The only concern I have about your meals is the amount of almonds you’re taking in throughout the day. Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t nuts in general have similar properties and anti-nutrients that we are trying to avoid in grains, and besides macadamia nuts or walnuts, most other variants have high levels of omega 6′s? I was under the impression that nuts were ok to eat when beginning paleo, but they should eventually become a limited part of your diet. Maybe getting in the fat from avocado, coconut products, or uncooked olive oil would be better?

I agree. It was kind of coincidental that I ate almonds twice in a row. I’m mixing in frequently eating guac, walnuts, butter, ghee, lard, pecans.

Couldn’t help but notice the amout of fish oil capsules. I know everyone is different in the amount they need. I only take 3 a day. Should I be taking more ? I can never find a straight answer. Thanks cuz,

What type Kristen? It depends totally on the amount of EPA DHA in the pill. That could be enough….. or not even close to the right amount.

Omega-3 Fish Oil, 1000mg – 180 mg EPA / 120 mg DHA
I know I could be way off on what type I should be taking. Any advice is appreciated.

Hey Kristen:

I’d try to get 500 mg of EPA/DHA per 10lbs of bodyweight. So guessing you weigh 140, that’s 7 grams of EPA DHA. With the type of pill you are taking, that comes out to about 50 pills per day. I’d recommend buying a higher concentration fish oil pill Carlson’s Lemon Flavored Cod liver Oil seems to do the trick.

Thanks. Also, you’ll be happy to know I’ve been enlightened by your blog to try and LOVE grass fed meats from Whole Foods. I cooked my first ribeye last night and was in heaven.
