I feel like I'm coming out of the closet... here goes nothing:
WHAT THE PALEO/PRIMAL LIFESTYLE IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT:
It is not about eating raw meat!!!!
It's eating whole, clean foods -- meats (grassfed if possible), vegetables, fruits, fats.
It's not eating grains and sugary foods.
It's not eating heavily processed foods.
It's eating a little good quality dark chocolate for a treat.
It's not being scared to eat fat.
It's walking, lifting heavy things, being active.
It's not killing yourself with excessive cardio exercise.
It's about never feeling bloated or gassy (sorry if that's TMI, but it's been one of the biggest changes for me).
It's NOT being hungry!!!! (which I always was when calorie counting or doing WW)
It's about not weighing my food or counting calories.
It's about total health - sleep, managing stress, play... not just about food.
It's about lowering cholesterol and having better overall health.
It's about clearing up skin that is prone to breakouts.
It's figuring out what works for me and tweaking it.
It's about feeling better than I've felt in many years (I'm about to turn 43).
