They have similar things but they're intrinsically different. Paleo is not a diet based on the goal of losing weight. It's a diet/lifestyle based on the science of what humans have eaten for thousands of years. Paleo has a different view of food than South Beach. The foods do overlap, though.

There's plenty in the paleo world without nuts or coconut. Check out the cookbooks Well Fed and Well Fed 2 (my faves).

Day 8 Forgot to eat, so I didn't eat until very late in the day.Food:I keep forgetting to list coffee, but yeah, I drink coffee.BananaFried potatoes (4 or 5?), head of broccoli, onions, tomato, 3 eggs, and chicken.RxBarYeah, I'm probably not eating enough. Sorry, guys. I know it's a regular thing for me. I'm learning okay!Also, I have no money and I'm still waiting for my school loan. I'm living on $500 a month right now. D:Something of note: feeling pretty crappy the last week. I realize first week back at Whole 9 life is a big deal, but also I am close to my treatment for Crohn's disease so it's normal for me to feel a little crappy when my treatment is due.Feelin' good otherwise.

I usually win about 3/5ths of the time which is a good number.Went to the prerelease for the new set (at midnight) so I was up until 6am.Went 2-2 which is okay, but I didn't win anything. Still got new cards from the new set anyway, which is good.Day 6 Food:Chipotle bowl of double carnitas, guacamole, salsa, and veggies.RxBarPotatoes and eggs.Worked today.
