Hunter gatherers used to eat meat directly after the animal died. In such condition it still contained glycogen which is carbs.

Inuit diet is almost 100% meat and they get 15-20% their calories from carbs,

So it means they get like 10% at least of their carbs from meat thus glycogen.

But glycogen goes very fast and after one day it totally disapear... So how can we simulate this glycogen source ?

I eat fully paleo, 66% meat, i just asked chatgpt and it told me i should pay attention to add salt and potassium.

I was doubting about potassium so i developped and it ended by saing my potassium is good...

But on reddit i read salt should be added in a paleo diet.

What do you think ? Do i have to add things in adition to my diet ?

Hi all. I’m 38 years old and in peri. I have bouts of binge eating and in the moment I just don’t give a crap. I’m tired, bloated, etc. I have done Paleo many years ago but with kids and constant travel for sports, I got off of it. Any women here in perimenopause use the paleo diet to help with peri symptoms? I’m miserable and looking forward to taking control of my life back. Thank you!

So I have tried pure carnivore before, but while it was excellent for quite a few of health issues, it also caused me some acid reflux issues and trouble with actually staying on the diet due to my carb addiction. So I instead decided to go Paleo-Keto route, but... well, it turned out I was having major issues with a lot of plant foods as well. Anything green was out as it would irritate my digestive tract. Fruit I could eat, but sugar would trigger my carb addiction as well as cause massive hunger, and thus fruit was basically a gateway to processed foods. Even when it wasn't, I'd end up just eating stuff the entire day. So after some experimentation, I ended up on a diet of meat, fish, eggs, nuts, olives, sauerkraut and butter.

Did anybody here go through a similar process, and what were the results?

What do people do for easy lunches and dinners during the week? I’m in a rut.

I’ve been eating the same few things - turkey chili, bacon, eggs (usually hard boiled), chicken (air fryer), salads (with various combinations of roasted/steamed/raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, chicken, and olive oil), and almond butter with apple slices (a go to craving). And that’s kind of it!

I need quick and simple ideas for meal planning during week. I don’t really enjoy cooking and have very little time and small children - so if it’s more than a few steps, I probably won’t be able to do it consistently.

I have been putting eggs and chicken in air fryer, since all I have to put in for a set time, and then come back later (and it shuts off when time is done), so that’s worked well.

My spouse likes to cook and will do a large batch of something that I can eat throughout the week. That’s where the turkey chili comes from, and I love it, but I’ve probably had turkey chili for lunch 200+ days in the last year.

I’d love ideas!

I thought i had learned a while back that he ate a ton of sugar which may have contributed to swelling joints? That or maybe he need bone broth to conplement his high protein diet? Any insights?

Trying to simplify my meals and don’t really know how to season steamed or roasted vegetables. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thank you!

I eat a lot of eggs, like 5-6 a day. With the current bird flu, eggs have shot up to $20 a carton. What should I do if I can no longer afford eggs? Is there any alternatives or no?

First time I actually tried lamb, and I have to say, at first tasted weird, but I quickly started to like the taste. Definitely a different flavor to beef I'm going to have to start adding it to my meal rotations. Anyone have any tips on how to cook lamb other than the typical salt and pepper with lots of butter?

(I'm new to this group so any tips welcomed, I read the rules but still getting into Paleo after recovering as an ex vegan, long story short, I healed most of my issues back on carnivore and now trying to get more to Paleo once my gut is more fixed!)

Wondering if paleo primal helps w perimenopause fat loss? I’m also counting calories to make sure I’m not eating too much for my goals.

And some Berries!

Theses are my favourite foods, they're nutrient dense, easy to cook and tasty. I like things simple. And have some autoimmune issue going on. I know these foods are good to me. Would this be adequate to eat all the time, long term?

Thanks (:

So while I am aware of some basic principles of the paleo diet, I would like to learn more about it. So which web sites, blogs and youtube channels would you recommend?

I enjoy breakfast sausages with some sour kraut or egg whites every now and then. Ever since switching to paleo, I've completely avoided sausage from grocery stores due to them being the pre packaged kind thats filled with all kinds of bad preservatives like sugar or nitrite.

