A female friend of mine was all gun hoe about paleo and was posting some of her meals. She was doing it to fit up/loose weight. One of the meals she bragged about on facebook was a rather large steak, wrapped in bacon with avocado and and onions. Hardly a diet meal IMO. Nothing inherently wrong with any item (well the bacon I would consider a treat) but she obviously doesn't realize that calories are king. I mean why wrap a steak in bacon and add avacodo to the mix. All high calorie foods when the goal is not to gain weight.

I like some paleo concepts but dont agree with the rigidness. You can live a perfectly healthy and extremely fit life consuming lugumes, wheat, potatoes, rice, dairy etc. I can even safely say that some processed food in moderation will not harm you or your fitness progress. Now people with allergies or sensitives is a different story.

Have you ever heard of IIFYM Mindy? Or myfitnesspal?
