Water throughout the day
Great idea Kristine. Count me in as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for this blog. Another great idea!
I've been doing varying degrees of Paleo for the last year. It was a tough road as I was a long time vegan. It took quite a bit of time to increase my stomach acid to handle the meat, and I gained about 35 pounds due to the transition. It's all good, cuz I'm actually far healthier now than at the smaller weight. No more mineral deficiencies and high blood sugar readings. :)
Food for today is . . .
Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 pieces bacon, celery sticks and carrot sticks
Lunch: 6oz tuna, paleo mayo, celery, 1/2 avocado, 1 can Stevia Soda
Snack: Kale Chips
Post Workout: Protein Shake
Dinner: 4oz grass fed beef, 1/4 med yam, 1c broccoli, 1 tbsp coconut oil
If you are going for strict Paleo, unsweetened Almond Milk and Coconut Milk are ok.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the STARVING factor: It sucks, it's the worst, I know. But plow through it, within 5-7 days your body will become used to your new diet and that terrible feeling should vanish. YOU CAN DO IT
Sorry for not posting to the blog. Here are my excuses, I got to be a little busy at work and then I thought we only posted once a week on our blog days. But really, it is because I have been over eating and cheating a little bit(maybe more than a little.) I keep up with my food intake on livestrong.com and you can see it here: http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/diary/who/clmivey/.
ReplyDeleteI can start to post both places, but maybe I will just post the link each day and a quick note of how I did the previous day.
Before anyone sees it on my food diary... I had a major cheat Friday night. Not sure why. I worked out, was in my usual routine and then for some reason stopped by the store and bought fritos and oreos. YIKES!
My goal this week is to clean up my food again because I know that I do feel much better when I do.
Breakfast:
ReplyDeleteBanana
Snack: Pineapple, mango, cucumber, watermelon mix
Lunch: Beef sausage, veggies, nuts
Snack: More of the fruit mix, half of a pomegranate
Dinner: Beef sausage, strawberries
How many of you are buying the pass for the Halloween party? That is going to be a MAJOR cheat day for me! lol.

ahhh you guys are awesome! sorry for creepin but i'm totally in for the potluck. might even start logging my food intake...should be interesting!

ReplyDeletealso, nice job on killing that WOD yesterday, i plan on attacking your 100DU time.
seacrest out.
Hey Kelsey,
ReplyDeleteI'm not an expert on paleo eating but I did go through a 12 week paleo eating program that taught me how to do it somewhat successfully.
If I could give you a suggestion to get rid of the hunger it would be to eat a little more in the way of fat and protein in the morning.
When you start the day off with a banana it creates an insulin spike and things kinda go downhill from there. It works fine for some, but not for others.
You could try adding some nut butter and a few veggies to your breakfast. From what I was taught, you want to always eat a protein with a carbohydrate to even out the insulin spike.
Hope this helps.
You can also try ice cold water if you're feeling the starve-mode come on. Shrinks the stomach and tends to work pretty well for me!
ReplyDeleteI am SO in for the potluck! I'm trying out a new recipe tonight for paleo butternut squash soup and if it goes well maybe that's what I'll bring!
ReplyDeletePS - If any of you guys tweet, I've started tweeting about going paleo here: www.twitter.com/megansquared. It's only slighty irreverent.
