<p>What does NOT paleo mean to you? What are some of the different things it might mean? Does your participation on PaleoHacks help you in a good way to avoid things that are truly NOT paleo? Do we sometimes use NOT paleo when we mean paleo neutral (things that are neither paleo or not paleo)? </p> <p>I am wondering more about your thoughts on the term "NOT paleo" -vs- a list of things paleo / NOT paleo...</p>

<p>You could eat a turkey deli sandwich without the bread. It is not 100% ideal but it is better than eating wheat. You could order a hamburger without the bun. See if they will wrap it in lettuce. You could also ask them if the have a gluten free menu.</p>

<p>PUFAs such as egg yolks, salmon, fish oil (if you take it) should be seperated from carbs. In particular fruit and sugars. </p>

<p>Eating that much fruit is not a good idea. It is not sustainable. Keep your aerobic exercise under 45 minutes a day and prefer weight lifting or body weight execises over cardio.</p>

<p>I would consider making small changes at a time. Try adding in just egg yolks. Easiest way is to hardboil and place in cold or ice water for easier peeling.</p> <p>Eggs and Fish are the keys to get back in. You made a lot of changes all at once. No need to do that. Make sure that the eggs and fish do not trigger an autoimmune reaction. Eating just the Yolks should help. If fish causes a problem try fish oil. Oysters are also a great source of Omega3 and other nutrients. Salmon is a great choice for fish. In particular Wild Salmon or Alaskan Salmon. </p> <p>For hunger do the following:</p> <p>Sleep: Go to bed early and sleep 8 hours. Eat: Once you slowly add things to your diet. Defer carbs to the evening. Green vegetables really dont count as carbs in this perspective.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Here is some background information that might help on the hunger issue:</p> <p>SLEEP:</p> <p>To not get hungry you will need sleep. In general if you can wake up on your own without your alarm clock going off that is a good sign. Most people need a minimum of 7 hours of sleep. Some need more. If you do not sleep you will be fighting grehlin levels in your body (More about that later). Sleeping for 4-5 hours is for sure not enough.</p> <p>Do you have sleep - apnea. Do people tell you that you snore? Are you tired during the day? It is importnat to treat sleep apnea.</p> <p>RELAX: </p> <p>Stress increases cortisol and grehlin levels. Find something relaxing. Make your commute less stressful, etc...</p> <p>CORTISOL AND GREHLIN:</p> <p>The bad guys...</p> <p>If you are working out Keep the intense portion of your workout (Start to finish) below 45 minutes should keep cortisol away. Also relaxing keeps it away. </p> <p>Grehlin or why did I just eat an entire bag of oreos, chips, etc.. Or even why did I eat so much Paleo approved food...</p> <p>Sleep and meals reduce grehlin levels. Lack of sleep means higher grehlin levels. Grehlin levels go down when you eat. So fasting is a more advanced technique and if you are still devouring massive food after dinner than it is not time to add fasting yet.</p> <p>To beat grehlin sleep at least 7 hours (Likely you need more)... And eat a big protein breakfast, eat lunch and dinner.</p> <p>Grehlin builds after each meal so going to bed early will help with the munchies and staying up late is a trigger... </p>

<p>Eat a nice breakfast with Protein and Fat. Same with Lunch. No carbs until you have finished half of your dinner. Early carbs create hunger. Sleep well.

<p>The Omega 3 is in the fat of the fish. The skin can be high in Omega 3 as well as the meat. When you cook a Copper River Salmon on the grill you will see the fat rise to the top. Other types of salmon as well. However Copper River Salmon has high fat content and it is very easy to see.</p>

