I already Crossfit and had to increase my protein in order to get enough food before getting full.

Thinking of trying to do it right for Lent and see how it goes.

Thoughts? Recipes? Suggestions?

one of the easiest paleo recipes:

boston butt (bone in)
just enough crab boil to cover the bottom of the crock pot
put on high for 1 hr and then low for 4-5 (bone will come right out when finished)
drain juice and pull apart
eat

I've only read through about half of the first page of comments, but here is my experience with Paleo...

I just finished my first Whole-30 (visit and cruise the website, no need to buy the book IMHO). I was almost 100% strict on following it, only making meat compromises when whole foods didn't have any grass-fed in stock. I lost 21lbs in 30 days, going from 230lbs to 209lbs (I am 6'2", and admittedly had let the Louisiana diet get the better of me since moving back).

This past weekend, after I had finished the whole-30, I decided to take a weekend hiatus. I definitely indulged myself a bit, and felt like 100% shite after doing so. I've started back on a second round of whole-30, and have decided to eat mostly paleo from now on. I can feel the difference in all aspects. I feel better, have more energy, better concentration, and I feel satiated on less food.

TLDR... Paleo and clean eating has worked for me.

Based on this definition:
quote:

Centered on commonly available modern foods, the "contemporary" Paleolithic diet consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, eggs, vegetables, fruit, fungi, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, potatoes, refined salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.[


I am mostly Paleo. I exclude grains, legumes, potatoes, refined salt and sugar. BUT I do include cheese and olive oil. Lost 20 pounds from Jan-July of last year. I just started back this January and I am including exercise this time around. Quitting bread, pasta and sweets was hard at first, but now I am kinda disgusted looking at it if it's in front of me. My only weakness that I still crave is chocolate, but I found some atkins bars that are 3 carbs and pretty damn good. I like not looking all belly bloated from carbs too.

I know I'm late to the thread, I will say I've found a lot of recipes online that actually suggest a grocery list so you can get more protein rich meals for the buck

meal plans
grocery list

you can find descent coconut water at a mexican market for less that whole foods
