Looking for some Primal/Paleo Friends
I've been a member of this group for a long while now and I've begun refocusing on going primal. I know I feel a million times better while eating this way and I lose weight with much less effort and struggle. So I guess I'm just looking for some people I can send friend requests to that will be able to relate to the initial struggles of cutting out gluten and most dairy. Most of my real world friends and family think I'm insane for even attempting this even though I know it makes me feel good.
For now, my game plan is to do bulletproof coffee for breakfast and then I try to fast until 1-2pm and then I have a protein and fat focused lunch, and then some protein, fat, and some starch for dinner. I have to admit that the fasting until 2pm is the hardest part for me. I work in an office and I'm not always busy so my mind wanders to food and I start thinking about how hungry I am. I've made sure I don't have any of the bad foods waiting for me to snack on while at work - which helps me stay true to primal, but I feel starved by noon on average.
I'm really looking forward to the part when the sugar and carb cravings die down. Today (day 3 for me) has been especially hard. A coworker brought in my favorite donuts and I was able to turn them down but when she brought up her lunch of Special K cereal, all I could think about are those bars made with that cereal with peanut butter, corn syrup, with a chocolate and butterscotch top layer. That has always been my weakness and I could never stop at just one and so I just never make them and it's rare to be somewhere were someone has, but man, I feel like I can just taste them! So yeah, looking forward to when that urge isn't as strong at least!
