An end, or a new beginning
I originally started out to give Paleo a chance. Not as part of a greater challenge or to lose weight, just to see howI would feel if I put just a little bit better food in my body for a month. Here we are, day 31 and the results are incredible. Not only do I have more energy throughout the day, but I have lost 12-15 pounds and have not been starving myself. It took a little while to get used to not eating bread (and pasta) and I can tell you that my craving for icecream has still not been broken but overall the effects are superior to my old lifestyle and nothing like a diet. While I do plan to keep these eating habits, there will undoubtedly be some slip-ups. Fortunately in my 30 days, there was only one minor infraction to the diet, and I plan on keeping any cheats to just that, minor. As Easter sunday approaches, there is already a plan for pies and homemade icecream. While both of these will be made with super natural ingredients, I am sure the pies will be the worst of the two choices. I will try to stay away from them, and I don't think that will be much of a problem, but I have no intention of avoiding the icecream. I will just try to avoid the chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream, or sprinkles and stick to just one small bowl to enjoy instead of three or four to inhale. If I had any regrets, it would be not taking pictures from before, during, and now. I may have some video from workouts, but I will never be able to see the physical changes others have and I that would be most helpful. To all others who have considered eating like a caveman. I say go with it, stick to it, and you will feel better for it.
