Asthma is gone and so are my seasonal allergies. Plus I lost weight and I'm not constantly tired anymore yay.

What's the biggest/best change you have seen in yourself by being Paleo?
Biggest changes I have seen- losing 16 pounds in a matter of 2 months. It's literally melting off of me day by day, week after week. Also I have had not one case of my regular seasonal allergies that hit me whenever the seasons change. I normally wake up everyday with a stuffy nose but I have been so clear since eating this way. Also after the dreadful winter we had in NY everyone was getting sick- this time last year I came down with sinus infections/fevers/flu-like illnesses about 4 or 5 times from December through March. This past winter I only got sick ONCE and that was before I started eating this way! I also have changed the way I think about food. It's become less of an "emotional" experience for me....I don't have intense cravings anymore and when I do eat I eat because I am hungry (but not starving) and not because I just feel like it!0 -
