“pesticides from regular fruits and vegetables are just as bad as eating junk foods” not even close! Maybe don’t indulge as much on the dirty dozen, make sure you wash, and maybe peel most of the pesticide ridden skins… but if you eat quality food, your healthy body will be better able to flush the bad stuff.

I rarely eat organic because I usually just can’t find much of it. All I eat is fruit and some veggies right now. Mountains of them. I’m healthier than ever and feel like superman.

“I wouldn’t even know which part” Heart and liver are the main two. You could go for lots of stuff like tongues, brains, lungs. Render down the fat for use in cooking. Have to get the organs out of the animal pretty quick after shooting though, or they will be unbearably “gamey” tasting. When I catch salmon, I eat everything(eggs, heart, liver, head, tail) except the intestines fresh. Half the time I forget about the body in the freezer.

Here is a good example meal. Finished Burp!

Ask. maybe ask if you can buy some, they’ll probably just give it to you though. Have your parents plant stuff that stores longer. Squash like zucchini last a very long time. I lived on them for months. Sweet potatoes, turnips, kohlrabi, beets all great too Carrots are dirt cheap. You can get 25lbs sacks of juice carrots under $10. Cook or enjoy fresh. Peel the non-organic carrots. They taste a million times better. I can actually taste the chemicals. YUK

My town is very small, but we do have a farmer’s market which I have never been to before, so I will probably check that out once it opens back up. We do not have a local butcher. The only fresh meats I get is what my father hunts and kills, but I don’t want to be rude and hog all of his meat that he worked hard to get. I have asked if he would give me the organs, but he shoots the deer in the heart, so that one is out of the question. He normally just gives me a strange look, and asks me why I would want that part. Honestly, I wouldn’t even know which part is which, and what to do with them. lol.

The grocery stores are really the only places to get anything around here, and I can’t travel to another town, because I carpool. We do not have any bulk-type stores or health-food stores around here.

There is a person that lives up the road from us that has a big garden every year, but I’ve never even talked to them before. My parents have a garden, and I get fresh tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and bell peppers every year, but that’s about it. Oh, and there’s a huge patch of blackberries that grows around my house, but I am never able to get to them in time, because the deer eat them. I’m thinking of just picking them prematurely next year.

Grocery stores are expensive. I shop them as little as possible.

Find the real butchers in your area. See if you can get organ meats for cheaper or free. If you don’t like organ meats… get over it! Muscle meats are not that special and have less nutrition.

Don’t even worry about organic. You can’t afford it. It’s much more important that you concentrate on the main point (eating whole foods). Stay away from other expensive stuff like nuts etc… Paleo diet really isn’t that expensive of a diet (food stamps are plenty adequate), unless you get into the cookbooks and that garbage. Gourmet is where the costs start adding up.

Get a cheap Crock-Pot if you don’t have one. I see them at places like Walmart for under $20

I lived paleo for two months without buying groceries. See Survival Months

“Humans are the only species that still drink baby milk through to adult-hood.”

I’ve always thought this was a lame argument. The only reason other species don’t continue drinking milk, is because Momma forces them off her tits. Then she dries up.

“Raw milk may be better than pasteurized”

They don’t even compare. As far as I’m concerned, pasteurized milk is not even food. It’s a food product. No different than sugary cereal.

There is absolutely nothing un-paleo about sweet potatoes. Eat them.

“We advocate that Paleo Athletes obtain their carbs from non-grain sources such as yams, sweet potatoes, fruits, fresh fruit juices, dried fruit and vegetables.” ~ Professor Cordain

Even hard core paleos know milk is the way you add beef. They use it to make their gains, whether you hear about it or not. Do bodybuilders admit to using roids? Ever seen the bodies of a hunter gatherers? They’re not a beefy bunch

P.S. I thought I had lactose intolerance. I went no dairy for a while until I found out it was only pasteurized that gave me problems.

Thanks for the tips.

I used to live off milk and ate plenty of sweet potatoes. I learned a long time ago that dairy, meat and certain other foods would help my gain weight very quickly.

My goal with this transition is to follow as close as I can the foods recommended by the Paleodiet. I understand your desire to continue with dairy consumption. It tastes great! and it’s packed with plenty of calories and protein.

Humans are the only species that still drink baby milk through to adult-hood. (And we drink another species milk) Raw milk may be better than pasteurized, but our ancestors had no access to either one until the age of farming.

Here’s a great list of Paleo foods: http://altmed.creighton.edu/paleodiet/Foodlist.html

Again, thanks for the tips. I had never heard of Chia seeds for consumption before your site. I have some coming in the mail tomorrow. Can’t wait to try them out!

Take care,

J

1.) Eat more

2.) Why did you ditch the sweet potatoes? They’re perfectly ok and primal despite what anyone says; unless you’re trying to lose (which you’re not).

3.) Add dairy for an easy way to boost calories. Heavy cream, sour cream, fatty cheeses, butter. Generously add it to everything.

4.) Drink RAW milk. As much as you can afford.

5.) Upping fruit will put weight on you, but I can’t really recommend it.

Slightly less on a primal diet, but calories do matter!

Love your website! Glad to see someone still hunting out there. Whitetail season is the one thing that usually brings be back home every year. Question? Most of your transition info pertains to those wanting to “lose” weight. I’m trying to gain some back. I’m down about 20 lbs from what I would consider average weight for me. Any suggestions on calorie rich Paleo meals or best type of fat intake. Without my sweet potatoes, brown rice, wheat bread, pasta and milk I’m wasting away! It’s the end of week 2 for me and I def. need soem advice!

Thanks,
Jeremy

Other things I’ve noticed to help: Fasting, when I drink more ACV, and staying away from nightshades (lots of tomatoes specifically).

Cod liver oil made a big difference too. I started that back before primal. I recently upped my dose to 3Tbsp a day since I’m starting to Tri train again.

I’m dieting right through Thanksgiving on The 6WC So it will be a medium sized portion of dark turkey, some salad and Kombucha for me.

Once I stopped baking “paleo treats” on a regular basis (and using them for snacks), things got a whole lot easier. I could probably go back to eating them with control, but why? I’m happy with my delicious boring meat and vegetables

Thanks!
