12. With no intention of stopping. I eat Pastured hard cheese and pastured butter.

In order of my non-compliance:

(12) Dr. Harris also doesn't follow step 12. (He lives in Wisconsin, duh!) I really eat way more dairy than I probably should.

(7) I'd like to IF, but I have to eat when I take meds. - I do sometimes skip meals and try to only eat when hungry.

(9) I do excersize properly, just not very frequently (working on it!)

(11) I probably have some beans once or twice a month. Oops! Peanuts are a bean! Crap!! I love my peanutty peanuts. Okay make that twice a week - lol. He also says by step 10 "you are at 99% for most people." So, I take it as sorta optional. I mostly don't do beans casue of the carbs (I'm diabetic) and for the other reason.

(5) I do favor the beef, but also eat a fair amount of chicken - as that is what my wife tends to cook. I don't eat very much fish. But I do take fish oil and some cod liver oil.

The rest, I'm almost 100%

I eat peanut butter (from the jar -- it's my favouritest food in the whole world, but I stick to low sugar/salt), hard cheese (usually from raw milk), heavy cream, and butter.

I also sometimes make "franken-paleo" foods, like almond meal muffins or erythritol-sweetened chocolate fudge.

I don't like fish/seafood so I take fish oil. I eat a lot of beef and most of it is grass-fed. We do still eat out a couple times a week though, and that is usually not grass fed and most likely contains vegetable oils and other bad things, but I try to minimize it.

Two meals a day/IF was difficult at first but after a couple of months of paleo it started coming naturally.

I'm trying to focus more on resistance training, replacing one or two of my weekly dance classes with pilates/weights.

So I guess I'm doing pretty good but always room for improvement :) I feel great and have lost almost 20 lbs in a little over three months.

I am pretty close, but after a short experiment I got back to eating dairy. I try to have as much grass-fed meat as possible, but I also get regular. I eat fish mostly from cans... I add krill oil or fish oil to supplement.

There are a few steps I do 100% and some in a pretty high percentage. It's only recently that I starter to push for even more fat.

I sometimes graze like a damn dirty herbivore on fruit, and I actually agree with him that it would be better if I didn't so I'm not in disagreement with any of his recommendations.

Apparently I'm an orthodox paleo :) And that's also true when I go meat-only.

My only weak point would be #9 - proper exercise. But today's the last day of term before a two-week break, so I'll have some time to get in more walking, and maybe some resistance training too. I'm loving my belly dancing and yoga, but that's twice a week together...

8) Adjust your 6s and 3s. Pastured (grass fed) dairy and grass fed beef or bison has a more optimal 6:3 ratio, more vitamins and CLA. A teaspoon or two of Carlson's fish oil (1-2 g DHA/EPA) daily is good compensatory supplementation if you eat grain-fed beef or no fish.

It is much harder to get grass-fed beef in Montreal. I just ordered half a cow, but I won't get it till mid-November. I am also having a hard time finding high-quality fish oil.

Eugh SO hard not to graze - especially when in charge of feeding a 3 year old and a 9 month old, and it seems like SOMEBODY in my household is hungry at least every couple of hours.

I usually eat 3 meals. I don't call that grazing. I almost never snack. SOmetimes I will skip meals if I am busy and/or there is not healthy food around.

And I still eat diary, although not milk, just cheese or cream.

The rest I am rather good about, but not 100 percent. Once in a while, I will eat out or have one bite of pie or somesuch. I am not obsessive about compliance but overall, my compliance is high.

I think a few cheats every now and then is fine.
For me the real breakthrough to sticking with the diet was learning to cook interesting and tasty meals that filled me up. After that the rest was easy.

Who much vitamin D did the average paleolithic man get? in between the ice ages?

step 10 about the fruits: although I don't eat masses of fruits, I've never worried about fruit consumption (never had to lose weight or had other metabolic problems)

I eat apples and I eat more than twice a day, but then I'm not trying to lose weight.

Wonder what the effect of apples (bags of sugar) and other fruit has on my liver and other internal organs... anyone?

Hadn't seen Harris' list previously; thanks.

1) I don't supplement on pure re-enactment/if Grok didn't do it grounds. Since I'm doing Sisson's PBF thing, I try to get outdoors for my exercise whenever it's sunny. I may, however, try some vitamin D once the snow flies this year.

2) I'll occasionally eat the odd cashew.

3) I've been wilfully remaining ignorant of the whole Omega 3/Omega 6 thing since I'm lazy and hoping that attention to the diet will cover that.

Other than that, seems like I'm pretty orthodox paleo by Harris's standards.
