So on my way to the store yesterday, after planning out a month of meals, talking about what we are going to get and my wife says "what happened to that paleo thing? I thought we were going to do that now..." and I am all "... you said you didn't want to..." And she is saying "...no I didn't" and rather than fight about how she is wrong and I am right, I just gave in. So...
actually looking at this beyond low carb generalizations, no way are we doing this. We aren't going to cut out dairy, isn't happening. I think we'll just do kind of a take on it instead, basically just limit breads and grains, no sweets, more fruit, etc. I've pretty much already been doing this, just need to get the wife on board. I do not like cutting out pasta, that is a staple thing that anyone can cook and feed a family with, so replacing stuff like that will be difficult. And beans, I don't understand why paleo wants you to cut out beans beyond a bunch of pseudo-science bullshit from blog posts about phytates. I realize the irony of complaining about pseudo-science in a post talking about taking on the paleo diet or a version of it.
Now I'm not sure at all about what to do and I think my wife is counting on me to come up with something for her so fuck.
