3 DAYS INTO THE PALEO DIET
And Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30!

So I'm at the end of day 3 of my paleo diet, and so far it hasn't been as hard as I thought! Yes I've definitely had my moments of temptation but then I figure with the amount of effort i'm putting into my work outs Its not worth it!

I walked into the lunchroom at work today and there were litterally free peices of apple pie sitting on the table...
Then at dinner they were offering pudding!!!! I said no to both!!! Im so proud of myself :)

I am ACHING sore and sometimes I feel like I'm starving (but im not really starving, i'm just craving the bad foods) but i feel very confident right now that i can make this work :)

Here's some of the things i've been eating so far on my paleo diet:

Scrambled eggs for breakfast with an orange

seasoned chicken breast with sauteed vegetables

Turkey Chili (my fave so far)

and then pretty much just any veggie or fruit i want as a snack!

That's all for now! :)

Oh, and a co-worker who has done this diet before told me that when I find myself feeling still hungry after meals its becuase for the firt little while my body will still be craving sugar and she told me to drink some tea with honey...I havent tried it yet but i thought this was a helpful hint to any of you other brides doing the Paleo diet!

Hey littlelamb, I've been wondering about the Paleo Diet. I know Nidhal got great results with it. I also am going to be starting the same workout, I bought it last week. Good luck to you, and if you don't mind post blogs or  pics of your progress. I know I would appreciate knowing and having a visual that it works!!

when i tried this it took me about a week to get used to the good healthy food. the best thing about it is that it makes u feel better. maybe cause nothing is processed and its all fresh foods. Good job girl keep it up!!

I am also gluten intolerant, so this diet is friendly to most allergies, even lactose! I plan to start it soon

@godsblessing The paleo diet AKA the caveman diet is when you eat only foods that the cavemen would have ahd access to in their times before there was agriculture...therefore you can eat any meat, any vegetable (with the exception of potato and corn), any fruit, and and nuts/seeds. Plus you can pretty much you any seasoning. If you google the paleo diet you'll find a ton of information :)

Thanks for all the encouragement girls! It really makes a huge difference knowing I have you girls cheering me on :)
I encourage you all to try it if you really want to! I actually find I feel a lot better, even after only 4 days...
yesterday  I do have to admit I cheated a bit, because I was running late for work and didn't have time to get more groceries or plan my meals, so i stopped at Tim Horton's and had a bowl of soup. I made sure there were no noodles in it though, it was strictly vegetable! I then cheated once more (:( ) becuase i went to a halloween party and I was starving because I hadn't eaten in a long time, and all they had was turkey on a bun served with chips...therefore a had a small handful of chips and I did eat the bun because just the turkey wouldn't have been enough to fill me! I can tell you though that after eating the chips and bread I felt really crappy, I dont know if it's because my body was starting to get used to all the healthy food, or if it was just in my head because of guilt...but today is a new day and i feel confident i can pick up where i left off! :)

That all being said i DO allow myself to have little things that aren't on the paleo diet list, such as a little bit of  milk, a pinch of salt here and there, and a small amount of butter on things that need a little more flavour. I am the type of person that if i force myself to be too strict i will fail and binge eventually.

Good luck to all of you who try!!! Keep me posted :)

Oh, and I plan on posting pictures once I start to see some results :)

hi, I did the Paleo diet a year ago and I did lost 20 lbs in less then 3 months eating only paleo food and 5 more pounds in the next couple months eating carefully. But since the summer I have not be too careful (chef school doesnt help!) and I realize yesterday than I took like 9 pounds... So yes this diet work but you have to make it a lifestyle to get the result. I restart to do the Paleo only food today and I want to lose 10 lbs by Christmas. So hard when everybody at school brought candy and cookies to share... But I know it is worthed. Good luck you will see its is not easy but you will feel pround of you when u get the result
