I've been intrigued by the theory of Paleo/ Primal eating and lifestyle for over a year now. After doing some research and convincing Papa Bear to do a 21 day challenge with me, I ordered Mark Sisson's books- The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation & Primal Blueprint Quick and Easy Meals cookbook. I happened to receive an Amazon.com gift card for my birthday so that covered the cost of the books!!! :) (Thanks to my wonderful brother!)
On Saturday, I went though the kitchen cupboards, fridge, & freezer and removed all SAD (Standard American Diet) foods. I now have a tote full of unopened foods to donate & threw out 2 garbage bags of "food". As a family who struggles financially this was a bit difficult, but in the end I felt FREE of all of that junk. We are not a family who eats a lot of chips, soda, ho-ho's, etc... but I found many of our packaged foods had sugar, high fuctose corn syrup, and grain in them. A paleo diet consists of meat, eggs, fish, fowl, vegetables, nuts,some fruit. It does not include sugar, grain, legumes, or beans, and limited starchy veg. Some people include full fat dairy.
I did some major grocery shopping. It is important to buy organic, pastured, hormone free...
That's just a bit on the diet portion of this challenge. I will keep you posted.
Anyone else gone paleo??
