Any Languish vegetarians?

Yeah, I could 'do' paleo, I think, and lately alot of our meals have been low carb, but I CAN NOT give up beer, ever.  In fact I put 30 cans of Miller in the beer fridge this afternoon.

Sounds like you already have.

Paleo gives you constipation, though, so you need to eat some extra fiber.

That being said, I tried "light paleo" (with booze) and could not lose weight - then I dropped booze for a while and lost a tonne, despite eating a lot of everything.

So yeah guys, I'm sorry to say but if you want to lose weight, giving up booze is the way to go.

I would do a vegetarian if she's cute enough.

What exactly is Paleo again?

What exactly is Paleo again?

Basically, eating what palaeolithic hunter-gatherers would eat. So anything that can be hunted (meat, fish) or can be picked (vegetables, fruit, honey, nuts, eggs) but no dairy, no grains and no processed foods. Obviously, any alcoholic stuff is a no-no by this philosophy, so people cheat and call it "paleo light" so they can get pissed.

The philosophy behind this diet is that the agricultural revolution is a recent phenomenon, and our bodies did not evolve to accommodate it.

And that's utter bullshit.

[Razgovory]

Okay, that's stupid.

I've given up on diets.

The so-called "Mediterranean" diet is the closest thing to something I follow. Fish, olive oil, vegetables, lean meats and wholegrain. I have eaten so much spinach these past few years, I basically am Popeye The Sailor Man.

Alcohol and sugary drinks have a metric shittonne of calories, but I daresay if booze is what's keeping you from losing weight if you're trying, it's not really the weight's that's your primary issue...

My casual research tells me that the ultimate food for maximizing fat/calories/sugar into the smallest, tastiest morsel possible is...cheesecake.

The wonderful thing about the paleo people is that hunter/gatherers did indeed eat grains (and did so whenever they could find such wild things).  The basic arguments about domestication of such plants depends on scheduled rounds of hunter/gatherers coming and harvesting such plants...

For you.  I've had days recently where I had to crack open a couple beers at the evening in order to get to my minimum calories for that day.  Moderate consumption doesn't seem to hurt me much.  It's those damned bottle shares and beer festivals that do it.
