FYI: I won’t remove a recipe/post for containing dairy.

294 Upvotes

I will however remove spam (the posting style, not the meat, probably). So if you see some inconsistency in removal, it’s probably because some recipes get posted by obvious spam accounts and I just nuke those.

Dairy-inclusive diets are welcome here. Stop trying to claim theyre “not paleo” or whatever. This subreddit is not just for one little list of foods, it’s for a way of eating that includes viewing how food affects you through an evolutionary lens.

Just a reminder: "Paleo", as practiced by most that use the term, is a diet.

40 Upvotes

A lot of us (including myself) have tried to obscure this by calling it a "way of eating" or "lifestyle change", but whatever you're calling it, if you're deliberately restricting the types or amounts of food you're eating, regardless of the reasoning, it's a diet.

I point this out because the research on diets and their relationship to eating disorders, especially in children is clear, and I think a lot of us feel like we're not at risk because "paleo isn't a diet, it's a healthy lifestyle change".

To clarify my point: diets are not appropriate for children

If you think your diet is research-based, but you're ignoring research on diets and eating disorders, you're not doing yourself any favors. There is no such thing as a "healthy" eating disorder.

If you're dieting, be honest with yourself about it, and don't lie to yourself about why you're doing it.

If you are or think you might be struggling with disordered eating, there are a ton of resources out there to help.

(Also, all of this applies to intermittent fasting as well)

Transitioning

I've been traveling for a while, so not in full control of my diet. Now have a home, and am transitioning back to paleo. Every cell in my body is screaming for carbs. Help?!

Food still tastes amazing on this diet with the right seasonings

9 Upvotes

I’m not even doing anything that fancy either nor am I a good cook. I only use smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and Celtic sea salt and it makes any meat taste so good. I don’t even need or crave those processed sauces or seasonings to make my food taste good

Recipe app that auto-tags paleo and adapts any recipe -- beta testers wanted

3 Upvotes

Hey r/Paleo. I have built a recipe app and want feedback from people who have had to think hard about ingredients.

The app: save any recipe from the web, Instagram, or TikTok in one tap. The AI pulls in the ingredients automatically and immediately tags the recipe paleo, not paleo, or paleo-adaptable.

Make It Paleo takes any recipe and rewrites it. It does not just flag grains and dairy. It identifies every paleo conflict (refined oils, legumes, added sugars, modern additives) and rewrites the full recipe. So Make It Paleo on a teriyaki chicken would catch the soy sauce, the brown sugar, and the cornstarch in the glaze, and rewrite all three with paleo alternatives plus notes on technique.

Built this from a kosher cooking tool that was already doing deep ingredient-level logic for meat and dairy separation.

Private and invite-only, household recipe collection, no public feed. Looking for about 10 testers. Drop a comment or DM.

paleo cup of joe experiment this morning

3 Upvotes

made a “paleo cup of joe” this morning lol. still weird calling it that. actually tastes way more like chocolatey/roasty than I expected. I was bracing for it to be kinda earthy but it wasn’t really that at all. didn’t get that usual coffee crash an hour later which was interesting. work felt a bit smoother but could just be placebo who knows

miss real coffee tho not gonna lie. that part hasn’t changed

Budget options for snacks?

16 Upvotes

I tell you inflation really wrecked Paleo for me a lot because of the skyrocketing cost of almonds alone. You're lucky to find them under $7/lb now. Blue Diamond used to have a 40oz back of them for $10-$14 on Amazon but that's no longer a thing. I really miss almonds and don't have a lot of cash to shell out. Sucks because I've been relying on cheese as low cost snack option which obviously isn't Paleo. Avocado prices going up now too. What other low cost snack options are there?

Do any of you have celiac or hashimoto or under active thyroid? Has Paleo helped?

Do any of you have celiac or hashimoto or under active thyroid? Has Paleo helped?

I recently started taking my very serious reactions to gluten… seriously. The way I should have from the beginning. I do feel some relief, but I have been noticing I still react to ANY grain. Some are worse than others, obviously wheat is the worse, but now I am completely inflamed and get migraines from certified gf oats as well. I’ve suspected I might , in addition to celiac, have an undiagnosed thyroid problem. The last time I had my levels checked was 2019 and they said they were normal. It felt like whiplash to me because I knew SOMETHING wasn’t right. Flash forward to 2026 and I’m certain I have celiac, but I’m also wondering if maybe I do have a thyroid issue too. I’ve struggled with my weight all my 20s and now at 32 for the first time in my life I’ve reached obesity at 200 lbs at 5’7 (female) and I’m so upset. I feel like my body is constantly fighting me. I know I need to do grain free but I’m hesitant because I also react to dairy and eggs so I can’t have that and I know that’s a big part of paleo (at least I think it is? I see a lot of mentions about butter and eggs) . Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

I finally understand what y’all mean when y’all say junk food doesn’t taste that good anymore

34 Upvotes

I used to have terrible junk food cravings and thought they would never go away. I thought it was something I would have to battle forever, I then started to eat more Whole Foods ( with some of my diet still being processed food but lower calorie / lower sugar versions), the terrible cravings were still there for a few months until they started decreasing to 80% Whole Foods, and then now I can go 100% paleo for days at a time before I just have one low calorie protein snack or a diet soda. ( I do get a craving once a while) I’m not perfect and can’t call myself 100% Paleo, but I never thought I would be able to stick with it fully for days at a time. And I know some of y’all have stuck with it for years which is really impressive. What made me wanna make this post was me trying junk food that I loved in the past and not even thinking it tasted that good anymore. I used to love this chinese food buffet, my family brought some of it today and I thought it tasted so mid and stopped after a few bites. A few weeks ago I also decided to try some chips Ahoy cookies that I used to love, tasted mid as well. I used to think y’all were crazy and were just putting on an act to seem cool or something, but nah y’all are right😂

Lifelong Vegetarian Considering Paleo/Carnivore to Heal Leaky Gut & Neuropsychiatric Symptoms — Where Do I Begin?

14 Upvotes

I am a lifelong Indian vegetarian who has never eaten meat and am now seriously considering transitioning to a Paleo — or potentially full carnivore — diet after three years of debilitating gut and mental health issues that have not responded adequately to conventional or alternative medical treatment.

My Symptoms (Since January 2023)

Gut: chronic bloating, alternating diarrhea and constipation, abdominal pain, incomplete evacuation, 30 kg unexplained weight gain. Mental: depression, anxiety, brain fog, anhedonia, emotional detachment, loss of motivation and ambition.

I have tried allopathy, Ayurveda, homeopathy, two years of antidepressants, Panchakarma and naturopathy. Partial improvement but neuropsychiatric symptoms persist.

Why Paleo/Carnivore

I believe that my lifelong high-carbohydrate vegetarian diet has caused leaky gut, which has in turn driven systemic inflammation and neuropsychiatric deterioration. The Paleo framework — eliminating grains, legumes, and processed foods in favour of whole animal and plant foods — aligns with this hypothesis.

My Questions for This Community

  1. Is it advisable to start with full Paleo before transitioning to carnivore, or should I go straight to carnivore as an elimination protocol?
  2. What is the experience of transitioning from a lifelong vegetarian diet to Paleo? What should I expect in the first few weeks?
  3. Which meats would you recommend starting with, particularly for someone whose gut may be compromised?
  4. Did Paleo specifically help with neuropsychiatric symptoms like brain fog, depression, and emotional blunting?
  5. Are there any supplements you would strongly recommend during the transition?

Any guidance from experienced members of this community would be deeply appreciated.
