Has anyone tried a paleo diet?

I had a look at and it looks like there are many benefits i am just worried about the vitamins i will miss out of on if i avoid milk. 

But why?

Why do the diet?

so i can get in shape for futsal 

I usually run a very low carb diet if i'm looking to drop some quick weight. No rice, no pasta, no potato. Keep sugars lows too, even fruit.

A lot green salad/veg and some form of protein. And a lot of eggs.

Basically keto.

Grew up in a family where it was pasta, potato, eggs, bread and steak,  that was it... nothing else. 

14 years after moving out i still struggle to eat vegetables and salad, its such a tough thing to do when you didn't know anything else. Having said that my daughter has a fantastic range of vegies, fruit, grains and everything else, though i still don't like the sweetness of fruit i always try what she's having to find new stuff.
Its tough, i know ill never have a proper diet,  there are so many vegetables that i consistently try to eat but i cannot keep down.

The problem with those types of diets is that they're unsustainable. Inevitably, you're going to cave in and want to have some bread or some rice. Barring yourself from eating a certain type of food or restricting yourself to only certain types of food is very hard in the long term. 

Instead, just work out your TDEE (google around for some online calculators) and subtract 300 to 500 calories from it (depending how extreme you want to cut) and count the calories of everything you eat. There are a bunch of good websites out there that will help you work it out, after a while you'll get good at guesstimating how many calories are in the food you're eating. If you can cut out all calories from drinks, eating at a calorific deficit isn't enormously difficult. 

Besides, I've seen a few of the physiques at some futsal comps and they certainly aren't fitness freaks haha

haha thanks for the reply i just want to try a more structured diet i find counting calories does not work for me. 

and i am surprised about the futsal comps you have been to i always see young kids who can run up and down and not get tired! 

pretty much but I never actually 'go into' ketosis so I just call it low carb

That's cos they're kids. That and do some cardio.  I work with a guy who is a big guy but has a massive tank

Mother in law had quick onset of arthritis a number of years back, the real debilitating one (rheumatoid?) and resisted the full on medication her doc was trying to administer. He said there was no other choice and that though her quality of life was to greatly change, the medication will offer some help. Instead she went down the paleo route and has managed it brilliantly just through diet. She does cave in sometimes and will get massive flareups that do some damage but when she sticks to an excellent diet, aside from really missing some foods, she has an excellent life.
And she can still drink brandy so she's pretty happy.

The key to that condition as well is to maintain an anti-inflammatory diet as well.   

Golly. I’m just imagining some 600 pound behemoth mashing away at the keyboard.  

lmao

hahaha xd 

Eat less. Go for a run. Pay me 10k.
