Any tips on trying a paleo diet?

A friend of mine tells me the same, I think it’s time I start listening to you all…

You should!!

We mostly do keto because my wife can stick to it, has the interesting effect of making her less hungry and less likely to snack by a large margin, not everyone reacts this way though and it’s just food for most.

Yeah going into keto is often the case with paleo too (tho if people ‘abuse’ it by veering too far from what a traditional paleo diet might look like then they may not go into keto) - but paleo is still a good place to start due to its popularity and abundance of recipes online.

But yeah, we eat an excessive amount of meat, due to the area we live in (more cows than humans), we have a quarter of a cow sitting in the garage deep freeze right now. ^.^

You are so lucky! We pay through the nose to get good quality beef here. Funny thing is Wales is full of sheep, but it gets exported so we don’t see cheap lamb here!!!

@dimitarvp - exercising is vital, and combined with a healthy diet you just can’t loose !!

I agree with what many others think about body composition being 80% diet and 20% exercise - that exercise is still important even if just 20%. I definitely noticed the difference lifting weights and even though exercises like squats and deadlifts are hard, I never felt like not doing them - it’s like your body knows they’re good for you
