Paleo diet?

Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking of doing it from the new year.

I did do it for several months but it’s quite a lot of hard work having to make paleo versions of things. I lost a little bit -mostly because with no bread, potatoes, chocolate, wine -I was eating lower calories overall.

I gave up in the end and just eat normally but log everything on My Fitness Pal. I’ve lost 3 stone by sticking to a calorie target. Kept it off nearly 2 years now.

If you work out your tdee (calories to remain the weight you are now) and reduce it by 20% it gives you a target to aim for to lose.

Thanks!

I actually hate logging food. I've done MFP and WW before and plain old calorie counting before MFP was a thing and I just get tired of the logging!

Was hoping to avoid doing that with the Paleo approach. It sounds almost easy going compared to LCHF or keto or whole30, but perhaps not then, if you found you were having to make lots of special recipes!
