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!

So, like I've been saying... cut the crap! Get off your butt and go outside. It's summer, for crying out loud!

All that being said, I think it's common sense these days that a sedentary lifestyle makes you gain weight. In turn, weight gain isn't good for you. For people to continue spending money on research to tell us what is common sense is ridiculous. Cut THAT crap out, too, you crazy finance people. That money could be better spent on finding a cure for cancer. Oh wait! That HAS been discovered but big pharmaceutical companies want none of it... wonder why?

Sorry. Soapbox much.

Go outside! It's beautiful!
