So in my case I'm eating mostly beef, with some pork, a bit of chicken, a bit of fish, and an avocado or two a week. I eat lots of smash burgers, usually beef, sometime pork at work with good sea salt, pepper, and sometimes cheese. I'm eating cheese by itself as well. I feel good on the cheese but I'm pretty sure I would lose weight faster without it.

I'm also not avoiding any spices currently.

Anyway I'm down about 10 lbs since I started, but also putting on muscle while maintaining about the same schedule.

I may go more paleo at some point. But I was at a point where I really needed a healing diet to break up the mitochondrial/ metabolic/insulin resistance dysfunction.

I have better energy, I'm sleeping much better my heart rate is lower and more regular, my breathing is back to normal for the first time since I had Covid, my low level depression is gone, my brain is working better, it's all the same thing and it's all getting better. And I don't have the all over achy stiffness like I did with general muscle inflammation.
