Yesterday I was thrilled! I was shopping at Costco, putting all the most delicious things in my cart; butter, cheese, heavy cream, filet mignon, alfredo sauce, bacon, coconut oil.Things that on my previous diet I denied myself. Previously, on the "Paleo" diet, my cart was filled with quinoa, fruit, lentils, no dairy products.

I never lost weight on Paleo, and always felt bloated, yet at the same time, oddly unsatisfied and craving more carbs, shortly after eating a full meal. I was voraciously hungry at night, and my bedtime ritual included a raid on the fridge for a midnight snack.

Last week, I was under calories, after a strength training, came home, and had a small wedge of brie, with a large glass of water. I went to bed, fully satisfied, and had a long deep sleep.

I have more energy, and no mind fog. I feel sharper and stronger than ever. And I have been losing weight!
