Im starving after reading this.

You add a hacksaw to your collection of kitchen implements.

Just did this exact thing, with the ham.

Very recently, I had kobe beef tartar and it was DELICIOUS! I don't think the meat by itself would have done it for me, but fresh grass fed beef, with an organic egg yolk, capers & onions? SIGN!ME!UP!

It was seriously delicious, and if anyone has any trouble with the idea of raw meat, I'd recommend going that route first. Baby steps, really.

As for "You know you're paleo when..."

...you eat mashed avocado, brussel sprouts and ground beef after doing some box jumps on your office desk lol

When you haul (lug) a fresh BEEF liver and beef heart from farm to your refrigerator in a big black bag. And then you realize that when your mom get's here to help cut it up, it's still warm. (grass fed of course!)

I know I'm paleo when I do my tabata windsprints (thats flat out for 20 sec, rest 10 sec...etc for 8 cycles with my two pomeranians. I swear those little legs could outrun me. They are carnivore paleo also...nothing but liver, chicken, beef, pork and coconut oil or bacon fat for them. They look forward to their wind sprint sessions. And I love the looks on the fat neighbors faces that are out walking their fat dogs.

when a snack becomes a pound of bison jerky and a tall glass of goats milk.

Your brother and sister-in law stand in awe when you eat 3/4 of the rotisserie chicken and most of the chicken bones. They won't even let their dog eat chicken bones they tell me. Granted, some bones are a little to big to chew on so they are saved for broth, well....you know.

Resurrecting this question because yesterday I was laughing a bit at myself as I drove to see Diane @ Balanced Bites give her Practical Paleo Seminar, I was listening to my Robb Wolf podcasts and had packed my snack bag with hard boiled eggs, almonds and coconut flakes. LOL.

• When you run around your basement barefoot, and 'jump' over the elliptical machine you once spent 45 mins on.

• When you look for pemmican at the variety store.

• When your idea of an 'energy bar' is a stick of butter

...when you carry a can of sardines in your purse at all times.

...when all you want for your birthday is grass-fed meat and fish oil.

...when you openly cry because you spilled a bowl of beautiful bone broth on the floor in the kitchen at work.

...you say SAD goodbye and never look back

(Not there yet)

... When you carry a sweet potato (wrapped in syran wrap) in your purse "just in case" there are no paleo options, and your kitchen isn't available!

... Hey, they last a long time in there!

when... you take the time to read through this entire thread, both pages, comments and all, because you can relate to every single one and find them all to be motivating and helpful!

You know you're a Paleo when you gather your own dandelion greens from your backyard and you don't wash them before you eat them

When you eat steak, eggs, and steamed cauliflower for breakfast and it keeps you going all morning and thensome

...instead of junkfood hiding in your sock drawer or desk at work, there is now extremely dark chocolate and beef jerky. Hidden especially well if there are other "hunters" (paleos) around.

...when your idea of proper food is "meat on a stick"

...you start wondering if your poop resembles Paleolithic (Wo)Man's poop and whether or not it should float or sink.

Sidenote/Answer: Paleolithic Man's poop probably never floated or sank. I'm sure it was left in a water-less hole in the ground before being covered up.

...your friends tell you you eat like an animal ...your silverware collects dust ...you ask for the fatty steak ...your friends dont what to ask for a ; ...ordering at a restaurant is meticulous ...drink heavy cream with your raw milk

When finding the bag of giblets in your whole chicken before you stick it in the slow cooker is be best part of your morning.

(Fried 'em up with eggs and shared them with my cat ^_^)

You whip out a grass-fed beef burger from your purse... And when you dream about crunching on fish bacon.
