I'm out of work, broke, and eating paleo is a challenge.

I'm not broke nor am I rich, but I shop by the weekly ads from three different grocery stores. I can't afford or access to grass fed beef so I substitute the best I can with fish oil from Costco or Sam's Club. I like the buy one get 1 free chicken breasts and other kinds of meat. If you have a Winn-Dixie, they have great specials on meat.

I also intermittent fast and that saves money, but it takes time for your body to adapt. I started just once a week.

I'm not rolling in it either.  Luckily, veg is pretty cheap, much more so than fruit, so I buy a lot of that - courgette, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, garlic, squash, turnip, swede, parsnip, betroot etc.  I buy the lot, and it's really useful for padding out meals.

When I don't want to splurge on a nice fruits of the sea mix i just get mussels - £1 vs £3 for the mix.  Then add veg and coconut milk (50p) and curry paste, ginger, lemon grass and cook up a curry that will do for 2 meals.

Know what else is cheap and very paleo?  Kidneys and liver.  You can get a small amount of lamb chunks, pad it out w kidneys, onions, carrots and parsnips to make a nice rich stew.

The only grain I have eaten in the past 2 weeks is a haggis, which contains oats and barley and...sheeps lungs.  Very very cheap.  I reckon if I'm going to have a bit of the grain, may as well eat it in a believably paleo way...

Wish I could bring myself to eat organs. In 38 years I've tried 4 times. And vomited 4 times.Today:am: coffeeafternoon: 2 eggs, cheesejust now: 2 thin boneless pork chops, 1/2 a cucumber, little bit of onion, oil

Wish I could bring myself to eat organs.

I love to eat liver and onions. Never ate it growing up until I went into the USAF and they had it all the time. I would love to try other organs if I can get them fresh and grass fed like beef heart and tongue.

I've tried hearts ground with hamburger & eaten on a bun, so it's more than taste. I have a deep psychological block. I'd eat cat  or dog, but no organs.

Sunday:am: coffeeafternoon: nutsevening: lots of bacon (no sugar added) & brussel sprouts w/ butter and cheesesnack: more nutsI am not hungry at all.

Dumb question, what does IF stand for?

Edit: Nevermind, just saw it as intermittent fasting on another thread.
