This morning I’m launching a new series on Practical Paleolithic – Training and Paleo Diet Q and A!
So far, response to my new book, “The Paleo Dieter’s Missing Link,” has been great! I’ve talked to a bunch of people who have read it or are in the process of reading it and, so far, it’s helping a lot of people AND stimulating some different thinking in terms of Paleo diet and what it means to eat a “healthy diet” in general. In addition to the feedback, I’m getting lots of great questions too! And that’s where the idea for this video series came from.
Ask a Question, Get an Answer…
So, here’s the deal: Ask me your diet and training questions and I’ll answer them! Pretty simple right? I get so many training and diet questions by email and on Facebook that I thought it would be a lot of fun to make the questions and answers more available to everyone. A LOT of you have THE SAME or SIMILAR questions, so this will be a great way to archive things in a searchable way.
By the way – and people who know me already know this – I make no claim about being a guru or expert. I’m just a relatively smart guy who reads A LOT and tries A LOT of different things. And, I have about 7 years experience doing Paleo and working on the healthy lifestyle thing and about 20 years of weight training and fitness experience. Whatever your questions or problems, it’s a good bet I’ve either had THE SAME problem at one time or another, or have come across something related to it in my library and internet travels. So, ask away!
Here’s how to submit a question: Just send an email to adam@practicalpaleolithic.com and put your question in the subject line. That’s it!
So, ask away and let’s get this week rolling!

I started a diet and exercise plan in April of 2010. I have lost a total of 90 lbs so far. When I started this journey I was eating lean proteins and veggies, very little fruit. I would use whatever salad dressing I wanted on my salads. One of my trainers at my local Crossfit suggested I try her version of paleo. Its more like the ketosis diets. I have done her “lifestyle” eating for a month and lost 17.5 lbs and 8.5 inches (so its working!). I want to switch to paleo for the rest of my weightloss (40 lbs more). My question to you is do I just go ahead and switch over or do I ease my way into paleo? I am measuring my food now and eating a certain amout of carbs (from veggies). My fear is that I will gain back the weight I lost on her plan.
I do crossfit 5 times a week and usually run/walk 3-5 miles a day also. Any suggestions or ideas is greatly accepted!
Thanks for a fabulous fb page and blog!

I am 5’4” & 123lbs and I have always focused on eating healthy. SInce January I’ve been working out about 4x/week and since March more like 5-6x a week. I run every other day (anywhere from 3-6 miles) and the opposite days I do a 20-30 min video like 30 day shred (advanced level). I am also training for my first 1/2 marathon on May 1st so I’ve incorporated a few longer runs (8-10mile) in there the past month. BUT I am NOT happy w/the amount of body fat I have.
My food/diet is in check. I do however drink alcohol…probably 4 drinks 2x/week (fri & sat nights). I am curious if consuming alcohol can inhibit my body from burning fat EVEN if I work it off over the next two days (like, assuming I consume 800 calories of vodka Fri & Sat but burn it off Sun & Mon, diet remaining unchanged). What do you think? 🙂
Answered this one this morning. I’ll have the post up soon!
