Hey everyone! I'm a student and chose the Paleo Diet for a research project. Turns out, I need to have 3 interviews for the project and don't know anyone who is one the diet or is an expert. So, I really, really, really need your help here. If you could just answer these questions that I have, that would be great (please answer with at least a couple sentences if you can, I need more than just a few words). If you could specify if you're an expert or someone who's been on the diet, could you let me know? Two things that you don't need to do but would be helpful. A name would be nice to have, but if you aren't comfortable giving that out, I understand. Also, if you could email me the answers, just in case I had any follow-up questions, that would be amazing. If you aren't comfortable with that either, simply replying here would suffice. Thank you so much! My email is mschilling20@gmail.com

First, what exactly is the Paleo Diet? What's the reasoning behind it?
What foods can you eat, and which ones do you stay away from?
How difficult was it to stick to this diet?
Have you ever strayed from the diet for a day, or a meal?
Does the diet work for everyone?
How expensive is the diet?
How long have you been on the diet? What differences did you notice?
How do you encourage yourself, or others, to stick to, or join, the diet?
Does this diet work fi you want to gain muscle? Or is it only for losing weight?
How much exercise, if any, is recommended?
How much longer does one live while on this diet?
What kinds of side effects, if any, are there? Have you had any?
What are the benefits of the diet?
Have you tried any other diets? What makes this diet the best one?
Some people say this is a fad diet, what would you say to them?
Can you eat more if you exercise?
If cavemen died young, why should we eat like them?
Don't we need fiber in our diets?
Shouldn't we eat raw meat, instead of cooked meat, like our ancestors?
Should you take supplements with this diet?
How much fat should be in our diets?
Is there a difference in any part of the diet based on gender?
From a list of most important to least important, which foods/drinks do you cut out?
What else can you tell me about the diet?

Thanks again everyone!
