So I started to feel the Paleo crash coming last Saturday. But, I thought I would hold out for one more week and get in 3 whole weeks...I made it to the 22nd. A sign that Paleo was too strict for me at this point in my training. You shouldn't be counting down the days on a meal plan when it is the right plan for you and your goals.
My Paleo experiment ended with a yummy burrito bowl from Chipotle with brown rice and I had tummygasms and feelings of elation that do not make sense to most people.
Then I ate a box of Dr. Lucys gluten free cookies, very tasty! But all that sugar was too much for me, Had a 24hr stomach ache.
5 Things I loved about Paleo:
- simplicity, think fresh think hearty
- variety, I started following different Paleo blogs, twitter, and Instagram accounts, people get really creative it's not just salads and slabs of meat
- recipes, learning to cook with coconut flour and think about carbs differently
4. fruit, all the fruit I want, and finding fun ways to incorporate fruit into my meals
5. result, my goal was not weightloss but I did drop about 3 lbs in the first week and my tummy was as flat as it gets during lean out
5 Things that made me question our relationship
- I love oatmeal and brown rice and I can't have that on Paleo
- I love oatmeal and brown rice and I can't have that on Paleo
- I love oatmeal and brown rice and I can't have that on Paleo
- I love oatmeal and brown rice and I can't have that on Paleo
- I love oatmeal and brown rice and I can't have that on Paleo
My favorite moments with Paleo:
Finally learning to cook quinoa (not stirct paleo)
Post workout fruit salads and coconut water
Meeting my nutrient goals while on Paleo
I will look back fondly on the days we spent together. I don't think I was ready for an exclusive relationship with Paleo, but I'd love to hangout with it occasionally.
