1 month Paleo Results

So here it is one month on Paleo. One month dairy free. One month grain free. One month sugar free. One month food color free. One month chocolate free. That's a whole lotta frees isn't it? I mean it sounds boring as hell and I kind of agree. Sometimes I just want to say _____ it and eat whatever I want. Who cares right?? It's my life, if I want a cookie I should just EAT one(a dozen!) and shut up.

Except that there are more frees than just those. There is also one month joint pain free. One month fog free. One month sleeplessness free. One month stomach ache free. One month bloat free.

But the best and most awesome part of the last month is my smile. I smile so much my face hurts. I am happy. I feel good (except the last couple days I hurt because I bit it HARD while x-c skiing) all the time. And best of all the jeans I grabbed at the thrift store the other day, the ones I knew would be a while in wearing because they were two sizes down? Oh yeah I slipped those babies on the other day and I never want to take them off. 2 sizes in 4 weeks. It won't always be this easy to lose the weight and that's ok, I know the right path and I am on it.  I don't care what I have to live without to have all the awesomeness I am feeling right now.

Do you suffer from bloat, stomach aches, joint pain and overall fogginess? Are you willing to try paelo to see if your ailments diminish? It seems hard but really if I can do it, the-queen-of-making-excuses-to- eat-another-cookie, then truly and honestly anyone can. And if none of that inspires you well then just meditate on this, 2 sizes in 4 weeks.



Peace and Love--

  4. I would love to try this but can't figure out how to make it work with all of my food intolerances. Ugh.

  5. Laura, Congrats on your success for the Paleo diet. I went on the Ideal Protein diet which is meat and vegeys for 8 weeks in order to feel better, not necessarily lose weight. Lost inches and felt good; slept well. Trying to incorporate a little bit of other things in my diet now. Hard to figure out how to balance eating and how I feel. Why is it so hard to give up sugar and too many carbs? Keep it up.

  8. I am happy to hear that your sacrifices are helping with your health. I have some IBS and I am good sometimes with restricting myself. Other times I say "To hell with it" and eat what I want.

  9. Good for you! Well, other the the x-c crash, I mean. Feeling better AND dropping 2 sizes is a glowing endorsement, indeed. Save the cookie for later...maybe June.
