I've never really paid a lot of attention to most diets and their names, like Atkins or Paleo and so on, and to be honest I wasn't even entirely sure of what exactly was "in" and "out" with these diets.
Then just a few days ago I was watching a show on TV that was explaining the "Paleo" diet, and I realized that it's pretty much identical to what I'm already eating, with the one exception that I don't exclude dairy. So I decided I was "Lacto Paleo" and surprise surprise, and when I googled it I found that really is "a thing". Anyway, just thought it interesting that LCHF, at least in some forms, does overlap pretty neatly with Paleo.
Here I was thinking that I just followed a boring "medical" diet to my control diabetes, then suddenly I realize that for the first time in my life I'm actually following a "trendy" diet. Just wondering if I need to grow my sideburns and update my wardrobe and sunglasses now?
