my semi paelo try out 1st week

[admonisher]

Hi, I started a semi Paleo Diet recently, I'll be doing it for 3 weeks and see what results it gives me. I have read the wolf and cordain book but I will get them soon, for now I have been reading info on the board and on the internet, I would like to have some critics of my meal plan if possible ? I dont make much of the choices of them meal but I compose with what I have.

Cutted words: Clark old fashion Beans( its beans in cans)

In general I took the option raw almond and added a bit more in calories but I eat a bit less for the same amount of calorie and I sauté them with some olive oil and a bit of salt added. and it is Almond mixed with peannut, I know that peanut is not paleo.

Until now on a day that I did not eat grain, I am not sure if it happened ? but I dont seem to have problem outside of grains. and My carbs used to be 2 times higher then this , and my fat 2 times lower. Maybe the difference is gonna be better, until now I feel extremely great. I dont train for now because of finger injury, I only do the gymnastic bodies warm up and some Floreio workout, and I dont eat more or less on those days. I am 146lbs I gain pound during school eating shit, I was 152 but now with paleo and no exercise I am learning to really fix my diet, calorie restriction seems to not work for me since it failed 2 times.

ANyway I would be glad to get critics on my diet so far what to change add. I think I should add advocatos to my diet definitely. Amd chicken would be better then pork or beef(even lean)

I measure 5 foot 11 146lbs, tall medium/skinny not much muscles, almost no abs. I love to be athletic but because of school I go in periods of 4/5tunes a weej training to 2 d ays a week or none. I pretty much sleep 8hours a day more or less. consume 2000 calories normally and eat 2300 if I train.

I would like to arrive to 145lbs and keep that weight and add muscle on a very very slow way without gaining much fat. If I never gain muscle but become strong its fine with me too.. I have been measuring food for 1 year and I still am, I hopefully would like to stop counting food and still maintain 145 lbs 32 inch waist or at least have a nice lean and healty shape maintaind without measuring food all the time and cecking my body weight.

I once got low to 138 and 142, I felt very weak so I know 145-146 is my weight between health/hapinness

It's extremely difficult to judge something labelled a 'semi paleo' effort.I could tell you that the paleo bits were vary paleo, and the non paleo bits were similarly rather non paleo(cheat meal looks awesome), but I don't think that's what you're after.

What I think you'll benefit from is an episode of robb wolf's paleo solution that I can't find. Basically there was a question where someone was doing a semi paleo and not feeling super, Robb said as far as he was concerned, the guy hadn't started yet, and should do 30 days strict before thinking about re introducing anything or thinking about cheating(no pink ribbon for going low gluten etc etc). Justification was to allow the gut to sort itself out. If you can find it, it promises to be better than my synopsis.

Protein also looks a bit low (1g/lb body weight low limit)

Regardless of eating paelo, low carb, the zone (balanced) or high carb, your calorie intake and expenditure are the main

factors in determining if you lose or put on weight, as fat in particular. If you are eating more-or-less at your caloric requirements, you will stay more-or-less the same weight you are now. Changing your diet composition may vary how well you feel, your energy level, insulin repsonse, appitite, how much fat or glycogen is stored, how much water is held. And your weight may fuctuate based on this.

Paleo is a term that has different meanings depending who you talk to. The main thing in common I gather is that is

it is low-carb, usually at ketogenic levels below about 60g day - which people call being "fat adapted". This is a major metabolic shift which accounts for much of the satisfaction people receive from paelo, in my opinion. Meats, fishes, mostly or all non-grain carbs, nuts, fats, etc.

RIght now your carb intake is probably too grainy to be classified as paleo. Right now you are eating a pretty typical diet in terms of macro (fat/carb/protein) percentages. You are closer to a zone diet than paelo, which

is more or less balanced between carb, protein and fat calories, but still have a way to go before reaching this.

There is nothing wrong with that. This diet arrangement also has a lot of adherents and performance and well-being claims.

If you are trying to lose weight, you should probably increase protein and decrease carb instake, to preservef msucle mass and increase your sense of fullness. Cut out some of the fat to reduce overall calories. Do resistance exercise or GB work 2-3x week. Eat 15-20% under maintenance, but enjoy a cheat meal or two during the week without guilt. If you want to go full paelo, explore different systems and find the one you think you can stick with, and use it for period of 3-4 weeks as it takes time to adjust. Then see where you are at and where you want to go from there ...
