All right. Yesterday was the start of the paleo experience.
Here’s what I ate throughout the day:
2 boiled egss
1 apple
2 nectarine
6 oz chicken
6 oz london broil
2 oz cashews
2 tomatoes
1 red pepper
1 chili pepper
1 habenero
1/2 onion
1 avocado
All meat was hormone free and free ranged.
It all tasted great and I mixed it into various different concoctions of food to be spread over about 4 meals. I drank a ton of water and had 1 coke zero. This is my big weakness now, I’ve got a fairly strong addiction to coke zero. I decided at the beginning of the week with the changes I was already making I was not going to try and tackle this. I’ll save it for another week.
By the end of the day I was a bit hungry, that sort of hunger that sits in the back of your mind, but not overwhelmingly hungry. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that this is probably going to be a constant feeling with this nutrition plan, but hey, that’s cool. We should always be slightly hungry anyway. Part of our nations big problem is always eating to be completely full. That would rarely happen in the world of paleo man. And when it did, it was most likely from a fresh kill.
Stay tuned for tomorrow.
