Paleo basics

Ok so here I am on day two of modified Paleo, and I thought I'd explain a little more about exactly what it is.

I'm pulling most of my info from here: http://www.robbwolf.com/faq

The basic of it is this:

Lean proteins (ideally) grass fed meat, free range fowl and wild caught fish
Seasonal fruits and vegetables
Healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil

So no bread, no potatoes, no rice, no pasta, no soda. Ideally, no dairy or sugar, but I'm keeping those in there (in small amounts) to make it doable for me longterm. Also, certain things that we think of as veggies, are kind of borderline, such as corn, green beans, sweet potatoes, but I am keeping those in as well. The first time I committed to this in Oct 2010, I committed for a month, and felt great! This time, I'm not putting an end date on it. I'd love to do it all year, but right now, it's one day at a time.

The website I put above has tons of forums to get more info, so if you are seriously considering it, definitely check em out!
