Same here. But some ingredients call for oil.

 

a quick pic of some of the heathier alternatives that we use in our house.



Liquid aminos - replaces soy sauce
Mrs dash is great because it doesnt have salt
I use agave nectar as a sweetner in my coffee
coconut oil - all around good stuff and has many health benefits
Local honey - I love honey! I also have bad allergies so I use this to help relieve some of my severe symptoms
Sriracha - I love hot sauce...any kind really. Cholula is my favorite though. It contains vitamin C and will also speed up your metabolism

EDIT to add: I was just doing some research on the liquid aminos and Im pretty sure I wont be using them any more.

I hate trying to avoid salt. I love my seasonings on steaks and what not. Hot sauce also has an abundance of sodium. I guess I can't really CUT all my spices/seasonings out so I'm not doing full paleo.

But, 1 week in I have lost an inch around the waist, 6lbs and my skin/health feel better already.

 

Congrats!

I just read this

FINALLY! A list I can read without seeing 800 comments about why each could and couldn't be considered paleo.

But, I still use hot sauce. May not be strictly paleo, but guess what? I'm still losing weight. Salsa also is in my diet.

 

I make a batch of home made salsa once a week usually. I might have an addiction.

I like to grow all the proper ingridients to make my own during the growing season but we are in a stage 3 drought so I dont think Ill be growing a garden this year

 

What program/app are you using to track your intakes? I'm using myfitnesspal to track my macros. If you get behind in tracking, it can ruin your day when you find out what your at.

 

i don't know what paleo is and have no interest to find out. all i do is count my calories and macro nutrients.

 

We are in a drought as well up here. I really need orders back to the pac-norwest so I can get this stuff more readily. I miss farmers markets that have more than meat and potatoes.

 

me too myfitnesspal is the shiznit.

 

I eat taco bell twice a day 5 days a week . I dont really watch what i eat i just dont snack at all unless im bulking.

 

Ahhhh, to be 18 again and eat whatever I want and keep a 6 pack.......the good old days! Keep up the good work brother, when you get older you'll have to clean up the diet though!

 

This.
The only thing you need to really do to lose fat is to be in a caloric deficit. To put it very basically.

 

lol I could eat toxic hell (taco bell) every day as well and not gain a pound but that shit is not healthy by any means...

 

Yeah im kinda ready for that day, i still cant bulk up or put on weight :/

 

That cantina bowl is good tho

Anyway here is today's intake, cutting has been shitty, eating too salty getting too much water retention. too much school work not enough gym time.

 

You will man, just stay consistent......you have a pretty decent build now, you don't want to look like a puffy bodybuilder! Stay lean and thick, no offense to bodybuilders.

 

Were do you get your protein shakes from? 74g of protein per scoop wtf?

 

the site is retarded its 39g per scoop and its a big ass scoop
