I'm five weeks in and feeling great. I swing between feeling like I'm doing great and can continue eating well indefinitely and then feeling like I can't wait for this to be over so I can stick my head in a pizza!!! I miss eating my pizza more than anything. I threw away almost half a pizza last night. I made it on Sunday and only Sam and Maggie ate it. What a shame.
After this challenge, I'm going to try to reintroduce foods right. You are supposed to eat one thing at a time and see how you feel. That's hard to do when you crave pizza-it's cheese and gluten at the same time!!! I really don't think that the "off foods" affect me adversely, but I really don't know that for sure. I know some people say that eating paleo revolutionizes their life-they feel so much better, aches and pains go away, etc. That doesn't work for me, or so I think. Yes, I do lose some weight and definitely inches, but I can't say that overall I feel so much better. Maybe it's just something that has evolved slowly and I don't notice any more. After all, I have been doing paleo on and off for almost two years now and I really can't remember how I felt when I was "carbo queen". I do know that I'd like to stay on a healthy diet if I can.
Apart from pizza, there are several things in the back of my mind that I'd like to eat. There's those Trader Joes chocolate peppermint patties in the fridge, they should be fine, they are just chocolate, honey and peppermint. Then I could eat a zucchini muffin that I made this week. Then I could make honey muffins on the weekend.....It's easy to see how you can just end up back where you started. Hopefully I won't do that.
