There is an incredible amount of information contained in this link:

All along this journey I have encouraged each of you to pay attention to what you eat, and to make changes to instill cleaner habits (no sugars for 30 days; no soda; etc.). I have not advocated for any particular diet type over another. Still, I have a very strong belief that there is a fundamental truth to primal living, and wanted to share the science, and the approach with you for your consideration. If you haven't found a "diet" that helps keep you on track, you may want to give this a shot.
Some of you have begun that slide back to old habits; or really never made an attempt to create new, healthier habits. This contest is not about winning money, but about a new beginning in a healthy lifestyle.
There's not much time left in our competition, but there's still a lifetime that stretches ahead. Get back to the basics of healthy living -- journal your food consumption and your workouts; get a good night's sleep; and look to your peers for support and encouragement.
Maddy- Thanks for sharing that link. It is definitely hard to break those habits again after slipping off track a few weeks ago. Adopting (maybe not all the way) the Paleo diet into my current one will help keep me stay clean eating.
ReplyDeleteI think I am done with dairy products after this current diet. They just don't appeal to me at all anymore. Step in the right direction. I probably only eat flour once or twice a week at this point, also a huge improvement. Still crave sugar & lose that battle a bit here and there. Does the paleo diet exclude all grains or just processed ones?
ReplyDeleteIt does exclude all grains Eve (including corn -- so you really have to check the products you chose as so many sneak corn in as filler or sweetener). You can use almond meal (find it cheap at Trader Joe's) or coconut flour in place of wheat and you'll be amazed how much you'll like it. Have you tried coconut milk or almond milk? Great in place of dairy products. Sugar is an addiction that's extremely hard to kick. Keep up the good work!!
