Hi everyone.
I love lifting, too, but haven't exercised in a while. When I move back to KC, I plan to start lifting and doing some tae-bo. For now, I;m still in the beginning here and really want to incorporate things slowly so I don't get burned out and give it all up. I have been primal for 25 days now.
I only recently gave up artificial sweeteners and that has really helped to curb my cravings.
I have lost 10 pounds! My food intake is completely unrestricted as long as it's leaning towards primal. No grains, flours (not even almond flour, because I'm scared it will trigger me), sugar, honey, maple syrup all out. I was relying pretty heavily on fruits, even dried fruits for the first couple weeks, but have gradually weaned that. This has been a real experience for me. BibBob said earlier it's like heroin for him. I am definitely in the same boat. I feel like I am finally beating my final addiction. It's so empowering!
Today I've had:
coffee with cream
rib eye steak
I will probably end the day with:
big *** salad, romaine, carrots, red bell pepper, bacon, apple with a vinaigrette dressing.
and either another steak or a fish soup I made. It's pretty darn good.
1.5 T EV coconut oil
one onion chopped
3-4 cloves garlic minced
8 fillets tilapia chopped
3 cans coconut milk
2-3 T red curry paste (to taste)
5-6 T fish sauce (to taste)
1.5 c vegetable stock
coconut oil, onion and garlic until onion is cooked to clear
add coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce and stock cook until bubbling and mixed thoroughly
add fish and simmer until fish is cooked through.
tasty stuff.
