4sara4 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've been meaning to go paleo since my sister and her boyfriend did after he was diagnosed with MS. (From an article that I'd read- actually a TED talk from an MD in Iowa City who recovered from MS w essentially a strict paleo diet.) I've been a vegetarian for the last 6 years but have restarted eating fish the last few months, so I think that with Fish and eggs and a healthy love for veggies, I should be ok to get onto this. The thing is, that when I am feeling a bit low, or overstretched at work or unloved, I have a tendency to want bread and sugar and chocolate. And when I am not really eating those things, I have no cravings for them. So I truly believe the paleo is the way to go, even if I am/was veg, (yet I am not sure if I can return to meat fully, at least not yet). I've read a lot on in over the last few mos, and I am starting the plunge now... I don't mean to start this for 30 days, I mean to start it for life. I've already tossed my scale years ago. It always made me feel bad about myself. The number was never right. Sara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habitualpurpose Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Sara, Welcome! I think that with eggs and fish in the mix, you should be able to find this very workable! Would you mind sharing the link for the TED video if you still have it? I'd love to see it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wordlvr Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Sara, Welcome. I'm on Day 9 of Whole 30 and am finding it remarkably liveable...this from an inveterate diet breaker. I had to eat out once and I was able to do that with ease, though I avoid it mostly. I, too, plan to live like this. I am eating extremely well, as in tasty and wholesome, and am so grateful to the generosity of this forum. It truly makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdauk Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Day one went awesome for me, but I have transitioned by first doing a 30 day sugar detox, then cut out gluten for 6 weeks, now this is my next step. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4sara4 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Day one was pretty good. I had some urges for something that maybe I should not have but I qwelled them pretty fast... I am ok once I set my mind to a project... I wasn't a daily bread/grain/beans eater so that part was not hard. I had been having a bit too much sugar lately and dairy. It's nice to just shut it off. I made myself two eggs for dinner and some sauteed veggies. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
