This is more for people who don't currently follow a Paleo diet. I'm wondering what everyone else's thoughts are when they hear about the Paleo diet. Does it have a negative, positive, or neutral connotation to you?
Hi Sam- It is tough sometimes as it does take a lot of preparation. I would suggest that you dedicate some time on a day off to prepare your food for the week. You can make larger quantities and freeze it for later use. Also, the crockpot can be very helpful if you are really busy. Hope that helps a little.I started the Paleo Diet about 9 months ago and I was symptom free for a goo while I was strict on the diet and I felt great. For the past couple of months Ive slowly drifted away from the diet because I work two jobs and I am in grad school and havnt had the time to cook all my meals like I used to. As a result I have had to go on Pentassa and Entocort because the pain came back from the crohns. Do you have any suggestions on how to stay on the Paleo diet easier? I realize this isnt why you posted this thread but I was just wondering if I could get your input.
I heard that its common to feel tired when you go 100% onto this diet and that you're supposed to just power through it. Personally it sounds risky to do that to yourself cause its easy to say that your body is just getting used to the diet and eliminating toxins etc and to just tough it out when the reality is that you may be doing harm to yourself by not getting the nutrition your body needs like you mentioned. Just be careful with whatever you do.I recently tried a plant-based diet for three months and as the weeks progressed, I became more and more tired. I guess I wasn't getting enough of something I needed. I'm now back to my old way of eating (no red meat, no pork) which includes turkey, fruits, vegetables and kiefer and am feeling better.
