things to improve your trainings/weightlost : Drink ALOT of water Sleep well (at least 8hours a day) and at biological hours (dont go to sleep at 3am, sleep is less effective) exercise EVERYday (if salary remains steady like you say, you have plenty of time to do so) only running wont do it. you actually need to solicitate muscle much more to generate body changes (fat into muscle) you need to do at least endurance training with weights (id suggest your bodyweight - pushup chinup pullups dips - are a great efficient way to do it without paying gym) as for your diet it could be simplier: eat alot of vedgetables/fruits, whole grains (brown rice/wheat/bread), lean meat(turkey and fish). cook with oils (olive, peanut, canola, coco will do it) not butter. Skip salami/ham avoid redmeat if possible (1 time per week is recommended). If you eat sugars better go with brown sugar or maple sugar that are healthier than rafined white sugar. take tea instead of coffee. dont drink alchool/smoke cigarette. and you are good to go if you train aswell. Good Luck! i wish you the best. | ||

Hey, Sheth! I know this is long, but PLEASE, for your own health's sake, I hope you read this one; it could be important. It's not trashing paleo; it's more about the symptoms you felt before starting it and the problems they could indicate that could still be ongoing. First off, big congrats on your positive life changes and your positive reaction to them thus far. That's a really huge, important part of making these kinds of plans succeed, so I hope that you can maintain your optimism and enjoyment. BUT, more importantly, *please* consider having your blood glucose levels measured by a trained physician ASAP. I, too, am overweight (270lbs at 5'11), and I have been for half my life (I'm 26 now). I used to get similar symptoms in the evenings: bad headaches, restlessness, plus stuff like numbness or tingling and shortness of breath. I chalked it up to being unhealthy, and, like you, learned that eating a candy bar or similar would make it stop. When I talked to my doctor about it, though, they had me tested for diabetes. I don't have it, but I do have a condition colloquially known as pre-diabetes. The long and short of it is that my body has developed resistance to its own insulin because I have eaten carby, sugary foods for so long that my glands had to produce insulin constantly to regulate all the sugar in my bloodstream. This causes my cells to start to ignore insulin's commands to process the sugars, resulting in the sugar staying in the blood for too long and building up, leading to symptoms of *hyper*glycemia. Eventually, my body realizes what's going on and floods my system with a double-dose of insulin, which makes my previously apathetic cells kick into gear and say "Oh, shit, yeah, we should really break down all of this sugar out there, huh?" So then they break it all down at once, crashing my blood sugar and leading to symptoms of *hypo*glycemia, which is what I was feeling at night. I'd have to constantly drip-feed myself carbs and sugar to keep things mostly level, and I'd been self-medicating without realizing it for months or years. But unfortunately, doing so was only increasing my body's resistance to insulin. In many cases, this develops into full-blown diabetes when the pancreas just gives up the fight and stops making it altogether. If you caught yourself in time, this switch to a low-carb (and especially low processed-carb/sugar) diet could be just what your body needs to get back in shape with regards to blood sugar and insulin, but if not, you could have already developed diabetes, and not treating that properly can lead to all sorts of really awful problems down the line for you (anything from crippled eyesight to organ failure and gout). You've got a salary and friends/family to support you. Please take the hour and copay it'll cost to go to a doctor and let him or her know you're concerned about your night-time headaches/restlessness and the "need" to regulate it with sugar (because, in the end, healthy as they may be, the berries you're eating now are still just sugar to feed the bad symptoms into quieting down). It might be nothing at all, but for us big guys, you really can't be too careful!! ------ And just in case you're concerned, I've cut back on refined carbs (it's all whole grains and high-fiber items like oats, beans, and quinoa now) and sugar (no more late-night candy bars) and I'm working out 30/min/day, 3-4 days/week now. I haven't lost much, but for the first time in a long time, I'm keeping my body happy and it's stopped trying to kill me right away, so that's good | ||

EDIT: the guy above me is right, please get that checked my father had the same issues with headaches, and it turned out that he had let his blood pressure and other blood based issues scale too far over his life. You are young, get a thorough physical, this comes from seeing my family members have the same issues snowball too long. | ||

My wife is trying to use this Paleo diet to feel more healthy and lose some weight while still nourishing her latest pregnancy, my brother used a combination of massive fruit and vegetable consumption and Brazilian Jiu-Jutsu to drop from over 300 to 240ish. I am overweight (6'0 295, working on it) but still feel generally great because I am a food snob and culinary perfectionist. I eat quality food, but have trouble managing amounts. The exercise is a big issue, as I was used to both eating and expending tons of energy in sports, then after college retreating to a more sedentary lifestyle while keeping the same caloric intake. Then whenever I would start exercising again, I would get more hungry than ever. Your balanced approach seems perfect. I don't personally know you, but if there is anything that I would add to your plan - learn how to cook, especially food from other cultures. My family has a rule - we never go out to eat unless they can cook it better than me. Cultures that haven't been as assimilated into typical Western culture are more likely to have a comprehensively nutritious diet from their local habitats. To whit - my cousin brought back a curry recipe from Nepal that blew my mind - in 22 years I hadn't tasted anything like it. Coriander, Cumin, Turmeric, lots of spices that are full of flavor and goodness. | ||

(Sorry if that was kinda rude, I figured it funny at this time, PM me if I was wrong. Edit works too, but I'd like to apologize as well.)In spite of what I've seen people saying, diet is about 70% of weight control, the other 30% is exercise. Can't shovel garbage into a hole and expect that spraying Fabreeze will solve the smell. Additionally, this diet seems almost like a Ketogenic diet, but allowing sugar/starches. I know for many of my friends "Keto" works when done properly, but the first few days are pretty tough, afterwards you have excessive amounts of energy and you feel a lot better. What "keto" does if anyone is not aware is it removes starches/sugars from your diet entirely, and forces the body to burn fat for energy as opposed to sugars and carbohydrates. I am very, very skinny, can not gain weight for the life of me and have done this diet many times to support others, great thing about it is the same as this current one you're (Sheth is) on is that you can eat as often as you like since it's all protein and vitamins. | ||
