Paleo Type Diet
So my new doctor put me on a diet. No grains, no gluten, no dairy and no refined sugar.
I know that sounds horrible but I resolved myself to abide by the diet.
It's been 13 weeks. The only times I know I cheated on it was when I had butter 2 or 3 times.
I am honestly enjoying food now more than I ever did. I never ate food because I liked it. I only ate to keep going. I am actually enjoying food now which I found really surprising. My wife has spent dozens of hours looking for recipes that I will eat and hopefully enjoy. We're eating mostly organic now. Lot's of fruit and vegetables. I can have all the protein I want. When we go out to eat I have steak and eggs with sweet potato fries plus a bowl of fruit.
I've lost 15+ lbs which was not the actual goal for the doctor but we will take it. My blood sugar is dropping. My blood pressure is down and I do just feel generally better. I really do miss just grabbing a burger and fries or burrito but we work around that pretty well. My wife has been amazing.
Anyone else been on or currently on a paleo type diet? Have you found any recipes you really like?
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
