We seem to have quite a few on here having good to great success with this style of eating and I'm looking to have some of the same. Post them up...
Recipes. Alternatives to off limit foods. Opinions. All things paleo. GO!

1st attempt this morning was very good. And I have a quick breakfast for most of the rest of the week. I used hot sause on them. In lieu of ketchup. I use a MASSIVE amount of ketchup and trying to back off of that. Salsa would be good too.

6-8 eggs depending other ingredients
4-6 cups total of whatever you like. I did sausage, spinach, jalapeños, carrots, onion.
That's it for ingredients...
I cooked a half a roll of spicy sausage (as if there's any other kind) in cast iron skillet, set it to the side, drained grease just leaving it wet but not puddled. Dropped in 1 cup shaved carrots, half a small onion, 2 diced med sized jalapeños to brown a little. Added about 2 packed cups of spinach the last min or two. Loosely put that mixture in a muffin tin coated in Pam and then poured in 8 eggs beaten with a little salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder evenly into each cup. Cooked in a 350 degree preheated oven for about 17min.

That's pretty much what I do with everything Johnny. No set recipes or ingredients, just toss some chicken breasts or pork chops or turkey or steak on the George Foreman grill, dice up some vegetables (usually a variety of peppers), sometimes dice up the meat, toss it in a skillet for a few minutes and add seasoning if needed. I set all of the meat on paper towels to absorb any grease for a few minutes.

My big thing was cutting out bread, vending machine stuff, chips, muffins, etc. I haven't cut out cheese though, gotta have my cheese. Went from 227 down to 183 with really little effort. I never got as committed as KGD, but I am happy with the results.

After starting at the gym I'm back up to 188, but feel 1000 times better than I did this time last year.

Grains and dairy will be a BIG BIG BIG struggle for me...I don't really snack or eat much "junk food", I eat plenty of crappy food. Just not much chips, candy, cookies, ice cream, sodas or stuff like that.

Yeah, cheese is too difficult for me, but I seem to be doing just fine with it. Eliminating the grains, I thought that would be really hard but after a week or two it wasn't hard at all. Now I just get funny Looks when I strip the bread from a chicken sandwich or something.

Oh, and soda. Gave it up too.

Can't even begin to explain how much better I feel every day.
