I had never heard of the Paleo-diet, but it sounds more palatable than the Vegan. I am a big fan of meat and I don’t really want to give it up. I do believe in eating a more organic diet.

I follow a more Paleo “ish” template and have found it to be great. I did a little vegetarian and vegan trial a couple years back and it was ok. I agree, both diets promote lots of fruits and vegetables and shun processed food. To me, that’s what counts most. I personally feel better on limited grains, more meat and higher saturated fat consumption. But we all need to find what works best for us. Keep up the good work!

I have been a vegan for only 1 month and have already lost a bit of weight but I can’t tell you how much better I feel. I have more energy, I don’t get that “mid day drag”, I definitely recommend vegan, although I’m a bit biased, being that I already thoroughly enjoy vegan meals. Its not a totally rough transition for me. I chose vegan for a few reasons, mostly because I want to know what I’m eating, meats are pumped of who knows what. I have a few vegan recipes on my site if your interested!

Thanks for stopping by! I agree that paleo diet is definitely easier to pull off, but I do wish more research had been published about the long term effects. Are eithical reasons what motivate you to be a vegan?

At least, in terms of ‘strictness’. It’s difficult to justify avoiding leather, sugar that was refined through bones, lard, and gelatin if you’re not doing it out of an ethical motivation. Vegetarianism, or something resembling it, is much easier. I haven’t done anything with Paleo, but several of my friends have had very good experiences with it and it was not such a difficult transition. Good post!

I taught my mom how to do it and she loves it, but my sister who’s never exercised can’t stand the idea of running so hard! If it works for you, then awesome! Let me know how Insanity goes!
Thanks for stopping by!

I always think this is a good way to keep not to eat too much.

It’s really good, so far! I like the fact that you can burn just as many calories and ‘feel the burn’ but do it in half the time.

I think you bring up an awesome point… whether or not someone who, after a long day at work, is actually going to go to the gym (or home) and do this. Considering I don’t have a ‘real person’ job (I’m in school), I can’t say for certain that I would keep this up once I do have a job. Depending on how long it takes to get from work to home in rush-hour traffic, this might be really hard.

On the other hand, I think it might be doable simply because it IS your same work out but in half the time. I think that is something that would make me see it through, because instead of staying at the gym for an hour, I could stay for maybe half or 40 minutes, and still have time for dinner/friends/chilling at home.

Great post, and thanks for sharing about Insanity! I had never heard of it, but now I want to try it!
