Somehow, one of my kickboxing instructors talked me into doing the Paleo Diet. I had recently come to a plateau...and I was really bitter about it. So I cut back on food, my first (what I thought was logical) decision. I was eating at least 1200 calories a day, but that wasn't sufficient enough for the amount of working out I do a day.
This is definitely a growing experience, weight loss. I don't know a ton about nutrition, I know what's bad and what's good. I've been vegan, vegetarian, I'm gluten free. I've done Weight Watchers, I've been all over the map. I'm a southerner and everything is about food.
So I gave this diet a shot. What do I have to lose? Right? The first couple weeks have been hard. I have had a couple Diet Cokes, a few grains here and there, but not daily. Spending my lunch break today figuring out recipes, because I haven't cooked meat in a very long time. I haven't had red meat since my teenage years (minus my a burger at In and Out when I was in LA).
I'll keep you posted on results and how I feel. Today, the one thing I miss is peanut butter. I really miss peanut butter.
