Primal Paleo who is in? I certainly am ...

I started working on eating Paleo (cavewoman) several weeks ago, when I was trying to treat severe inflammation, it has helped quite a lot with that, plus I have at least stopped gaining weight, and lost a few pounds. I have not been perfect with it (vacations pffftttt) but i am trying, also in the process of trying to decide just how much my body can tolerate in the way of carbs....I will be really happy if I can lose a pound or 2 a month--my body has become quite weight loss resistant....sigh...

My body is "weightloss resistant" too... it is just so difficult...but I am trying...

Tomorrow I am really going to go low carb... I will post my food... Maybe we can all do that and help each other...

not a bad idea, sometimes it helps to see it in writing...

so today I ate:

small steak and 2 eggs

pork chop and a huge salad (vinegar/oil dressing)

zucchini casserole I was not particularly happy about as it had bread crumbs and just a bit of egg as protein (I didn't cook) it was tasty but not enough protein

v8 juice and some nuts as a snack

Today I had:

m1...ham slices and a peach
m2...apple
m3...chicken and coleslaw with olive oil dressing
m4...pork chop and brocoli drizzle olive oil

I fell of the wagon with 4 squares of plain chocolate in the afternoon *sigh*


1,025 cals .... 48.3 fat .... 104.7 carbs .... 56.4 protein .... protein is way too low and carbs too high... I will do better tomorrow without the chocolate ...

I did have a very good workout tonight though

your calories are pretty low too, 1200 is minimum, try substituting one of the fruits with some roasted unsalted nuts/seeds or maybe some cheese if you can do dairy....

My calories are low today, don't know why and I'm not that hungry so I'm not too worried about it... Yesterday I had 1500 or more, I can't really remember...but they are usually higher...

Brown

Today:

m1... ham slices
m2... whey protein powder and an orange
m3... broccoli and pork chop

I feel good so far with my food...

Brown, the first thing that happened when I went paleo is that I stopped having cravings, and my hunger was reduced by quite a lot, it makes a huge difference to eat as much fresh, whole food as you can, cutting out gluten can really help tons.....

Cheese omlette

wings--blew it on the veg here usually i have a big salad

salmon and cauliflower

slice of watermelon

m4... banana
m5... shrimp, cabbage drizzled with olive oil, small orange
m6... dark chocolate

The less processed carbs I eat the less I crave...

ok today I had

small steak and 2 eggs/ slice of watermelon

chicken soup (no carbs just chicken and broth)

some nuts on break

salad steak and mashed potatoes (went to dinner with my sweetie) I don't feel bad about eating a reasonable serving of potatoes but everything tasted kind of salty and i am sure I will pay for that :P
