bravo to you – you will find that the Paleo Diet becomes a lifestyle. I have lost 40 lbs. on the Paleo-lifestyle. I have been on this different lifestyle for 19 months, been 98% pure. Rarely boring, more challenging to come up with different combinations. Good luck and keep up this blog. look forward to reading your progress
Im glad to see that it worked for you too. Im really happy on it. Thanks for the best wishes.
Great progress. I’ll bet you feel better overall, too. What I like about losing/maintaining weight with this way of eating (in addition to knowing it is much closer to how most humans in history ate) is that it doesn’t feel like a deprivation diet like low cal/high carb diets do. It isn’t really a reducing diet, it is a way to eat for life and good for everyone. Even my 10 yo son notices that the kids in school who have difficulties socially or academically, usually really poor diets, with lots of packaged foods and few homemade or fresh foods.
And it just gets easier to do all the time as the habits and mindset evolve. Though this summer we were in Italy (my husband ran a meeting there and so we met his UK & European family members for my MIL’s 80th year celebration). When we were staying in the cities, I found sourcing a good breakfast without a kitchen very challenging – the hotel’s “included” breakfast of a pastry, croissant, or roll with coffee was the default, even at cafes. Sometimes I had to go looking for a deli and pay a lot extra for a salami & cheese plate instead.
But as long as one is willing to get in the kitchen on a regular basis (which doesn’t have to be drudgery), instead of buying packaged and heat ‘n serve meals. And when dining out, choose quality restaurants over ones that serve institutional foods.
For me, the hardest part is dining at someone else’s home, where the dinner served up might be lots of pasta, garlic bread, and minimal or no salad or veggies. It has happened, though if in luck, the sauce is meaty and plentiful. While I don’t like to make too many off-course deviations from my eating habits, if it’s just one meal, I hesitate to ask an unknowing host to make a lot of special changes for me (though I might not sleep well that night if I have to consume a meal that is really off my usual. Luckily, most of my social circle already knows and can generally accommodate (or I skip the potatoes or rice), or I arrive prepared with an acceptable contribution to the meal.
