re: Paleo Diet

Quoting she nan igans:" The results of 8 days? lol okay. Nice long history of success there. . .. "

no the changes i've seen others go through. i'm not saying sit on your ass and do nothing while drinking the shakes. NO healthy diet will work if you don't learn to eat properly in the process.

i've also cut pasta, rice, potatoes and bread for the most part.

So why do you say it's the shakes? I mean, it sounds like you've cut out LOTS of carbs (and possibly a lot of gluten), you're moving more, and watching what you eat. The first week often nets a large loss for most people. Sounds like it probably isn't the shakes at all.

i was barely eating any, and have already tried cuting carbs out before and never got this much of a change. but you might be right. none the less i love the shakes, and feel a lot more energetic since starting, but that can be the side affects of cutting carbs too i guess.

I'm not trying to be rude, and I know it came off that way. I guess I get tired of people doing all these gimmicky things, and selling others on them instead of people just learning to eat right and exercise,. Then these same people gain back the weight, but now theres a huge segment of people continuing to try these produces. Worse there are people who then think if they can't afford these crazy expensive shakes, they can't lose weight.

Portion control and exercise will work unless you have a medical condition. "Plans" that focus around eating well, moving, and eating smaller amounts are good because they teach people how to eat, so they won't gain back the weight.

And really, eating clean is about the best thing people can do. Shakes full of chemicals are NOT clean.

I been using http://getnow.org/paleo cookbook and it cost me very cheap. Lost ton of weight and gained muscles!

Thanks ladies.
