On my quest for a healthier and more purposeful life, I've decided to try my hand at the paleo diet. I've read a lot about it and so much of it just makes sense with me. I want to find healthy green foods that I like and will eventually crave. I need meat and protein keeps me level and stable. I've gone without meat before but I've found my body is more optimal with it. As someone who has had in-n-out twice a week and pizza at least once, jumping to a diet with no dairy or gluten is drastic. I'm a work in progress. I've been taking it meal by meal and trying to go two full days of paleo with a cheat dinner on the third day. This is by no means close to the 85/15 ratio I'm striving for but it's a step in the right direction for a struggling cheese and bread addict. Have you tried paleo? I'm looking for some tips!
Holls. You're inspirational. This morning, I had a bagel and it was delicious. I could never do Paleo. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI have been cutting out dairy myself and it is hard!! I love cheese so much. I have found coconut milk is a great substitute for milk.
ReplyDeleteI have been Paleo for a little over a year. I jump off every once in a while, but a few days back on and I know why I do it. There is a huge difference. My advice, don't let it confine your life or you will stray. Allow yourself to indulge. It isn't cheat days, it is a decision to eat what your body is craving. Always have food available and ready to eat. When you are not prepared, you will stray. You will love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! My husband and I have been eating Paleo-ish for over a year and we really like it. When we started out, we were much more strict with it, and it is challenging but it also makes you feel good and we both lost weight! (My husband has lost almost 70lbs!) Now we're at a point where we do try to eat Paleo at home, but then if we go out or on the weekends we relax a little and eat whatever we want. I have some more into/recipes on my blog if you're interested! Good luck! xoxo
