A question was asked....

Why this diet?

Why I chose this diet:

  1. It basically guarantees that you will lose weight.
  2. Eating simply and like a person from Paleolithic times appears to be healthy.
  3. Yes there are great limitations, but I find that I work well with limitations.
  4. The diet has been linked to curing Syndrome X diseases, lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and of course fat-fat-fat.
  5. By limiting the foods like grains, sugar and dairy I can focus on only eating pure nutrition.
  6. I can also learn to enjoy foods in a more natural state.
  7. I can learn what food should really taste like.
  8. Of course, I will say this one twice... it basically guarantees that you will lose weight.
  9. It also aids in the prevention of certain Cancers, high blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.
  10. It has been said that is can assist in clearing up brain fog. I've been noticing that I have been getting that all too often.
  11. I may personally have a mild gluten sensitivity and this help determine if it's true.
  12. Eating lean protein helps to rev up the metabolism.
  13. I am rather accustomed to the Atkins Diet and this is similar, so subtracting the diary from Atkins lowers fat intake and by adding fruit I can increase vitamin and nutrient intake.
  14. Being able to have fruit will make this plan easier to stay on, since on Atkins you can't have fruit.
  15. Some people have reported reversing hair loss... and I have hair loss. I hope it grows back!

These are just a few of the reasons. I do know the diet seems limited, but at the same time coming from an Atkins world, it seems almost easier. Now that summer is nearing the availability of fruit and veggies are abundant, so this is a great time to start this plan.
