Anyone Tried the Paleo Diet?

I can see cromag maybe having an interest in a bird for tucker, but I'd really like to know who was desperate enough to crack an egg and think "man that looks good!"
Starvation likely motivated prehistoric men to try almost anything.
If he didn't die, others would follow suit.
I'm now on the Edpal diet.
Read a post, lose appetite.

I want to know who had the brilliant idea
of dumping said raw egg on top of perfectly good whiskey.:***:
It seems to me you're perfectly fine with upsetting all our stomachs (and often) for free.
True, but if that motivation ends when one's butt can be shoehorned into the three string kini or speedo and the fad is dropped for a return to grazing at will, the yo-yo effect can play absolute hades with one's physical (and mental) wellness.
When I met wifey she was the queen of the fad diet and was on that yo-yo over 10 pounds. She'd jump on the latest bandwagon and lose it, then fall off and get it back. I convinced her if she would quit looking for a quick easy cure and just adopt a more healthy lifestyle the prob would self correct. She's become a serious recipe collector but it's been forever since I saw a fad diet book (or the extra 10 pounds) in her kitchen book rack.
I ate a near paleo diet for a couple years in college when I was really into weightlifting. To the say the least, I always felt energized and at my peak physical capability. I managed to put on ~25lbs+ of muscle in about two years, but this was also, in part, due to my fairly intense workout schedule. I never felt sluggish or mentally hazy, as I do whenever my diet begins to consist of more salts and sugars. I will, however, add that I always needed a 15 minute nap every afternoon while on this diet. This may have been partially due to my workout routine, but I never felt like I could quite make it throughout the entire day without a nap. But, again, it only had to be a short 15 minute one just raise my alertness.
I'm slowly getting back into this diet after being off of it for about a year, and I can already tell a positive change in my energy level, my stress level, and my mental ability. While I'm not sure if this diet is right for everyone, I will say that it's one that seems to work quite well for me. And the added bonus is I get to continue eating all the foods I like

Many aren't really on the yo-yo - I've usually been very good at maintaining whenever. But every so often life events have pushed me to not be careful, I slide up 15-20 and then have to push it back down
Spouse got sick - I gained 20 lbs.
Spouse died - I lost 25. Ok, honestly I was mainly trying to freshen the "bait", needed to get laid!!! It worked!!
Musta been before you met Darth's mom...or Darth for that matter. Not that I'd know from personal experience, but I've heard some scuttlebutt about the Darth clan making the rounds at Langley...
pisshhh, I knew her before Darth was a gleam in anyone's eye. But it's been 42 years, not like I'd submit to a paternity test at this late date.
Don't confuse your paleo with your jurassic. Real cowboys know the difference.
Yeah, I keep on telling Darth's mom that - but she pays so darn good.
