Lost Almost 40 lbs on The Paleo Diet image

I have been on the Paleo diet for 1 year. My weight when I started was 262 pounds. I now weigh 226 pounds. My wife knew I wanted and needed to lose weight and did research on the Paleo diet. She is a wonderful cook and came up with great meals using Paleo recipes. I have been on what seems like every diet known to man with limited success. I now consider it a lifestyle not necessarily a diet. People ask me all the time how I lost so much weight and I proudly say the Paleo diet. Yes there are sacrifices but with these results it is more than worth it. My doctor said that my bloodwork shows how well I have done as well, in all areas.
Let me know if you have any questions.
