Soo starting my new lifestyle today! I am aiming for as paleo as I can get but I will have occasional none paleo food from time to time. I hope keeping a food diary will help me stay on track and help me see where my weaknesses are.

Thur 5th jan:

Breakfast - devilled eggs made with ceyenne pepper, paprika and extra light mayo (not paleo but the best I could do)

Lunch - salad made up of baby spinach leaves, watercress, yellow pepper, onion and baby plum tomatoes. Served with this iv got a cold beef medallion (that was cooked rare) leftover from lastnights dinner and grilled mushrooms with garlic. To snack iv got some organic sun ripened tomatoes and some almonds. I also have some cottage cheese because it needs eating. I won't buy it again. 

Tea - I havnt decided yet! Maybe some mackerel.

Hope this is ok for day one!

Weekend was ok. I need to plan ahead with shopping as I was forced to eat bread as there was nothing else to eat. I'm gradually reducing the amount of bad food I eat. Iv weaned myself off caffeine too!

Breakfast - fat free natural yoghurt (only dairy I eat) with some redcurrants, blueberries and almonds thrown in. A little bit of honey on top.

Lunch - baby spinach leaf salad with leftover roast chicken

Tea - chicken curry with a very small amount of rice unless I can find an alternative. Can't get out of eating this meal.

Hi - it looks to me like you need to eat more fat, a lot more. Hopefully this will keep hunger at bay while you fight the sugar monkey on your back.

The thing with sugar, like many other addictive drugs, is that once you start you keep going - maybe you need to try a cold turkey approach.

Hi thanks for the advice! I have started eating more nuts (brazil and almonds) to get in more fat, and I put olive oil on my salads. Im also eating more oily fish. I'm not a fan of animal fat on meat, I can stomach a little but I don't like the texture and it makes me retch. I have goose fat for cooking though. I'm trying with the sugar if I go cold turkey I always end up binging. I'm getting my sugar fix out of berries instead atm. I'm eating to many but I plan to reduce them in time.

11/01/11 have been eating paleo for a few days now. Iv had two slices of bread and some rice but that's it. Iv been eating a tub of Probiotic yoghurt a day to try help sort my bowel out. Even after a few days my bowel is starting to feel better. I only woke up in pain once last night instead of waking up every hour! Started the whole30 challenge today can't wait to see what my bowel is like in 30days time! Liver and onions for tea tonight iv never tried it before I hope I like it!
