I'm coming up on one year of eating paleo. Never in a million years did I think I could NOT eat bread and cheese on a regular basis because that is crazy talk right? I mean just completely insane. Because bread and cheese taste good.
Yet, I have lived with eating mostly paleo for almost a YEAR! I've never done anything for that long - I mean any personal improvement things. It is exciting because I have "exercised" so many food demons.
I am no longer addicted to sugar and I can go weeks without dessert - weeks! I couldn't even go like hours before this. My poor children tell me I haven't made cookies in soooooooooooo long.
There are so many benefits for me that I have found eating this way. I will begin to unpack those soon. And I think I'm going to do a give-a-way too!
For now here are a few posts I wrote over the last year:

Why I chose Paleo
Congrats! I too, have been trying to figure out how to eat for years. We both lost weight recently with calorie counting, but I got sick of it and just decided to do what I want. After about a month of that I found that my carb heavy preferences caused a quick return in belly fat (yuk!). For now, I'm looking into low carb as a baby step and see how that looks in about a month.
ReplyDeleteAgain, good for you, I'm glad this worked out.
Yes, I know I can't do calorie counting because I just hate it. This has been the only thing that works for me and that I don't get hangry doing!
