OK... I finally started the Paleo Diet. I am please to announce that as of this moment I have been 100% successful today. I still have dinner to get through and of course the evening, but I am confident that I will succeed. I have to say that I felt like and even seem to look like Jabba the Hutt today. It's really quite horrible. I suppose this diet could not have found me sooner.
Having been a previous Atkins Diet Follower, I am not finding this to be that difficult. I will need more protein tomorrow during the day. I don't want to O.D. on veggies and fruit. I find that getting things together the night before was very helpful today. I plan to cook some extra chicken for tomorrow. The more the merrier at this point.
I weighed myself this morning and of course found out that I have regained much of the weight I had lost doing Atkins. This of course is caused by actually eating semi regular foods. Atkins is very strict and when you add in any sugar it really causing the weight to creep back on. So although I am starting exactly at square one, I'm very close to it. I'd almost be disappointed in myself, but it's not worth my effort at this point in time. I will just have to regroup and start again. I made it to Curves today at lunch. That was good. I have been retaining so much water from eating out over the weekend, I my legs were actually in pain from sitting. So doing the circuit really helped.
I hope the chicken recipe that I found for dinner is good. It's basically chicken breasts coated in olive oil and sliced almonds with pepper and garlic.
