No pop, no alcohol, no fast food for all of July. Starting the Paleo diet on the 5th of July. Nothing but protein shakes for breakfast, home-cooked paleo meat and side for lunch and meat/side/dessert for dinner on weekdays. Got the page-long shopping list full of veggies to prove it. Gonna have an epic cookout, then portion out and freeze. Skirt

Paleo Diet

[anonymous]

(1) I don't feel alcohol has to be given up. In my definition I argue that as long as it is from fermented fruit and diluted to only 6% ABV then it would be paleo.

(2) You can eat at fast food restaurants. You have to order the burgers with only lettuce, tomato, and onions. All single ingredient foods. They will give you water for free. And there may be some fruit slices you can buy.

(3) Protein shakes aren't paleo! Why not good old bacon and eggs? It isn't perfect, as the chemicals in bacon aren't paleo. Besides the current issue of Consumer Reports has an article on protein shakes and many of they have high levels of arsenic, cadmium, and/or lead.

(4) I'd go easy on the honey. To overcome the desire for sweet foods you need to stop eating sweet foods.

This is the way I define paleo: Paleo Diet Introduction.

The burgers in fast food places are minimally meat - they're full of wheat gluten and filler bullshit that doesn't even come close to conforming to paleo.

As someone who favors sleep over breakfast, protein shakes, while not paleo, are a 30 second solution to a twenty-minute problem.

You could always just have a big fuckin' glass of milk. (where "big fuckin'" = 24oz)

Heh, this is going to be a much simpler recipe than the one I made when you were over. You're still welcome to some if you want, though.
