My first comment is how did I gain a pound in one minute without eating anything? And I was doing so good having lost another three pounds this week. Three pounds of muscle apparently.

I think I am eating too much meat for my activity level. But looking at the menu less meat will make this a tougher diet to follow. A lot of what I am eating now comes from far, far away and that will only increase if I reduce the locally produced meat which will make the Paleodiet rather un-green.

The Neanderthin guy did say this diet is now possible largely because of the variety available in our supermarkets. I’m curious as to how viable this diet would be if the poor countries start keeping their food for their own starving people rather than selling it to us? If I was only eating foods that could be produced in southern Ontario minus the evil corn, potato, rice, beans and wheat, I know I’d be staring down the barrel of a very boring plate but how healthy would it be? Especially if I got all immoral and stopped eating animals? Not that that’s gonna happen.

I do have that dry skin issue like I had when doing the hypo allergenic diet last year. The eliminated foods in common are wheat, corn, potatoes and dairy. So it’s got to be something there. I’m guessing dairy. Why? Because I like cheese :)
