Oh my Paleo!

Yes it is really amazing with a capital A!

I've used various sites just by browsing around and searching but I really do like nomnom paleo and I like paleo grub. What I really did was buy the paleo food items and do my home work about what to eat and what not to eat, then I started making up my own recipes. For example, for lunch today I have:

Grass fed chicken and bacon that was cooked in coconut oil / bacon fat.
Chopped it up and added chopped (raw) red pepper, onion, celery, kale, spinach & arugula, carrot and mushroom and apple. Then I mashed it all together with some avocado and stuffed it all into a raw red bell pepper. Can you say yummy? In the morning I pretty much stick to my egg omellette with veggies and whatever meat I have laying around. The other day for a treat I wrapped some bacon around a honey crisp apple and fried it. It was soooo good.

Hey Kelsey,
Good for you and good luck! If you want to add me as a friend we can compare notes.

I'm glad that you're going 100%. With the few items you mentioned it should be pretty easy for you. I was a peanut butter junkie and quite honestly I have no cravings for that or sweets of any kind anymore. The combo of healthy fats and proteins eliminates the need for your body to produce cravings... When you think about it it makes perfect biological sense. If you are eating 100% paleo there is very little waste, it's all foods that your body needs for basic functions and your body will use every nutrient contained in those foods. It needs nothing else.

Starting this Saturday I am going to eliminate sugars entirely e.g., Paleo approved like fruits and honey... Yup, fruit is good for you but I'm starting an 8 week challenge and want to see if I can do it.

It's been two weeks for me and I feel incredible. I no longer count calories and yet I'm losing inches, ounces and even pounds. My muscles are increasing as well as my energy and endurance. Not to mention the benefits of healthy fats like wicked nice hair and skin! I've noticed in the last few days that I seem to be glowing haha! I'm loving this nutrition plan. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. Oh yeah I do... if everyone went 100% Paleo there would be no need for sites like this LOL

Haha... all funny comments yes
But if you haven't actually tried it, your opinions are of no real consequence here.
The scale doesn't lie.
Obviously if you eat too much of anything you're going to gain wait. The bottom line is one automatically eats less because it takes much less to fill you up. I know that my breakfast is around 300 calories and quite honestly I don't even think about food, or feel hungry until around 1:00 or so... I don't need a snack because a website tells me I should have a snack and I don't have to think about timing of my meals. I simply eat when I feel hungry and stop when I feel full. It doesn't get any easier. I used to eat greek yogurt a lot, it was my go too for a snack, breakfast, etc. I researched and bought the real good stuff... Sky Icelandic. Yup, really expensive but the highest protein and lowest sugar on the market. Anyway, since giving up dairy a few things have changed... no bloating, no hunger for that morning snack, basically an overall better feeling in my stomach. No, I am not intolerant to any certain kind of food or dairy. That's just one small example. I would challenge anyone who is skeptical to give it a try, just for a week. Experience it personally and then form an opinion.

I imagine a life span of 33 healthy years is better than a life span of 60 years when the last 30 are spent battling cancer or some other disease caused by too much of a good thing. Plus we're not running around trying not to get eaten by dinosaurs LOL
