Hello doctor, Is paleo diet really good to lose weight? It appears that the paleo diet does not have anything much for vegetarians. I want to follow a paleo vegetarian diet to lose about 15-20 kg of weight. I am a thyroid patient and taking Thyronorm 50 mcg for the past 15 years. I also have high BP and taking Telma 40 after breakfast and Amlogard 5 mg after dinner. I was affected by Vitiligo about 10 years back and currently not taking any allopathy medication for this. I am taking one ayurvedic tonic called Lukoskin. I have highly irregular periods recently hence taking Ovral L to get periods on time. A few months I stopped taking the medicine and did not get the periods for the past three months. I have started the medicine again for the past 10 days.
Hi,  Welcome to Icliniq.com. Well, paleo diet is good in a sense of restricting your diet, but as you said you have irregular periods too. That means sufficient amount of nutrition might not be reaching your body. So better have some non-vegetarian food products which are excellent source of protein for your body. Fish and egg are good. It sometimes becomes quite impossible to remain away from protein-rich food items. Following a paleo diet with a twist of nonvegetarian foods involved might help. Include non-veg like two pieces of chicken with cabbage or other leafy vegetables and make a salad add olive oil and have it thrice a week. You can follow the same paleo diet the other days.
