Paleo diet for arborists

[Steve Bullman]

Just so you know, the first week you will feel quite lethargic as your body adjust, but stick with it beyond that and you'll honestly be amazed at how much extra energy you have. You might even find it improves other aspects of your health at the same time

To be honest at the moment I feel "bogged down" and low on energy so it will be an improvement. What about meat? Can you eat plenty?

Yep meats fine!

 

Strictly speaking, Paleo suggests grass fed meat. It isn't always possible, and its more expensive, but to be honest the taste difference is amazing if you can find grass fed beef

What about things like sausage? That's processed.

Also been doing this for a while - but not very strict.

Mainly cut out the carbs and snacking on processed rubbish by 90-95%.

Didnt have much weight to lose, but what had accumulated disappeared very quickly and I am back to the same weight I was through my twenties & thirties.

The most notable difference is significant improvement in energy levels. An analogy I would use is a cork popping out a a bottle of bubbly!

Also no longer feel bloated unless I have a few naughties like bread, spuds, pasta etc, but the discomfort it causes if I have any more than a small portion keeps me on the straight and narrow and really shows you that your body does not want this stuff.

 

Sugar is just a drug - the more you have the more you want. Conversely, the more you cut it out the less you miss it. Our bodies absolutely do not need refined processed sugar. Sell your Tate & Lyles shares quick!!

 

Been doing a lot more exercise and cant believe the energy and rapid recovery.

Biggest problem I have found is the cider - do love the stuff, so have compromised with a few pints twice a week and an occasional blowout - as a few seem to have done at the APF

 

As others have said, this is not a diet, but a way of life. Once you have adjusted shopping, daily routines etc etc it just replaces what you did before.

 

@IC TREES - the basic premise of the paleo diet is going back to the sorts of foods we survived on as hunter gathers. Our bodies evolved for a long long time on such foods so the theory is that our bodies will function better by eating in this way.

Thanks guys am going to make some changes.

Stick with good quality sausages and you'll be ok. There are worse things you could be eating, and steak every night gets expensive!

[Rob D]

Been doing Paleo the last 6 weeks - that and also juicing.... not been doing it strictly just cut out all things like biscuits, potatoes (go onto sweet potatoes), crisps and bread/cereals.

 

 

Def feel better - don't get bloated, longer energy levels etc. Very easy to do once you get into coconut milk and nuts etc...

 

 

Had x2 slices of bread yesterday and stomach blew up like a balloon!

[Tommy_B]

I've been getting sausages from a local farmers. No filler, just proper meat. Get good beef jerky as well if you get hungry

[Ian C]

Had eggs and bacon for breckie, mullered two bags of mixed fruit and nuts, two bags of beef jerky , two chic tits and a load of veg for tea! No bread, pasta or bread today and its funny but I dont feel bloated!
