of preparing them. I think this is the reason that there are several Paleo diet books out there. I don't yet have VFF, and even when I eventually have them, I'll still have some minimalist shoes for places that require them.

There's a lot to be learned from family-historic diets too. Our internal biome can handle some things better than others... lactose tolerance for instance being a more visible example.
But I want to learn more about this, as I try to bring more exercise into my life.

Good health to you all!
