Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

0

I recently started The Orlando Paleo Diet Meetup (www.meetup.com/Orlando-Paleo-Diet-Meetup-Group) with the intention of bringing together the Central Florida Paleo Community.

In Orlando alone there are at least 3 CrossFit Gyms (maybe more), a relatively bountiful agricultural scene (local meats & veg), plenty of parks and outdoor recreation (camping, lakes,etc.) and (except for a few blistering summer months) a blessedly moderate climate. Bottom line is that the area is pretty Paleo-friendly and there has to be more than just a handful of cavemen/cavewomen out there!

Our next Meetup is going to be a "Paleo Potluck" at a local park and the more the merrier!

	Good luck, and have fun! I recently started an Atlanta Paleo Meetup, and it has been an awesome experience. I've met tons of great people, and every event has been a blast. It truly has exceeded my expectations. I'd love to kibbitz about event ideas, when you get going! :) – Elizabeth Mar 31 2011 at 1:43
	Sounds like a plan Elizabeth! The group is only a few weeks old, but we're up to 12 "homo sapiens" and growing each day. I'm really glad to hear that it has been a great experience for you and we'll definitely need to stay in touch as things build. – FED at LiveCaveman.com Mar 31 2011 at 3:53
	Wow, another place I lived is forming a meet up. I move an miss all the cool stuff ;) I just left Kissimmee in the fall. Have fun. – PaleoCurious May 2 2011 at 17:37

	Sounds great Neil! We'll be hosting Meetups all over town, so feel free to join and suggest ideas/locations that work for your schedule. – FED at LiveCaveman.com Mar 31 2011 at 3:34
	Don't know if you can make it, but we're having our "paleo potluck" Saturday, April 23rd. You can join the group even if you can't attend by visiting meetup.com/Orlando-Paleo-Diet-Meetup-Group. – FED at LiveCaveman.com Apr 4 2011 at 12:06
	I am visiting family in Lakeland over the holidays. Do you know where to find paleo-friendly groceries? Namely, grass-fed beef? Thanks! – saiklón Apr 18 2011 at 3:19
	The only place I've found w/grass feed beef for sale is the Lake Miriam Publix, 4730 S Florida Ave Lakeland, FL 33813. But it is very expensive. Which is one reason I'm still eating grain fed beef. :( I've been able to get a lot of my veggies from Sams' Club, but Publix would be your best bet while on vacation. – Neil Apr 20 2011 at 1:30

Yes! I am in downtown Orlando and would love to go to a meetup.

Quick question, is everyone going going to be completely ripped? Hah. I don't wanna be the only skinny guy there.

Saturday, April 23rd, we're having a "Paleo Potluck" at Cypress Grove Park (about 10 minutes South of Downtown Orlando, just take Orange Ave. to Gatlin Blvd. and take a right, it is on the left hand side less than a mile down). Anyone in Orlando or the surrounding areas is welcome to attend, but I do request that you take a few seconds to go to our Meetup.com page (meetup.com/Orlando-Paleo-Diet-Meetup-Group) and join/sign up to attend. This way you can let everyone know what you will be bringing. For those who are interested, we also have the option of doing a Boxing workout pri – FED at LiveCaveman.com Apr 4 2011 at 12:03

Any Central Florida/Orlando Fl residents interested in a Paleo Diet Meetup Group?
