Thread: PALEO BODYBUILDING LIFESTYLE!!

Most of my meals are: meat, potato, vegetable. Fruits with lunch or breakfast.
I do eat icelandic yogurt for gut health. Raw honey should be on this list too.
I occasionally eat pasta & breads but they are a very small part of my diet. I also use organic or raw milk for shakes.
Overall: meats 40% vegetables 30% fruits 10% grains(oatmeal, breads) & pastas 10% dairy 10%.

Yeah it is a pretty good diet actually. I eat similarly but, regular potatoes are not allowed and potatoes are by far my favorite carbohydrate; along with Rice! So I follow the traditional clean bodybuilding diet 80/20 bulking : 90:10 recomping. I have found a lot of good, new items around lately. Paleo would definitely be a good path for gluten free or Celiacs.
Edit- btw, I like your Avatar! Nice work IO!

Sounds like my kind of diet, if you add the occasional cinnamon roll.

Its easy for me to eat clean thankfully. I dont really crave bad shit. Cakes, pies, pastries, chips, sodas, fast food, none of that stuff appeals to me. If every meal could be a grilled meat with vegetables and some fruits Id be fine with that.

Thanks Max! Im not where I want to be, but not bad for a 44yo guy coming off a 3 year hiatus & injury. Its a never ending journey! Lol!

I have a viscious metabolism. People at work hate me. When vendors gift us doughnut boxes, I eat like 5-6 of them and I stay lean. I can eat all types of "bad" foods and they just burn up. But I prefer lean meats. Im very picky, I take the fat & skin off everything. I cook bacon extra crispy & break all the fat off the meat. I usually do a whole pack of bacon but after its cooked and I take off all the fat, its like 2 ozs of lean meat from the whole lb.
People look at me funny like "what are you doing?"
Think about this though, I pull about 6 ozs of cooked bacon fat off everytime... Now add that up over a lifetime... Thats literally hundreds of lbs of fried fat that never went through my system!
