Ever since I started the paleo diet, people have been interested, but only mildly so. It wasn't until I put up that website and let people see the before and after photos that they started asking serious questions. I think people might tend to dismiss the short term, small scale loss as it could likely be due to starvation or improper diet, etc. It's when after 6 months, 12 months, and beyond, that people start to see that it IS a sustainable diet, that it is possible to lose a lot of weight, be healthy and happy, and keep it off. And, as long as I get first dibs at the good cuts of meat, I'd be more than happy to share the rest to make healthier people of my friends and family. Dan http://www.paleodan.com
