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!
Best of health to you, Amy! An occasional slip is MORE than forgivable.
ReplyDeleteDamn. Now I'm craving a proper bagel with cream cheese. Either poppy seed or everything with Lox. Surprisingly, they are difficult to find here in the San Fernando Valley...
Best one I ever had was in Stillwater, OK. And I am "crapping" you negative.
Tomorrow is another day!
I know. I had a bagel this morning. YUM!
