RE: How I lost 83 pounds on the Modified Paleo Diet in less than 6 months!
Congratulations Craig. I got off the SAD (Standard American Diet) about 5 years ago and went on a Paleo diet, but not to lose weight. I was put on this diet for 90 days by a wellness center to lower my mycotoxins (mycotoxins are toxins caused by fungus) which cause many diseases. The wellness center told me after 90 days I could return to my regular diet, but I liked the results of the diet so much that I'll never go back. The first 40 days were the hardest, but after the 40th day I lost all my cravings for sugar, grains, alcohol and dairy products. My brain fog disappeared and I lost about 30 pounds and my overall wellbeing improved. I'll be 79 in 3 months and not concerned so much with my weight, but I want to stay healthy for as long as I can. You can see my photo at @bobbradshaw. Again, congratulations and keep up the good work!
Bob -- Thanks for the reply!
Your story is very similar -- we did not begin the diet for weight -- we were getting SICK.
We actually water fasted for 7 days to get "cleaned out". Fasting can be so healing and very few people have any concept of how it works and how substantially your metabolic and immune systems (along with multiple others) are regenerated by the new stem cells created.
I'm hoping to tell this whole journey later.
There is no reason to go back to SAD -- Ever. Very happy to hear from the successes of so many others.
Keep in touch.
Craig
