Arthur Stanley Eddington was a brilliant British astronomer whose work was instrumental in proving, mathematically and experimentally, Einstein's theory of relativity. Eddington is also remembered for an analogy he used to explain a complex problem involving sensory perception and scientific inquiry. He compared a fishnet to the human senses and to the parameters of an experiment. If the net has of a certain size, he said, we can predict what size fish it will catch, but we cannot assume that the net will catch everything in the ocean. Hence, differently designed nets will catch different objects. Human senses have the same limitations. Do do experiments.

Sometimes we put our faith in something that works for some but not for us for whatever reason. Sometimes we put our faith in something without any proof of any kind that it works - we simply need something to believe. But a belief that cannot be verified isn't a faith - it's a presumption. Paleo may work for you, but not for others. You may be gluten intolerant. You may be diabetic.
Calories and activity level are finite. They can be defined and moved, but only to a certain degree. So many other things are variables that will affect calories and activity level. Have you stalled? Do you keep blowing your diet because of what's in the house? Are you weighing your food? Are you on track with calories but it's still not working? (If you're not doing at least that, nothing else will work for you no matter how much you tweak.) Maybe it's time to change the parameters of your experiment. Maybe it's time to redesign your net. Maybe it's time to give up the particular diet you're on and try another. Don't bother with changing to another if you haven't been sticking to the one you're on now.
Don't lie to yourself.
