I know pretty much all of my posts so far have been about all my favorite junk food from my life experiences and travels. Well, it is has finally caught up to me. Now in my late twenties my metabolism has said,“Fuck you dude, I’m slowing down and you’re getting a belly.” Alright metabolism, touché. You want to play like that? Then I guess I will just have to go on a diet . Sigh.
Simply, diets suck. I am doing the Paleo Diet which means no carbs, dairy or grains. Pretty much everything I love has been cut out of my routine. I didn’t realize how depressing life is without cheese until now.
This diet has forced me to cook for myself more than usual and I am finding that to be very enjoyable. Pictured above is organic chicken breast with bell peppers, cilantro and broccoli.
So far I’m 4 days in and have dropped 5 lbs. Booyah metabolism!
Congrats on the weight loss. Looks yummy – can you post the recipe? I need to cook more myself.
sounds delicious, but, but, but, no cheese?
Hey, just stumbled across your blog. I recently started eating Paleo as well. It’s been tough, but I have way more energy and have dropped a few lbs as well. I initially started because I heard it could reduce inflammation-related joint/tendon pain. I’m dealing with chronic tendonitis, so I’m pretty much trying anything for relief. Can’t quite tell if it’s helping in that department yet…only time and persistence will tell. But check out my blog (walkingfordummies.com). I’ve actually experimented with paleo sweet potato brownie and almond flour pancake recipes. Obviously those shouldn’t be everyday things, but they’re a nice treat. My favorite website so far for paleo recipes is paleomg.com. Good luck sticking to it 🙂
