Day 10
It's the 10th day for me! Had a couple of "cheat" munchies along the way, but not excessive that it will smash my results!
This time round, it's easier to start, and carry on! I knew what I can or cannot consume. I knew how my body would react. I knew when to reward. I knew HOW it works.
Despite having sleepless nights for 4 nights in a row, I didn't feel as tired as I would - if I had taken regular non-paleo meals. Weird eh?
I feel different! I feel new! And I feel hungry at 2am!!! That's pretty reasonable time to be hungry since I'm awake and dinner's fully down the drain!
Jonson, keep up the healthy living and meals etc. Don't worry about your protein shake!
Ms Z, coffee WM is cool :) We can afford some flexibility under control yeah!
Karen, go as best that you can with meal choices! Your awareness will lead the way! :)
Have a great weekend peeps! :)

To get the best results, you must talk to your vegetables.

Dilemma
As all my paleo pals have started doing paleo again... shall i shall i?
What about my morning coffee fix? egg tart? siew pao? ice cream? cakes? cookies?
Oh..... i'm in such dilemma R>I>G>H>T... N>O>W!
The only way to eat!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen
*Drum Roll*
PALEO PALS are back and we are back with a vengeance.
This time we are going to hit the Paleo diet hard. No longer will 30 days feel like 30 years. From now on we will Paleo all the way!!!
Start tossing out those coffee powder, rice, pasta and those unfavourable carbs!!!
Stock your cupboards with nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables and most of all MEAT!!!
Make every meal as paleo as possible!!! If you are eating out do your best to keep it paleolithic!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the pass 3 weeks/ 1 month I have been zoning my paleo diet as best as possible. The only thing I have eaten and still do that is not paleo is Protein powder and canned tuna. My reasons :
1) Zone dieting requires you to eat a balance amount of protein, carbs and fats. The most difficult to obtain is protein, especially for breakfast. Imagine eating a 5oz steak for breakfast? You'd be so stuffed and when you get to class you'd be dosing off already. So having a protein shake makes it much easier for me.
2) Since I am a student, I have classes at 9am from monday to friday. I am up at 7.30/8am most of the time hence that does not leave me enough time to cook. I know I can wake up earlier but think about the amount of work that we do. By the time you hit the sack its most likely 12 or 1 AM. So you want to optimise sleep.
So to all my paleo pals, forgive me for the protein powder and canned tuna.
Anyway let me share some photos of paleo meals I have been eating =)
Anyway here are some links for you all;
Paleo recipes, more recipes and more recipes
Crossfit Football posts up paleo recipes every couple of days.
The main site that is a must for reading is by a fellow cross fitter and paleo diet-er Robb Wolf.
These sites should get you going easily.
For those who want to zone their paleo this link is to download an excel spreadsheet that helps with the calculation and conversion. ZONE BLOCK CALCULATOR
Here is the Paleo Diet book that you can read. I have the actual book and am about to start it. Just finished the Zone diet book and now having a fun read before getting into the Paleo book.
OKAY so let's recap;
1) Eat only the food that was available to us back in the paleolithic days.
2) Throw away all those crap and temptations.
3) Stock up with all the goodies of fruits, veges, nuts and meats.
4) Have a consistent weekly workout routine. Remember that dieting is only part of the journey. Exercise is the other part. Put dieting and exercise together and you will be a force to be reckoned with.
5) Read as much as you can. The internet is a huge back of knowledge. Anything you want to ask can be answered through the internet.
6) Paleo pals are always here to help support and share with each other. SO just pop in and join us =)
7) Have fun dieting, because if you don't have fun you will bail on the diet. SO enjoy it =)
Last words from me:
Live to ea,t not eat to live!!!
Eat the right foods and exercise to your best capabilities remembering to have rest days. Eating the right foods and in the right quantity will optimize your performance.
Spend a little more to live a lot better!!! (i.e. spend a little more for organic chicken, free range eggs, etc)
The aim is to grow fitter, faster and STRONGER!!! RAWR!!!