<p>• Breakfast 3 organic eggs 2 strips bacon fried in butter 1 avacado 1 cup coconut milk </p> <p>Breakfast looks good. It should be enough food but if it is not you may need to add some food here.</p> <p>• Snack Yogurt Apple + Banana</p> <p>The apple and bannana have a lot of carbs which is fine.. However they might be causing hunger later on. Perhaps move this pre or post workout. If you nail your breakfast at some point you will make it to lunch. Without a snack. Perhaps some almond butter here that is not optimal but evetually you elimnate the snack and the almond butter.</p> <p>• Lunch 1 chicken breast or 1 turkey breast organic salad: baby spinach, tomatoes, spring mix olive oil </p> <p>Lunch seems too small.</p> <p>• Pre-Workout whey protein shake with olive oil 1 cup coconut milk </p> <p>• Post-Workout / Dinner rotate between beef/turkey/salmon/shrimp/tuna/sardines/sausage 1 cup broccoli 1 plantain or 1 sweet potato fried in coconut oil</p> <p>Looks good</p> <p>• Before Sleep Casein Shake 1 cup coconut milk </p> <p>You coul dsub in one cup cottage cheese if needed. Or make your own casein shake out of a high quality protien.</p>

<p>Great job on your first week.</p> <p>I would look for substitutes for the following:</p> <p>turkey bacon<br> flax seed<br> almond milk </p> <p>The below are OK but evetually you may want to limit the quanity:</p> <p>organic almond butter 1/2 cup raw almonds </p>

<p>Some folks can not eat potatoes. I am one of them. I do eat potatoes on ocassion because they taste so good. However I know it is not optimal for me in any way. I doubt the potato thing will resolve. You will need to avoid potatoes.</p> <p>You might find egg yolks are fine. And perhaps the whites you ate were not cooked all of the way. I eat yolks mostly raw and whites cooked.</p>

<p>Potaotes have nutrients. White rice gives you some flexibility. Some folks do not tolerate potatoes really well. You are not missing out of any health benifits from not eating white rice. </p> <p>I look at it as an occasional food. Nice for when you have guests or when you are eating a steak and potato.</p>

<p>Paleo food works great. You might start out with walking 5 days a week for a month and then add in some weight training. You can start with dumbells or weight machines and work up from there. You are going to do great.</p> <p>Best Wishes - Eric</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Also start with the protein and fat in the morning. Also for lunch (except adding vegetable carbs at lunch is fine). Start the carbs in the middle of dinner. This will help keep hunger away. In addition sleep 7.5 or more hours a day.</p>

The REM sleep will take some interpetation. It won't come out and say it directly. Still very helpful.

Peace - Runny yolks are great. You will find a happy medium on the water for sure. Maybe 8:30 or so? You might consider getting on of these: <a href="http://www.fitbit.com/one" rel="nofollow">fitbit.com/one</a> . It will tell you how often you are waking up and what time. This can let you know if it is REM sleep also how many times you wake up. Another benifit is that it tracks step taken and stairs climbeed so it can track 15 minute workouts as well as steps taken during the day. It might be worth considering. Also if you sleep on your side you may need some additional pillows.

Peace - Once you have had two yolks then you should be good. Anything over that is not needed. However I like eggs and eat 4/day. If you are eating the whites make sure they are cooked. Yolks can be runny. I would not eat whites to begin with. Awesome on the crab and fish! Sounds like your sleep enviroment is good. Sounds awesome!

Waking up during REM sleep woul dexplain the drams but there could be other causes as well. It sounds like you are waing up to use the bathroom. You might make sure the room is dark and that there are no distracting lights etc.. ALso consider drinking less water after 8 or 9 PM. Not watching TV or the computer after 8PM. An unlit kindle is perfect because you need to use room light to read it. Eggs are great. You need fish or oysters as well. or take fish oil. Best Wishes - Eric

Peace - One cause of vivid dreams is waking up in the middle of REM sleep. 15 minutes a day walk will be great. Butter is the safest choice for starting out with dairy as it has the least amount of protein. Which makes it the least problematic of the dairy products with regards to allergies etc... Eggs and Fish are the most important. If you could get some oysters it would help a lot as well. If you live in a sunny place try and get some sun. If you do have some dairy take it in small amounts. I would wait until the eggs and fish are introduced before adding in yogurt and cottage chees
