Has anyone tried the Paleo diet?!


Question: Has anyone tried the Paleo diet?
How hard was it for you? Did you totally commit the first 30 days? Did you do it to lose weight or just to be healthier? Either way can you please answer my questions and tell me your results?

Answers:

Well, the healthiest way to eat is to consume mostly veggies, quality protein (such as eggs, which are a "superfood"), and natural healthy fats (that includes saturated fat), since all those are vital to the body and beneficial. Since all the carbs/sugars that you need daily can be found in veggies, nuts and such, there is little reason to consume higher-carb foods such as those from grain/cereals/flours (though I personally allow myself 1 serving of them daily, such as brown rice, for the sake of dietary variety).

I also personally advocate replacing as much fruit intake as possible with more different veggies instead, since excessive sugar intake is a BIG NO NO, and the beneficial nutritional values are basically interchangeable between fruits and veggies. To that end, I also limit my fruit intake to 1 serving per day and just eat extra veggies instead throughout the day.

Eating in this manner over many years (properly restricting my sugars/carbs, even before is was vogue to do so), I never gain weight despite my 2500-3000 calorie intake daily, maintain a lean 8-10% body fat ratio even at age 46, and everyone thinks I'm in my late 20's still.

Pretty much every dietary-related chronic health condition out there (including high fat/cholesterol blood levels) is caused by excessive sugar/net-carb consumption, NOT CONSUMPTION OF NATURAL, UNREFINED FATS (EVEN SATURATED) OR CHOLESTEROL.
