I've been enjoying a paleo lifestyle for the past three years. I'm leaner, stronger, and healthier than ever. I find it easy to fast for 18 hours, and do so most days, then I eat my fill of meat, veggies, and a bit of fruit. While fasting I have good concentration and energy. I tend towards a high fat, low carb paleo diet, but in the summer I increase my fruit and veg intake. Given that I don't eat out at work, I make the majority of my meals myself. My mainstay protein is ground beef which is cheap and delicious. I don't follow any fitness routine, but often go for lunchtime walks and sometimes I swim on the weekends. The most understated benefit in my opinion is the freedom from modern dietary dogma. Many of my family and friends are also doing amazing with this way of eating. Feel free to me ask specific questions. Take care.
