I wanted to try to eat less protein but have a hard time with it. I also
have food intolerances and there are certain veggies I can't eat. I avoid
fruit - used to eat avocadoes but am intolerant to them now. So basically my
meals consist of animal protein, naturally occurring fats plus cod liver
oil, olive oil, and grapeseed oil, lots of lettuce, non-starchy veggies like
kale, collards, celery, spinach, and occasionally some Brussels sprouts. I
love cauliflower but it makes me swell up like a balloon within 5 minutes of
eating it. Not sure what my ratios are right now but when I tracked it last
it hovered around 35 % protein, 3 - 5 % carbs, and the rest in fat.

I rarely eat nuts and I drink green tea or decaf when I get up. And as is
evident by the decaf I am not 100% paleo - I chew gum on occasion, I had soy
creamer in my decaf this morning, etc.

I wish this diet would make me lose weight...it used to. My body just feels
totally out of whack.
