Because of my recent fruit issues, I've been eating off plan here and there. As a result, I'm feeling not so great. I've been a week off fruit, and now am adding it back in small amounts to see if I can handle it again. I'm making this journal as an attempt to stay more on plan. If other people are reading, then I hope I'll be more strict.
Breakfast: bacon carrot hash browns (just shredded carrots cooked in the bacon grease) 5 blackberries
snack: leftover ground beef with broccoli and carrots from yesterday's lunch So far so good.
I'm new here, but like others have said, not that new to paleo. I tried it for a summer about 2 years ago, but never fully gave up dairy or beer. About a month ago, I had a really, really terrible case of eczema. So, I went on an elimination diet (no gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, sugar, chocolate, alcohol etc.). Before long, I was completely grain free. My rash disappeared, I've lost 10 pounds, and I feel great. There's no going back now. My mother and sister both fell victim to type II diabetes, and I don't want to follow in their footsteps. So, grains are out for good. I may consume butter again, but for now I'm completely dairy free.
I'm a mother of a 5 year old boy, and I work part time at my local food co-op (cheap organic/grass-fed meat and organic produce!!!). I live in the northern plains in the US...glad to have found you!
