Alyne, I have this constant confusion regarding Carbs.......
I don't try to count them or count calories.............
Most foods contain carbs, I think......so I prefer to
think of pasta, bread, potatoes, rice, etc. as Starchy
foods......after all, there's a reason it's called
"corn starch"........................
Anyway.....the CAD recommends meat of any
and all kinds and the green leafy veggies......
in about equal portions.........I can't find the
book right now.............

Example.......yesterday I had two leftover
porkchops and a bowl of salad for breakfast......
some loquats I picked off a tree in the yard
for a snack later...............tuna and salad
for lunch........then back to the yard where
I grabbed a tangerine off a tree for a snack....
For dinner I had two cups of salad, a
bowl of collard greens, half of a potato,
and three fried chicken legs.........according
to the CAD I could have had a whole
potato, but I wanted a bit of ice cream
for dessert..............so I'm not eating
Paleo in a purist way.....Ice cream is
certainly not paleo........but I'm using
no sugar......no honey.....no coffee
creamers........no refined grain products....
no artificial sweeteners at all......but
I grow something called Aztec Sweet
Herb.......no calories but the leaves
taste sweet.....dried and steeped in
a cup along with black tea it makes
the tea taste sweet.............I don't know
if the taste of sweet is enough to kick
off the insulin reaction even if sugar
is  not present........but I haven't felt
a reaction...................
I'm using sour cream, olive oil, or
roasted sesame oil on salads......in
the purist Paleo sense, none of these
are paleo...........I can't afford to buy
wild meats so I shop Publix.....and I
don't trust the meats enough to eat
them raw............so that is not very
paleo either.........

But I like being on this list as I learn
something new every day from everyone.....
