#whole30 — Public Fediverse posts

Years ago, I went on the (terribly-titled) paleo diet because it worked for me. I had a lot of issues with grain, with lentils, and with a few of the other no-no foods on the diet. I had a terrible time finding any sort of restaurant where I could eat anything other than a plain tossed salad, so I was really excited when I found a restaurant that advertised itself as serving paleo foods. I went in and looked at the menu and was immediately confused. Most of the items didn't seem to be paleo, even though they were listed as such.

I called the waitstaff over to ask them what the bun on the paleo burger was made of. They looked at me like I'd lost my mind. "It's a bun? So, like flour and stuff?"

"But that's not paleo," I said. "Are there grains and such in the meat, too?"

"I don't know," she said. "I just cook the stuff."

I ended up leaving without eating because I couldn't be sure the food wouldn't make me sick. But seriously, how does the cook not know what they are cooking?

I don't eat nearly as restrictively now, but I do still have to be very careful with what I eat. My gut issues have a tendency of flaring up if I don't pamper them.

♲ @[email protected]: There’s no denying that the combination of briny anchovy, pungent garlic, tangy lemon, and smooth olive oil — plus crunchy yucca root croutons — is a luscious combination. Try this #Paleo Caesar Salad and see for yourself! #wellfed #whole30 http://bit.ly/2FsAlLd
