Paleo diet for arborists

[skyhuck]

My breath as been positively fragrant while on this diet, possibly better than before according to my lass.

My breath still smells of mint nicotine lozenges

 

edit: and yes I know cavemen didn't have nicotine lozenges before anyone says it

Are people following this diet using organic meat and veg, with all the antibiotics found in meat and chemicals on vegetables, who knows what effect this has on our selves. It would be interesting for one paleo diet follower to eat organically and the other not- see if there are any differences.

Organic products are highly recommended.

 

Bad breath ('metal breath') is a sign of ketosis- burning fat rather than carbs. Good sign, just buy some mouthwash and keep it in the truck.

 

If you are hungry, EAT! Chow down a pork belly steak. Have a bowl of cabbage microvaved in butter. If you are in ketosis, your body will burn those fats and proteins for fuel, not store them.

 

It's not a diet in which you starve yourself. Your body is programmed to store fats in times of excess- ie. when you've eaten ample carbs and then have the pack of pork scratchings on top. If you are running on fat you have to eat a hell of a lot more fat to store any.

 

How many on here are aiming for ketosis to loose weight and how many just want to eat natural?

 

Myself, I'm happy with weight at 6' tall and 11st 4lbs, 12% body fat. I eat keto because I enjoy it. I sometimes have a few apples or some dried fruit, knocking me out of ketosis for a bit. Now I've lost the weight it's no biggy.

 

I know that if I started eating all the wheat and sugar products, I'd be straight back up to 13/14 stone. Screw that.

 

Keep it up guys!

I gave up smoking about 12 years ago Ross, then started up about 3 years ago for a couple of years. The past year I have been sort of on and off...smoking at work but not at home or on the weekends. Knocked it on the head(hopefully for good) on Dec 21st. I do enjoy my nicotine lozenges though

 

Keep it up mate

[Ross Smith]

That's a funny ex smokers story

Good luck

Ideally I'd like to gain a bit of weight. Can you do this with the paleo diet? I'm 5:9 and just a bit over 9 stone. Even when I was eating lots of everything I rarely got over 10 stone. Just my metabolism. I feel less bloated which is good but I don't want to shed any more weight. Is it safe to eat bacon and eggs for breakfast every day?

It is possible to bulk on keto (heavy cream etc) But you'd be better off asking that question on the bodybuilding.com forums.

Today is actually the first day i've felt better since starting the diet....be interesting to see if I notice it more tomorrow when climbing.
