4 days of hungry, irritable Morgan, but come day 5 my stomach had adjusted to my new diet AND I am now even enjoying it!
The Paleo Diet is summed up quickly into lean meats, seafood, vegetables, fresh fruits, and nuts and seeds. No sugar, dairy, grains or non-real/processed foods.
The most important part of this diet (for me anyways) is being ready for meals ahead of time. I like the food, and I feel good when I'm eating healthy, but when I'm in a rush and there's no veggies or fruit cut up and ready to go it's so much easier to grab something else (like a sandwhich or worse...). That being said, I haven't cheated once! EXCEPT, of course, for my once daily coffee which I will not give up... it has cream and sugar in it.
I've found some AMAZING recipes here, and the favorite so far are the Paleo Candy Bars... they are a freaking God send, any craving is completely combated by them AND they're totally healthy which is GREAT. I made a massive batch and gave them to some of my fellow CF'ers doing the challenge.
Best part? I've lost weight already AND I feel so good, and it's only been 6 days :D
