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...
