The Primal Diet: Day 3

So I started the Primal Diet and have already lost 3 pounds.  I'm sure it's just water weight I'm losing at this point, but it's a start.

I have noticed that I'm much more hungry with this diet.  I'm eating fruits and veggies all day long, and it's as if my body is processing it so fast that I stay constantly hungry.  I'm sure I'll adjust. 

Yesterday at work I completely forgot about being on my diet and did my normal routine.  After I got in, I went straight to the breakroom and got a bagel.  WITH cream cheese.  Only later at lunch did I realize, "Hey! I'm not supposed to be eating bagels or cream cheese!"  I experienced my normal afternoon dip in energy, too. 

Today I stuck to it.  And you know what?  I didn't have that energy dip in the afternoon.  I was actually pretty even energy-wise.  All day. 

Will all of this primal stuff reduce my cholesterol?  I'm hoping.  Even if it doesn't, I'm already seeing small gains just after 3 days.  My neighbor said I looked better, too... my skin was "glowing" she said.  :)  Thanks, Michiko!
