Paleo diet--- in a nut shell

Get chewable multivitamin and calcium supplements. I literally CAN'T swallow big pills, so yeah, chewable all the way!

Yay! Thanks for doing this..this gives me a better idea to see that Paleos dont starve and do eat a lot of good food!
See when I was reading about Paleo diets, they allowed tons of bacon and eggs. My problem area is my thighs and belly too and I KNOW its because of all the carbs and processed shit I eat. But Im addicted to it. So I think Im gonna try to follow this diet a little. Especially giving up the pastas, rice, bread. But Im glad I can eat Ribeye and fish! and I can eat sushi with no rice (even though thats the best part) and I was reading that with all the meat, veggie, protien, you get you dont NEED mutli vitamins and its actually not that great for you..but then each website says something different right. (Just like some Paleo websites say No cheese or milk, and I probably should give up cheese since I have a problem with getting spoonfuls to eat during the day and that doesnt help either!)
and you should post some modified recipes, Id love to see them.

1) My nutritionalist say that multi-vitamins don't hurt. Whatever you don't absorb you just piss out. (so there is that)

2) in regards to following the diet, my biggest advice is to give up processed sugar first. Do that for a month. See how you feel. (you'll get twitchy, moody, irratable, etc and you don't want to shock your system all at once... besides it's easier to give up 1 thing, rather than 2 (bread and sugar).)

3) you work out enough that if you switch your diet (even for a little) you will lose all sorts of weight. (not that you need to!)

4) the only other piece of advice my dude told me was "don't eat if you're not hungry". your body will tell you. the only exception is you should always eat breakfast, though.

The last thing is my biggest problem, I eat when Im not hungry..just wanna eat. Its like I have the opposite of anorexia. lol. I def think Ill get irrtiable without sugar..so what can you "snack on" ..fruit? smoothies?

I snack on fruit or avacado or tomato or nuts. or i drink a shit-ton of water.

Pish. Bacon is Paleo. I'd starve without it.
One of my favourite podcasts had a title "Bacon saves manhood".

Also, I'm on what I like to call "poverty modified Paleo". I'm in between student loans, and relying on what's left of my meal plan money. So I haven't cut out dairy or nightshades or eggwhites like I *should* because I would literally starve to death.
My aim is Robb Wolf's autoimmune disfunction version, which is waaaay stricter. But I have Crohn's, and have already lost half my colon, so for me it's not about losing weight, it's about saving my life. That gives extra motivation to not cheat. *laugh*
Though I have lost ten pounds, and four inches around my waist in two weeks. And I'm in no condition to be putting my body through the crossfit abuse (abuse meant with love. I hope to be able to join a crossfit gym someday, when I've gotten my body back up to snuff) so that says a lot.
You might not be dehydrated... your minerals might be off. Once you stop eating crap, all of a sudden you actually have to worry that you're eating ENOUGH salt. Also, you're losing weight, so all the ick stuck in your fat might be freeflowing and making you sick too. *laugh*
And oh my god, eat the egg yolks! That's where all the nutrition is!

Yeah I definately couldn't do this. I don't eat a lot of grains with clean eating, but I still need my sprouted bread/wraps. And I couldn't go without beans
