Fed up with my body!!
Hi Guys, I am a large boned lady and weigh 11st 7.. Even though I look fairly slim and toned, I would really like to lose some body fat, but find it virtually impossible. I am 45 years old and have an 80% healthy diet. I want to eat healthily but drop body fat the healthy way. Any advice would be really welcome. Thank you

Hello, I’m 43 and was 160lb until a year ago. Switched to low carb/primal – cut grain and sugar out, upped fat, protein and veg and now 125lb. Good websites: nom nom paleo, marks daily apple, mumsnet low carb forums.
Did a lot of strength training – Jillian Michaels DVDs good for home, cut body fat to 18%.
Typical day eating: full fat Greek yog with nuts and berries, chicken avocado spinach salad with olive oil, lamb and feta meatballs with big salad and tzatziki/ steak and green beans/ prawn stir fry, green tea, masses of water, dry white wine or vodka slimline/soda water and lime.It works for me but everyone is different. Good luck 🙂

Hello. My husband and i have had a paleo lifestyle for over a year, i can say the metal fog that lifted was huge, that was mostly from stopping eating tons of preservatives, but my husband lost 40 lbs just by cutting out the starches and adding tons of produce. Just thought id say paleo is a fantastic way of eating, best of luck to you!!

Maybe we should start a paleo/primal/poler thread shoogstanley? I’ve been amazed how well it’s made me look and feel – and yeah, energy and strength levels are so different.

Yes go ahead!! I would love for more people to know how good you COULD feel:) it’s so different from person to person as to what the specific needs are, paleo is just so well rounded!
