My goal is to get lean and get all of the sugar out of my life. I've been on a combination of ZC, low carb, Belly fat Cure, South Beach since Christmas and I have lost 16 pounds.
I am currently 170lbs and 5' 11". I was a avid runner until November when I developed tendonitis in my lower leg. I have been doing some intermittent fasting and my leg feels better. Might go out for 3 miles later. I have no known diseases except acid reflux. I drink lots of coffee straight and red wine/light beer.

Lately I have been listening to Paleo Solutions Podcast and reading stuff on PaNu.com.

What worries me the most about this diet so far is that I cannot afford grass-fed beef. There is a farm near me in Spring Hill, FL, but I calculated a quarter of a cow would cost about $600. I started taking 2-3 g Fish oil with meals, but it gives me bad stomach cramps. When eating SAD, I never had that problem. So how can I balance out my Omega-6s? Omega-3 eggs? sardines? wild salmon once a week?

This morning I had:
2 eggs, 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese, crumbled pork sausage fried in Ghee and three 3g Carlson's fish oil.

All of those are good.

Or is there a person on here who follows it to a T and writes it down?

Well, Tarlach eats about 2 lb of beef each day and not much else.

I used to have tendinitis in one arm; gelatin seemed to help.

Well, Tarlach eats about 2 lb of beef meat each day and not much else.

I also often eat lamb, pork, fish, chicken, or other seafood 

...but yeah it's pretty much just one meal of 2lb of meat each day.

I am doing a borderline low carb / caveman diet. When I reach my goal, I want to switch to "The Paleo Diet for Athletes." In the meantime, I'm gathering and hunting for info.

Your macronutrient ratios look great!

Are you drinking the sodas because you're hungry? Or just out of boredom?

Just be aware that diet soda is definitely nonpaleo.  Among other concerns, artificial sweeteners can cause insulin spikes even if they don't have any calories.

Well you're definitely not eating Paleo yet.

Cream cheese, sandwich thins, sour cream, tortilla, diet soda. All very non paleo, especially the sandwich thins.