I went to a local family owned deli in my neighborhood and bought some sausages there, and I noticed they had a more natural sort of smokey taste. There wasn't a nutrition label since it was just packaged in butcher paper with the price sticker on it.

So I was wondering, is it any safer?

A naturopath recommended intermittently avoiding water as a sort of “cleanser”. I found this to be suspect, but I could be wrong. Can someone explain how this would be beneficial? Hydration flushes out toxins, right? Is it related to resting the kidneys or utter BS?

I used to visit Mark Sisson's website, Mark's Daily Apple, regularly for great articles on health, fitness, and nutrition. However, now when I visit, it briefly redirects to Primal Kitchen and then leads to an iHerb store. Does anyone know what happened to the website? Is it gone for good, or is it just going through some changes?

Any recipes for easy snacks or meals and even desserts and smoothies would be so helpful! Especially food that I can bring with me that doesn’t need to be refrigerated cause I’m really struggling with that and I typically need to eat every few hours or I feel sick. Please include the brand name if it’s a specific store-bought product :)

I have food allergies so I’m super limited to what I can eat. I still eat dairy and raw oats and white rice. Not totally paleo, but at least I can eat food.

I’m not doing paleo to lose weight or anything, it’s actually just because it’s the closest “diet” to my food allergies (gluten, corn and maybe nuts). If you are in a similar situation, I’m happy to answer any questions cause it’s hard out here lol.

*not all sugar that says glucose, fructose, dextrose is made from corn, but it is 99% of the time because it’s cheaper.

hey, i'm working on a site where i'm trying to compile all different meal plans with different diets, preferences and cuisines. For each recipe, it is has detailed nutrient breakdown even by the individual ingredients and also for whole days.

I would really appreciate if this community could give feedback and let me know what they would actually find useful and what is terrible or unuseful (criticisms are welcome!)

I calculated my macro with my diet and i fall with 15-20% of my calories from carbs...

I eat 33% of plants btw.

I read inuit eat like 90% of their diet from animal and get the exact same amount of calories from carbs than me... also i read most of their carbs come from animal.

So i wonder, is following the homo erectus and sapians diet, like eating 66% from animal harmfull ? I read a lot of carbs in meat is lost in the 24h the animal died...

I just wanted to get on here to recommend an awesome paleo cookbook series. If you’re looking for delicious food, the Well Fed cookbook series by Melissa Joulwan is for you. There’s three books and my favorite is the 45 minute or less weeknight book. You can find them for like $10 or less on thrift books. Seriously amazing and there’s three cookbooks.

Going over a friends house for pizza making night. Having trouble finding paleo friendly cheese options at Whole Foods. Any recommendations?

Any ideas welcome for topping ideas or pizza flavor :)

I discovered Paleo four years ago and it made a huge difference in my life. Headaches went away, I had more energy, felt grounded...all by eating real food (I don't know why this didn't occur to me before). One wonderful side effect was weight loss. About 15 pounds dropped off with no effort at all (I wasn't restricting calories, but the new way of eating just made me feel fuller and more satisfied), and I never felt hungry. Stayed at that healthy weight for two years, and then stress led to going off and on the plan, sometimes binging, barely hanging onto the goal weight...until I fell off the rails completely and gained it all back. It was about two years of yo-yoing. Now I'm back on track again, and feeling healthy and good, but the weight will hardly budge. Has anyone else had this experience? I wrecked the good thing I had, and I'm afraid the scale won't move again.

As we can see, hg groups eat almost always the same proportion of their calories from hunted animal : 30%

If they eat more meat then it comes from fish, 30% hunted animal + the rest from fished fish...

So someone eating 66% of his diet from animal would have to eat like 400g of fish a day. Literally impossible, the amount of metal and how expensive it is...

Even if we only care about homo erectus et sapiens, who lived in latitude 25 i guess, fish would stil need do be around 20% of calories.

Hi all, I got a rotisserie chicken from WF and am wondering what this is. I was vegan for a while and have no idea if I should get rid of the chicken.
