Dear Lynn,
I too was morbidly obese at 5'7" and 261. I started the paleo last year
and added walking to the change in lifestyle. One year later I am down
under 200 pounds and am walking 1 1/2-3 hours a day and feel great. Don't
give up hope, just keep on truckin. It is amazing how great you will feel
as you get healthier. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle commitment that you
are making to yourself. Paleo eating and paleo living works!!! (formerly
"fat" Phil)

Subject: Caloric Intake
I've been flirting with Paleo for a couple years now. I will stick to
eating Paleo then relapse, but really need to sit down, put the ax to
the grindstone, and just commit. I am morbidly obese at 5' 7" and 287
lbs. with multiple health issues including using a wheelchair. So my
ability to exercise is limited. I purchased a Total Gym awhile ago but
have been watching that pretty new piece of exercise equipment sitting
in the corner more than I have applied myself to using it. I need to
start a work out regime and stick to it also. Sounds like a News Years
resolution the way I start things and relapse doesn't it? Another issue
is that I have had a lot of problems with my teeth so I can't eat nuts
(which I do love as a snack etc.) until those issues are resolved which
will be awhile yet so I tend to need to eat softer fully cooked foods
right now.
Anyway...I really need to get on the ball for my own well being. I am
curious if anyone actually watches their caloric intake closely or if
you just follow what your body tells you it needs. Seriously...If I
cooked a good sized chuck roast with carrots, celery, onions, and
rutabaga, I could eat that entire roast myself between breakfast, lunch,
and supper. I do love meat and root veggies. Now I know how the main
stream dietary needs say how many calories you should eat per day etc.
but I am wondering if I should apply that same thought when eating Paleo.
Another thing is my PC is having fits so I am using my laptop and I
can't find the link for the Paleo Website Information that I have
somewhere that had recipes and lots of information on it. Could someone
post that link for me? Thanks for any advice you have.
Sincerely,
Lynn
