What is Palio diet and how effective is it for weight loss?

I could write a book on losing weight and make millions, it would only be on page long and read : Eat healthy, exercise - The end.

They did that. Didn't sell.

Write a book telling people to cut out certain foods for certain amounts of time and stick to all kinds of rules and they will lose half their body weight in a month. They sell.

I like the idea of eating like a caveman, but I don't think they were into weight loss. The bottom line is if you eat very little and move around a lot, you will lose weight.
In fact starving yourself is the only proven diet that will prolong your life. Your long, hungry life. lol

What on earth does this have to do with BTC?

To have a successful book in today's world it seems it doesn't matter what is written - and what science might or might not be behind it - but what celebrity wrote it...

I have my own diet:

1)  I only eat 2/3 of what I put on the plate.
2)  Go to the gym and hire a trainer.  Work out 3-4 hours a week with a trainer or in a class.

You'll definitely lose weight.

Paleo diets are based on a simple premise—if the cavemen didn’t eat it, you shouldn’t either. So long to refined sugar, dairy, legumes, and grains (this is pre-agricultural revolution); hello to meat, fish, poultry, fruits, and veggies. What you eat and how much depend on your goals or the specific program you’re on, if you choose to follow one.

Is it so hard to just have a healthy died and don't eat too much? Do you have to eat like cavemen?

Paleo / Slow Carb worked for me for a bit. I mean the basic concept of not sucking down so much bread and sugar is a good one. But the only lasting weight loss i've had is from calorie counting with short bike rides everyday and now Weight Watchers with the same exercise. Averaging about 8lbs a month.

I gained a lot of weight as a result of meds I was on. Unfortunately I cannot exercise due to exteme pain and muscle dysfunction.

The counter this, all I did was simply (1) cut back on carbs and (2) eat more veggies and fruits and (3) no eating after dinner. This affects me particularly because I'm a night person: I have little appetite during the day and a huge appetite at night - not sure why it just seems to be baked into my genes (also hotter at night, higher energy, increased heart rate, etc.) Yet avoiding food in the evening does not seem to increase my appetite during the subsequent day. Not sure why though.

Ended up losing 25 lbs pretty fast with these simple changes. Unfortunately, now I'm under my target weight and too skinny, but that makes some sense since I cannot bulk my muscles at this time.

My conclusion is that dicipline is what matters, and small/sustainable changes can have a big impact over time provided you follow it to the T. Anything extreme just doesn't work, for many reasons...
