re: Anyone tried the Paleo diet?

I meant 450 grams of what kind of carbs...

whole wheat bagel, brown rice, green veggies have trace amounts but I eat a lot. These can vary but you get the idea.

What's your typical day?

not posting a detailed diet here but the breakdown is roughly 50% carb, 35% pro, 15% fat.

Also, only fats are animal?

No Olive Oil?

I occasionally cook with olive oil. I do take in fish oils and have low fat cottage cheese before bed. Should have noted that the bulk of my dietary fat comes from the lean meat I eat.

I use to seek out additional fat sources for my diet (nuts, avocado, whole eggs) but read a few books that suggested getting away from that when taking in a large amount of carbs per day. Ever since I've been able to add calories to my diet and lean up at the same time. By no means am I saying that fats aren't good for you. It's just what I do.
