Is there really a freaking thread on this? Wow. I've been doing it for over 6 months. Insane results. I just browsed almost this entire thread...pretty much where I spend all my time during the day browsing, reading, listening to Podcasts, etc. Even going back to school to get a M.S. human nutrition. Sweet to find some other OC'ers living Primal!

Snagged over $300 in farm raised pork, bison & chicken last Friday. Waiting on my supplier to let me know when I can get another cow.

Same here, we are high up on the list. I hate cooking with store bought lesser quality meat.

Picked up the rest of my side of beef from my grandma this past week. I now have a freezer full of delicious grass-fed beef.

Started my intermittent fasting up again this week on a primarily 75/25 paleo diet. Will be strength training 3x a week and hopefully gain muscle and become leaner. My workouts consists of:

Monday - Deadlifts 3x, Leg Extensions or Press 3x, Chin ups 3x, and either DB or barbell curls x2. All with 3-5 minute rest in between

Wednesday - Bench Press 3x, Pull Ups x3, Calf Raises, and usually mix one more thing in. Once again 3-5 minutes rest in between

Friday- Back Squat 3x, Walking Lunges 3x, Overhead Press 3x, and work on Triceps 2x. 3-5 Min rest in between

Does this mean 75% of the time you eat paleo, 25% of the time you do not? What do you eat the other 25%?

Correct. Love my cheese and milk. Been getting better at cutting back on both but I'll have a little here and there.

My strict diet actually exist with diary. I consider it to be part of the Pious tier. Not Paleo in the strict sense, but it really works for me. Probably my biggest variation from Paleo. I think I am near 80/20, still have occasional whole wheat flour and brown rice if it meets with the family&#8217;s dinner plans. </SPAN></SPAN>

The only meal I eat at home is dinner and the family will eat what I do as dinner is usually meat, fat & veggies. If they want something else I tell them to cook it. Since I'm the "chef" they usually eat what I cook.

I am not doing the Paleo, but I have been doing the 4-Hour Body since Monday.

Things are going good. Turkey bacon is excellent. I fell in love with Sriracha sauce (Thai chili sauce). A lot of eggs. Need to get more legumes and veggies in my diet.

I haven't drank anything but water for 4 days.

It kind of seems like a hoax. Keep reporting on it though.

It seems like a hoax? I have never heard that. Our school's athletic trainer is a huge fan of Tim Ferriss and some of his methods for helping athletes recover. But, I'll let you know, for sure.

In the four days I've been on it, I've lost 5ish pounds. Feeling good. I am going to start doing more exercise next week. It's been rather hectic getting back in the swing of things after some travel at the beginning of the year (Florida and KC for a week each). So, I'll start some kettlebell swings and ab exercises Tuesday, hopefully. I can definitely say that I have been eating a lot healthier than before. That helps big time.
