I keep track of what I eat at dailyburn, and since I have the free membership I can't keep track of my sodium or potassium. But that's ok, as I've been eating low sodium foods for a while, and take potassium citrate supplements to ensure that I don't fall short. I also take a calcium/magnesium/D3 supplement, from Citracal.

I'm 5'4", and weighed 135lbs back in February. After cutting back on sugary foods, cheese, starches like pasta and bread, I made it down to 125lbs. I'm super happy with that weight, am back on track with a normal BMI. I'm sedentary but have always been thin, so weighing 135 pounds really felt horrible. I got that way by having a poor diet, and sure enough, lost the weight by dieting. Hooray! I'm not looking to really lose any more weight--this is a maintenance diet.

I started Paleo this past weekend, and will continue looking for ways to cut the crap out of my diet. The only thing I drink is water (10-12 glasses a day), but occasionally I'll have a glass of red wine with dinner. I haven't drank soda or tea (iced or hot) for almost a year now.

So far this week I've felt really good. No tiredness in the afternoons, my poops have been large and normal (a type 4, if I remember correctly) so I'm getting plenty of fiber. No blood in my stool from my hemorrhoids all week--yay! I've also lost another pound, unusual considering that I normally retain water in the days preceding my menstruation (due today or tomorrow). I'm also less bitchy than what usually comes with my PMS, and haven't had an acne breakout which also tends to precede my period.

I have it listed in bold for each day in grams, along with calories, protein & carbs.  

Is there a fat-burning dietary fat intake range I should aim for each day?

Nope, not trying to lower my fat with my meats, not intentionally at least! When I cook something in the pan, I use coconut oil. And for the fruits and such, I haven't experienced any sort of spikes or crashes during the day (which I would if I'd eaten grain-based carbs like I did on Thursday for lunch--ugh). And the mango juice is actually mango puree mixed with some apple juice (so it isn't too thick to drink), so it's not the pure sugary goodness that most juices are.

For dinner tonight, I made cornish hens stuffed with minced apples tossed with cinnamon, and basted in an orange juice/coffee/spice mix. I took a half a peeled orange and pureed it whole, added a bit of water and strained it. So it's definitely not the juice from a carton! lol Alongside the hens, I roasted some small carrots & baby red onions, tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette & coconut oil sauce.

And I cook my poultry breast side down for half of the cooking, so the fats from the back work their way down into the breast meat. Juicy!

Oh yes, if I cook a whole chicken (or hen, as they're easier to eat whole), I eat everything. I like getting the skin nice and crispy and just peeling it right off and straight into my mouth. Om nom noms!

In a perfect world I could get roasted chicken skin at KFC.

Your diet is the retort to the BS I get when people insist that paleo or low crb diets are boring. Baby red onions? Never heard of them. I'd eat them like grapes.

I buy old cookbooks at thrift stores. Wonderful recipes, especially those published before the 50's. All natural and they didn't fear animal fats.

Too much prot. impedes weight loss for me. I try for at least 75 grams a day, but not much higher.
