I ate a very strict paleo diet a few years back, and slimmed down very quickly.
But the lack of carbs began to screw with my hormones, and it also led to extreme hair shedding. So I had to reintroduce carbs back into my diet, and everything slowly came back into balance.
I really wish our food supply wasn’t so ridiculously processed to the point where it’s all pure junk.
Every one of my friends that’s traveled to Europe is so shocked by how much they’re able to eat during their trips - practically living off of bread, cheese, wine - and come back having lost weight.
The meat you were eating possibly wasn't grass fed? Possibly was pumped full of antibiotics.
I think the safest meat here is lamb. Sheep don't eat much apart from weeds and the occasional handful of corn to get them where the farmer wants them. Their milk, too, is unadulterated.
I supplement my diet (meat, eggs, fish) with certain fruits and veg. Also minerals and vitamins. I avoid refined carbs. I'm still working on it to get my "leaky gut" problems sorted.
Possibly, but I also think women have different nutritional needs, and we can’t subsist on zero carbs for long without our hormones going out of balance
