The detox is trying to get rid of all sweets, including naturally occurring ones. My sugar intolerance happens with all sugars, including fruit. Bananas are the worst offenders. Last time I ate a banana I had to take a Benadryl, I thought my mouth was on fire and I had hives everywhere. </p> <p>@renee: I've upped my nut intake for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reconciling-the-amount-of-meat-consumed-going-paleo#post-1757386 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:03:54 +0000 JoJoGirl 1757386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paleo doesn't have to be meat-heavy. The important thing is to eat a lot of nutrient-dense plants, and you can get protein from eggs, nuts, etc. I eat lentils for protein even though it's not technically paleo. I'm trying to wean off heavy meat-consumption because I don't think it's necessary- but no diet says tons of fruits and veggies are unhealthy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reconciling-the-amount-of-meat-consumed-going-paleo#post-1757367 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:01:13 +0000 renee 1757367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't have to eat meat to be healthy! I'm a vegetarian and (when I'm being good), I completely avoid processed sugars. I'm unfamiliar with a sugar cleanse, do you also not eat fruit?</p> <p>Try eating more legumes and nuts for your proteins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reconciling-the-amount-of-meat-consumed-going-paleo#post-1757364 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:00:57 +0000 mrsjazz 1757364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheReelDeal: I'm not going Paleo full-time so beans will be back soon! </p> <p>@blackbird: I thought blackbirds only ate berries and worms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reconciling-the-amount-of-meat-consumed-going-paleo#post-1757347 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:58:01 +0000 blackbird 1757347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't paleo, but i eat a lot of meat. Meat makes me strong. Roar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reconciling-the-amount-of-meat-consumed-going-paleo#post-1757341 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:54:36 +0000 TheReelDeal 1757341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I went Paleo 2 years ago, I was already a pretty heavy meat eater. Paleo forced me to consume more nutrient dense vegetables though and not just corn :happy: </p> <p>You can always modify it to fit your lifestyle. It you like protein from beans, eat beans! I eat cheese, and rice. Those things are not strict Paleo but I don't care! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reconciling-the-amount-of-meat-consumed-going-paleo#post-1757331 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:51:45 +0000 mrsjazz 1757331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing the 21-Day Sugar Detox currently (on day 8). I didn't do this to lose weight, though that is an amazing benefit. (I have a weird sugar sensitivity, my face and lips get hot when I consume certain sugary items, it has gotten worse this year and now I break out in hives when I eat sugar, too.) </p> <p>There is just so much meat! And eggs! I'm glad this is just for 21 days because I feel like I might need a meat detox afterwards.</p> <p>For those who eat Paleo, did you eat this much meat already? This is going to sound weird but I can't wait to eat beans again. </p>
