[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you noticed any difference in energy levels after eating this way? [/quote]
Yes, I feel amazing on a paleo diet + regular exercise. I never felt this great on a low-fat diet. I can't quite manage Whole30. It's so healthy but too restrictive for me.

I think of every meal as being one protein plus one vegetable. Just this mindset helped me a lot in terms of meal planning. [/quote]

Can you give examples of different breakfast, lunch, dinners that you do with this concept?[/quote]
These are some of my staples.  I usually try 1-3 new recipes each week, depending on how much time I have, but these are the ones I rotate through on a pretty regular basis.

proteins:
sauteed chicken breast (sometimes I cheat and coat it with egg whites and panko bread crumbs)
baked salmon (I found a great coconut mango sauce at Whole Foods that I use as a dipping sauce)
beef tenderloin 
marinated flank steak
halibut or other white fish crusted with macademia nuts
meatloaf (leftover meatloaf makes a great breakfast, surprisingly!)

veggies: 
I roast almost all of my vegetables.  It just makes them so delicious.  Sometimes with coconut oil and sometimes with olive oil.  Sometimes I'll add a sprinkle of fresh parmesan for the last 2-3 minutes.
cauliflower (can add curry if desired)
broccoli
green beans
sweet potatoes (not too frequently but I love them)
butternut squash

I will saute mushrooms, zucchini, onions, garlic, and bean sprouts with some soy sauce (sort of like the Benihana vegetables).  I will saute brussels sprouts with bacon lardons and finish with a splash of balsamic.  This is AMAZING!  I could eat it all the time, but the bacon pushes the fat content up, obviously.

I am not a big salad eater.  If I were, things would be easier!  But for some reason, I really prefer cooked veggies.[/quote]
