It kind of depends. i started off real strict but now i've tapered off. I had a cupcake for my niece's birthday yesterday. I may have real coffee in my sugar one day and everything else paleo the rest of the day. I guess technically Kind Bars aren't paleo, but...whatever, I do eat those fairly often. The honey dijon almonds I eat probably aren't true paleo, either. And i have a glass of wine every evening. Although technically everything but the wine I had today was primal, so it was one of those days. But while that sounds like a lot of cheating, I do eat primarily primal! At least 80%, I'd say. I have been doing Insanity and/or Crossfit 6x/week, so the extras are not hurting me.

Lately, I am mostly just focusing on avoiding cheese, bread, pasta, excess sugar, bad oils...but making sure I stay in the 1500-1800 net calorie range.

I don't cheat that often. But when I do it has to be worth it. Like BLACKBIRD I am really focused on avoiding bread, pasta, processed sugar, soy, processed foods, and vegetable oils.

My meals at home are always paleo. When I eat out sometimes I'll have potatoes and not consider myself a huge cheater. Usually I end up having something with gluten at some point during the week. Most of the time it's for work since I have to taste as part of my job. If I have to eat gluten for work sometimes I double down and get a ridiculous meatball sandwich near the office. So effing good.
