Paleo

My BP was 100/62 today, the lowest it has been since I was in high school. I feel good, but I am curious if the tweaking of my diet is responsible. Five years ago I was pushing the hypertension range.

After doing some googling on lower PB w/ Paleo dieting, it appears to be a not uncommon result.

This is an awesome Paleo Pumpkin Pie recipe. My wife has made it a few times now, and it is honestly better than normal pumpkin pie.

Don't use the stevia extract, and you don't need to make the whip cream either - it doesn't need it.

Enjoying a Red Bridge beer right now, and it dawned on me maybe I should share it. It's not completely "paleo" but it is gluten free, and tastes suprisingly good.

Also, I have a few recipes that I need to put up here as well, I'll try and get on that sooner rather than later.

This past weekend marked the 30 days that I have eliminated alcohol with the exception of one drink a week. My motivation was more about trimming my budget. I have noticed that my sense of smell has improved and I also sleep better. The first week was kind of weird, but the desire to drink daily went away after about 5-7 days.

I have also discovered dates and figs for those times I want something sweet. A few dates or figs and a handful of raw almonds and I am good to go as far as snacks are concerned.

Since I posted an "intro to paleo" for my current Future Soldiers a couple weeks ago, they have lost a cumulative 94 pounds thus far. And it's not like they all had a bunch to lose either, they all met the standards for enlistment.

I have been looking into the Paleo diet (a.k.a the cave man diet)

I have heard that the basic ruleing on the diet is you eat things how they come. (i.e. you pick some fruit and you then consume it if you have to put the food threw some type of process to get something different its not Paleo food, like mixing egg and flour to get pasta)

So after reading about that all breads and pastas are out, my question to you Rangers and Non-Rangers cruising this forum, is RICE on the list of Paleo friendly foods?
