In the thick of the diet, I'm going to need to change it up a bit. And rename it to Revised Paleo, or, as Darren likes to put it, F*** the Paleo Diet. Trying to decide which name to use as the Blog title... :-) This diet is just causing too much stress, along with everything else going on in my life. It's been very interesting to follow this diet, but I really need to introduce some loving foods back into my life. I've been just too grumpy (and so obviously tied in with the diet) to make this ...

Well, to be honest, this just isn't going as well as I thought it would. In fact, the results I was expecting based on what my personal trainers were telling me, are the exact opposite results of what I am experiencing. They said I'd be happier (I'm much more grumpy), I'd be more energetic (not really experiencing that; I feel depleted if I wait more than a few hours to have food), I'd have clearer skin (it's worse), and I'd sleep better (having a much harder time falling asleep - I usually f...

I've stuck with the diet today, but I'm feeling a little defeated by my current "obsession" with bread. Timed with yesterday's bad mood and feeling weird, and then how good I felt after eating the Red Grape pizza, I have sort of psychologically associated bread (crust) with happiness, haha. Here is what I ate today: 10 am - 1 hard boiled egg, 1 date 12 pm - 1/2 chicken breast with pesto (no oil, no cheese) 2 pm - 1 hard boiled egg, Fuji apple 6 pm - Ground turkey patty (so juicy and good!) with s...

Today is going down as the day that I bought a beautiful LEXUS HYBRID! Whoo hooo! Amazing, so beautiful. I don't know how I'm not outside driving it right now. Only problem that happened today was that I was unable to eat until 3 pm, and I was completely lethargic by the time I did! Oh, and since I was so lethargic by the time I ate, it just wasn't sufficient and I ended up cheating for dinner... I know, I know! But I feel oh so good now! See below: 7:30 am - 2 eggs with olive oil and pepper 12... Continue reading ...

Woke up this morning and decided to weigh myself to discover that I weigh 112 pounds. WHAT?! Even in high school, I weighed 118-120 pounds. I know weighing doesn't matter as body fat, and how your clothes fit, etc, but I'm still feeling pretty accomplished right now!! I can't believe how much FAT (good fat) I'm eating, and how I'm actually losing weight. SO amazing!! I think the loss of alcohol calories is helping, too... And the personal training! 9 am - 1 egg scramble with olive oil (steak,... Continue reading ...

This isn't hard at all! What are you all talking about?! :-) Just kidding, I have definitely had some (small) cravings for hummus, and pita bread... More to follow, I'm sure.

Paleo Diet

I have decided to do the Paleo Diet from September 21st to October 21st, with transitioning beginning September 17th. The Paleo Diet is truly a way to get back in touch with your inner caveman, as you are only supposed to eat items that a caveman could have found and eaten. This means no processed foods, first and foremost. I also cannot have sugar, vinegar, salt, potatoes, corn, rice, quinoa...Basically, the idea is that if a caveman could eat it without cooking it (although thankfully I get to cook my food as a 21st centurion), then I get to eat it. Oh, and did I mention no alcohol? The great news is that I get to eat all of the eggs, nuts, mean, fruits and vegetables that I want! I am really excited to try this out, as I truly feel this will be a cleansing (even the alcohol alone) experience. The diet is supposed to have numerous benefits; treats acne, improves BP and glucose tolerance, decreases insulin secretion, increases insulin sensitivity and improves lipid profiles without weight loss in healthy sedentary humans. This is going to be intense! Check back here to see how it's going...
