Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone. I've been interested in paleo eating for quite some time and have been eating "semi- paleo" for several months, now wanting to take the plunge. I'm almost 23 yrs old, and want to be healthy now so I don't have to be as worried when I'm older, I also wish to be a natural bodybuilder following a paleo lifestyle. I'm working on reducing my bodyfat at this time, and have many food intoleranced/allergies, severly limiting my diet. I'm lactose intolerant (can't handle any dairy, butter, whey proteins, etc), allergic to eggs, also have trouble with most fruits (particularly oranges which bloat me, I learned citrus is a commen allergen), and even have problems with spinach, kale, broccoli, and asparagus (fresh and frozen) NONE of them sit well with me. I've tried atkins and similar approaches, and even with 0 carbs, I can't handle fatty foods (bacon, marbled steaks, 80% ground beef) They all bloat me and I progressively increase bodyfat with them, even in the abscence of carbs and sweeteners. I can't handle aspartame or sucralose products either. Since I've been eating like this my sensitivity to "modern" foods is worse. Example, I eat oatmeal, and It destroys my stomach. I can't use any protein powders b/c they do as well, even aspartame free ones. So by default, I'm forced into a paleo type diet not only b/c I truly believe in it (after all, the foods available naturally are obviously what we're designed to eat) but also b/c my body is so sensitive to foods and I can't lose bodyfat unless i'm extremely strict. I will post more details about my prescribed plan, but wanted to indroduce myself, and give the basics of my diet. Since I can't tolerate any of the "natural" carbs that are paleo and I enjoy, I'm sticking mainly with lean meats (top round/eye round steak, turkey, salmon, chicken) and fish oils to balance out the n-3:n-6 ratios. Anyone try this type of approach, and what were your results. Green beans are the only green vegetable I can tolerate well and it's not paleo so I'm limited in options.
