For those readers who are unfamiliar with Paleo basically you do a 30-day strict detox to kick-off a new lifestyle of eating. So as of January the only things that I have put in my body have been protein, vegetables, fruit, and some nuts. Yep, that means NO sugar, carbs, or dairy.
What was I thinking? I mean that means no Starbucks for 30 days?! Well here are some of my thoughts....
1. I used to be incredibly disciplines in the area of food, but in the last few years, I have been less disciplines. So it is in hopes of learning the discipline again.
2. I really need to lose the poundage. I am currently the largest I have been in my life. BOOO.
3. And this way of living is supposed to be all natural and cuts out all preservatives and see how my body reacts.
So I have made it 7 days and these are my thoughts:
1. It feels good to be disciplined in the area of food again! I already am feeling good!
2. I have noticed more energy despite having no caffeine in my body. The first few days were rough with some bad caffeine headaches!
3. I am kind of getting tired of eating some of the same things, but that is because I have been too lazy to recipe and meal plan.
4. Fruit is my new dessert.
5. So far so good!
That is all for now, it sounded a little more exciting in my head!

Hi Alicia,
I'm doing a similar cleanse right now to help me with my health issues. It's been a week and a half and I feel so much better!!
A good trick is to make omelets. So yummy, pretty cheap and not too much planning. This morning I made a bacon, broccoli, pepper and onion omelet. Yum :)
I can send you some more recipes if you'd like.
Also, I'm proud of you.

Glad to see the first week went ok for you and that you're re-adapting to discipline in this area of your life.
You have the book right? With all the recipes in it? There is also another book and recipe book called "The Primal Blueprint", the author has been a leader in the Paleo/stone age diet community for a long time.
