so confused about food

I am not sure why you are doing the paleo diet. Is there a specific reason for this?

I always think that a balanced diet that incorporates all the necessary vitamins and minerals is best unless there is a reason like a food intolerance.

I also add some supplements like vitamin K2, D3, magnesium, zinc and calcium. Some foods that are helpful for osteoporosis include prunes, avocados and kiwi fruit. There are others as well. It is good to research online for information about diet and exercise.

Protein is important too. If you can eat meats from animals that eat grass is also advised by some people.

There is also abundant information in the posts throughout the osteoporosis threads on here.

All the best.

I think grains, legumes and dairy are all important and needed in a balanced diet. If you trying to lose weight I would advise a balanced diet and exercise.  But I do not know whether you have food allergies or intolerances.

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to figure out.  I get hypoglyceimic reactions to many high glycemic foods.  Doctor said to eat fruit only in mornings and WITH protein.

She out me on diet of NO flour, no rice, grains, no dairy, no legumes, no sugar, now no night shades, oh and no potatoes, no soy. Sure enough I lost a lot of weight, but I still have inflammation pains. 

I now do eat some dairy occasionally. Sip buttermilk for probiotic effect, and sometimes plain yougert.  On OP diet that's ok since they are more alkaline than acidic. 

Problem with legumes and grains is due to our soil being so over used and toxic pesticides, I think she thinks they are not as nutritional as once was. 

As for cheese, I personally think some sprinkles on a salad of eggs should be ok. If your body reacts to them with pains, then maybe no.  Or if cause bloat in stomache, then perhaps your tummy not digesting it well and that might not be good. 

Im trying to listen to my body, though I still tend to ignore.  Now when I go for a cup of coffee, though I only drink maybe 2-3 ounces, but my esophagus or upper stomach will feel a gurgle, as if trying to tell me, no, do not eat that. Ha. 

I love red meat, sometimes I have absolutely no problem or reactions to it, but sometimes I do get bloated feeling. 

And yes, now my blood pressure is low so I use more salt. 

I've found a yougert made locally that has many, many more active cells in it compared to the typical store bought brands.  I've heard that is key. Organic is best of course but hard to find. 

Sugar should still be cautioned against. I'm not saying cut out totally because it's hard to do, but try to find other ways of enjoying sweets, like dates, or honey based things or real maple syrup perhaps. That bleached processed stuff...ugh...silent killer in my opinion.  It's so sad they use sugar in so many things.
