Carlaccini Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I was at a party on the weekend. I had a conversation with an aquaitace. A - You've lost weight - you look good! What are you doing? Me - Thanks! I'm eating only plant and animals these days and I feel great! A - Oh wow! I could never do that. I enjoy my food too much! Me - Politely smile while thinking - what?! you don't think I enjoy my food??? Same party - my very good friend who I left a copy of ISWF - Are you going to eat anything? Me - No. I really can't. Friend - Come on, you can break your diet just once can't you? Me - No. I can't (Besides all the pizza, pasta, and fried stuff did not even remotely even appeal to me - not to mention the effects it would have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxine Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 That is NOT a healthy breakfast or one that will help you lose weight. My boyfriend, staring disapprovingly at my roasted butternut squash and egg hash, fried in coconut oil. He was tucking into four English crumpets laden with strawberry jam (jelly, as you guys say!).

Dominique Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Co worker: So, when the 30 days of your crazy diet is up, are you going to eat normal again? Me: No, I won't be integrating sugar, grains or dairy back into my diet because I don't miss them. Co worker: Oh, you're going to be one of those people?

Dominique Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Roomates who eats pizza or pasta every single day: so you don't eat dairy right? Me: That's right.

heathera Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Me: well; I got the menu for our Christmas Company Luncheon, and they are having a salad, a roasted chicken with veggies plate, and chef's choice dessert. "Let's go! I'll give my dessert to whoever wants it". Co-worker (looking at me like I'm crazy): "Awwww...go ahead [and eat it].

Breanna Smith Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yesterday, I went to a Christmas lunch party at my boyfriend's work. I wasn't expecting to get to eat anything, but they had bbq, so I just had brisket with no sauce. My boyfriend's coworkers, who I'm also friends with, said, "Awww, I'm sorry you can't have dessert." Me: "That's okay, I'd feel like crap if I ate it anyway." My boyfriend, who is very supportive, said: "Before you get too down on her diet, Cristina (coworker), you should know she had ribs for breakfast." I made them in my crockpot. Delicious. Thanks, PaleOMG! Cristina replied, "Oh, so you fatten up around Christmas too, just in a different way, right? *chuckle*" Me: "Haha, Actually, I've lost about 10 pounds in the past two weeks."

Ayla2010 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 At my husbands work xmas party we were discussing paleo, and after explaining it to someone, she says oh I couldn't do that, I like my eating to be really clean. I was like erm, its very clean, and explained it again to her, and she is like oh yeah that makes sense. Then overhead some others making fun of another paleo guy that works with my husband, saying OMG he ate chicken wrapped in bacon cooked in duck fat for breakfast. I had to butt in because I know this guy lost 4 kg this week eating this way. People just annoy me sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLC1968 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a friend who told me last month that she was following Whole30 as closely as possible. I said that was great and got all excited to share recipes and hints and stuff... Then she felt the need to clarify: "But I'm not doing paleo, I'm just following the Whole 30". Huh? (I was so stunned I didn't respond but I really wished I'd pointed out that while paleo is not Whole30, Whole30 is most definitely paleo!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was so stunned I didn't respond but I really wished I'd pointed out that while paleo is not Whole30, Whole30 is most definitely paleo!) I can relate to this person, actually. I love the Whole30 because of the science and just plain logic behind it. I'm not so much a fan of "eating like a caveman (or dinosaur or grock or what have you)" as a rationale for my choices, so yeah. I might take advantage of the paleo label to narrow down a recipe search, but paleo isn't what I'm doing; the Whole30 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I can see the turn off to 'paleo' and that lifestyle, but the comment makes little sense since Whole30 is like the strictest form of Paleo. It would be like saying "I'm going to go follow Atkins, but I'm NOT interested in a low carb diet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like saying "I'm going to go follow Atkins, but I'm NOT interested in a low carb diet". It is a funny statement. Paleo to me means returning to whole foods.

It would be like saying "I'm going to go follow Atkins, but I'm NOT interested in a low carb diet". oh well, I guess we have a different point of view on this one. No offense meant, but for me Paleo is a diet with a lot of different connotations/definitions (google "Paleo Cheesecake" if you want to see what I mean), the whole 30 has a specific set of rules. If some versions of Paleo happen to have similar rules, to me that is more of a coincidence than anything else. It is a funny statement. Paleo to me means returning to whole foods. To me, W30 is Paleo but not all Paleo is W30. I would have asked what they meant. now, THAT definition of Paleo works for me just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
