I've been adding more carbs in my diet from sources like potatoes and rice. I don't consume them often, but often enough so I don't stay in a deep ketosis. Something tells me that my body needs a break from gluconeogenesis and some glucose from and outside source is like a welcome break for my metabolism. I don't think it'll harm my fat loss attempt. I seem to do fine with a bowl of rice krispies or a couple of sweet potato fries once in a while.
It was incredibly different to follow the paleo diet a la Arthur Devany. It's just not practical for me to buy that many vegetables. They're expensive and they go bad within a few days. Cream, bacon, eggs are my staples now. They are very cheap and a very rich source of calories. I never feel starved after a meal now.
Grass fed meat will be next change to my diet. I've been trying to consume less conventional super market meat but there's no good excuse not to go for grass fed if it's available. I found a family farm about twenty minutes away that sells pasture raised meat. It's more humane and way healthier so I'll make my way down with Heather to buy some meat and see how it is. It'd be nice if I could get some tallow too so I don't have to fry with butter and olive oil all the time.
The "Every Day Paleo" book by Sarah Fragoso is on the way and I should be getting in the next few days. It looks great and has an introduction to Robb Wolf so I'm looking forward to it. Looks like there's some great ideas in their to make my meals less boring.
