Over two weeks ago I started eating Paleo. I wanted to learn how substituting foods from my regular diet with paleo foods would affect me physically, mentally, and financially. I made sure that I was consuming the same total number of calories from each diet to guarantee the results were truly unbiased. The following chart shows a typical day of eating while I was following each diet. It compares my meals side by side so you can get a better understanding of the foods that I have switched out and their replacements.

I swapped the grains in my regular diet with fruits and veggies. I replaced my whey and dairy proteins with additional meats. This switch ended up costing me an extra $5 per day of eating Paleo. Was the switch to Paleo foods worth it? Check back on Monday to see the comparison of my results while following each diet. In the meantime give the Paleo diet a trial run and let me know what you think!
