Why did I select the name "real life paleo"

Primarily, we live in a society that is not PALEO friendly. Applebees, Acme, food source, whole foods, qdoba, wendy's, (even) starbucks, 7-11, etc. The list can go on forever. For the few (thousands actually) people have to strive to de-conform to the SAD. I'm not trying to go primitive, or am I, but the extend of my "paleoism" is being done in  real life. Yes I eat grass fed, free range, cage free, no hormones added, non-sorbate prunes, almond butter, and bacon- tons of bacon, but I do it with real life in mind. If I go out to eat (which is becoming less and less) I'll say "hold the potato, but double the veggies". I was actually away last weekend and went to IHOP (gag... but it was for a good cause). Ordered up the 3 egged over-hard with hash, toast and 2 pieces of bacon. I kindly asked the waitress (side note- we were in canada) for " 3 eggs, hold the toast and hash but substitute with extra bacon and add peameal (canadian bacon). IT WAS DELICIOUS !!. Mean while I watched others gorge themselves on stuffed french toast with cream cheese and down chocolate milk one after another!!! The others were actually in disgust with my meal due to all "the fatty meat!" LOL I just looked at my husband and chuckled! anyway!!

So, real life paleo to me means that your aware of the MONSTROUS amount of benefits that paleo has to offer, but know enough that life happens and it's all not peach's and cream (coconut milk cream). I hope to provide and enlighten you to living in real time while still maintaining my paleo lifestyle!

what do you think? Any questions for me??
