Paleo diet question
Im doing Paleo and I just researched today and found out that there are two reasons why we cant have corn:
1. Yes it is a grain
2. Its not actually a naturally occuring plant. In Paleolithic times there was no such this as corn. Corn was genetically modified and created by breeding a grain and a grass.

ASPARTAME
OK, so I have battled with severe acne for most of my life. Im 26 years old and started breaking out on my face when I was 10 or 11 and on my back and chest when I was 13 or 14. It never ended! What started out as probably teen hormonal acne turned into a life sentace. A little over a week ago I decided to go Paleo. It started out for weight loss but the more I read and research the more I want to do it for general health. Im tired of consuming nothing but genetically modified processed crap. I want to be healthy. So today I was watching youtube and playing on facebook and it hit me, Apsartame. Through lots of research about artificial sweetners and processed food I have learned how inflamitory it can be to our bodies and I realized that I have been addicted to Diet Coke for YEARS. I began consuming only Diet Coke when I was 14 and have been hooked ever since. When I say hooked, I mean it. Just the other day I stopped at a gas station to get a Diet Coke just to get inside and see that they only had Pepsi products so I got back in my vehicle and drove 3 or 4 miles down the road so that I could have Diet Coke instead. I even pick restaurants based on if they have coke or pepsi. All that being said, I am giving up Diet Coke and all Aspartame sweetend products. I have to see if that will be the thing that fixes my issue. I have literally tried everything else up to this point so what have I got to lose?? The other day I made a list over a page long of every medication, home remedy, off the wall crazy thing I have tried in the past.

Hoping this works and if it doesnt at least I have broken an addiction that served no purpose.

A new start
So I joined this site back in February and I was low carbing which I had done in the past and did very well on. This time was another story. I was doing everything right but I only lost 2 pounds in about a month. Needless to say, I gave up! Last week my wife and I decided (well, I decided and she went along with it) to do Paleo. So far so good! In the last week I am down from 213 to 207.8 and my wife has lost 5 or 6 pounds (im not allowed to know her exact weight lol)I would say that we are doing "part-time" paleo. We cheated big time on Friday night at a birthday party that was catered by an italian restaurant, I refuse to break free of my vice of Diet Coke and we have had a few items that are healthy and natural just not quite considered paleo. So far we feel better and we are actually losing weight! Hoping it continues and this really isnt a diet, its a complete lifestyle change( minus the diet coke)
