Now you caught me, Caryl because if I tell I've to show that I'm
less "paleo" yet, as my own ideas were.

I have breakfast
- nothing or, more often

- some nuts/seeds (almonds, sunflower,  pumpkinseed , walnuts)
  and some juice
  sometimes fruit
  or
- 100% pure 100% rye sour dough bread in winter with pure avocado,
  in summer with sesame paste(tahin) or white fresh goat cheese
  and coffee

Lunch
- a real *big* salad of fresh green/yellow/red/white uncooked items

  (unfortunately at work it doesn't satisfy me as much as at home
  because of quality)
  often together with a little pure cooked rice or potatoes
  (sigh, whats available at work)
  dressing: *much* olive oil, a little apple vinegar(if possible lemon)
- at home: like dinner
Dinner
- real plenty of some vegetable (broccoli curlflower carrot zuccini
  artichoke peas..., whatever is available fresh in good quality)
  cooked with water, eaten with much oil (seldom sauces)
  or
- big salad (organic) with nice oils and lemon
  and/or
- 1 cup of quinoa or buckwheat or rice or millet or spelt or rye
  (cooked and eaten whole-seldom grinded-  with oil, the vegetables
  or mushroom/onion sauce
- sometimes 100-200 g of nice mushrooms, fried with onions
- sometimes chickpeas , peas lentils
- from time to time a munich beer
- when in restaurants (i can't avoid)

i take often salads, sometimes with feta/mozzarella
  sometimes pasta with vegetables
  and love indian food (rice based)

Inbetween
- sesam seeds(raw) , sunflower seed, fruit, nuts.

And I enjoy eating and cooking :-))

Now that's a little snapshot.
As you see I do eat certain grains, but never refinded ones,
and avoiding wheat.
I try not to mix them (during the day) and use only organic of course.
I'm of middle europeean descent and consider myself well adapted to
them. They satisfy me fine.

Dairy I eat very little , nearly only fresh white cheese
and almost only from goats or sheep
(just an issue of taste).
I can digest dairy fine - seem to be well adapted to

Vegetables are the most important for me. And good tasting and
satisfying are for me only the ones I get from the organic store, or
better from farmers, I know.

Meats, I did
n't include for a long time now (12 years), and at last
I ate only the best of it(in my terms), that is sheep or angus,
only the best parts.
Also at last my wife didn't want to *touch* the meat stuff
(leg of calv...) when cooking.
Eating a fine plant collection I slowly lost my hunger for it.

My wifes and sons follow the same style although one son and the women
seem to live more on the sweet side of eating.
The children are real big and strong compared to their classmates.
I'm 38yo, 184cm tall and weigh about 70kg without any restrictions
on eating. I eat whatever I am hungry for.
