Upper limit for heme iron

The daily upper limit for iron is 45mg. Heme iron is better absorbed. Some say, that you absorb 5-10x more heme iron than non heme iron. So hypothetically, if all the iron in my diet comes from heme iron, does the upper limit stay the same or should I aim for a much lower iron intake to not risk iron overload?

[Question] Is my diet paleo?

So this started with my powerlifting coach recommending I lower my carbs to around 100g. At this point in time, I was counting calories, somewhere between cutting/maintaining, and ate a low-fat omnivorous diet, basically lean meat, eggs, vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta and bread. I had also done keto in the past and carnivore, but I found the negative symptoms from both too overwhelming. I enjoyed eating carnivore a lot, but like keto it impacted my strength and power very negatively, and additionally it messed up my digestion severely regardless of how much fat I ate. So in any case, I cut out the higher carb sources, and now I eat fatty meat, eggs, ghee and lard sparingly. I also eat vegetables with my eggs preworkout and potatoes with meat after training. In the evenings I eat like a carnivore to satiety. My carbs are somewhere around 100g daily. If this works it’s really the best of both worlds for me - I get enough carbs to fuel my training and I still get to eat like a carni...

Paleo 2021 goal help

Hi Paleo Peoples! I suffer from some medical issues and my doc advised me to try paleo and it has helped me so much! Over the past year or so I’ve had a rough time and at this point Ive fallen away from it completely. I live with someone who is not interested in improving their health and there are many tempting foods around. This wasn’t an issue last time I was full paleo and I am nervous. Planning on getting through the holiday and starting fresh in 2021. Would really appreciate any tips or info about what worked for your transition into paleo and what I can do to start prepping now. I am planning on putting aside some extra grocery money to stock my pantry as much as possible for my first week/month. I will be working from home and will be able to cook more. However, I do like meal prep as the longer I’m in the kitchen the more I snack ha, so it’s better for me to have some things like lunches already prepped. Did you go paleo immediately or just phase non paleo foods out of your...

[blogspam] Olive Tapenade (gluten-free, paleo, keto, low-fodmap, whole30)

I love having a few “super impressive – but nearly zero effort went into this – dishes” in my back pocket to bring to gatherings. Mostly because I love delicious food, but also because I appreciate having my ego fluffed while doing the bare minimum (the person that replenishes the chip bowl will always be a hero in my eyes). This Olive Tapenade fits the “super impressive, minimal effort” description to a T. It’s the kind of dish that you can spend less than 10 minutes on, but will always be met with “oohs” and “ahs” and “oh, you fancy!” comments from anyone who eats it at said gatherings. This Olive Tapenade combines the briny umami of green and Kalamata olives with a punchy hit of citrus, garlic, and red pepper that seems to go well with just about everything it’s paired with. Please note the skip-to-recipe button at the top of the post in case you want to skip the cooking advice and get straight to the recipe: https://whipandwander.com/olive-tapenade/ submitted by /u/whipandwan...
