week of 7/13

Hit-up a new produce market over the weekend that sells only local produces...while not all organic...it's better than Safeway. We bought most of our groceries for the week at that spot and I'm packing a full day of meals so that it makes eating on paleo much more manageable.

Paleo plan of attack that seems to work....still eating whatever I want as long as it's not processed.
Mornings:
- (breakfast) fruit w/chicken or two egg whites (I saw that these should be limited but still unsure why...must ask Chris)
- (snack) fruit / veggie
Mid-Day:
- (lunch) mixed greens + salad yummies (i.e. fruit/nuts/chopped veggies) or veggie combo w/ chicken or fish
- (snack) veggie + handful of nuts
- (dinner) lean meat + mixed greens or a veggie combo

Surprisingly, I haven't had any crazy sugar cravings because I get plenty from the fruit. I LOVE that I can eat fruit now. I didn't like that the zone over restricted fruit as carbs. Plus, I don't worry if I have a little something that's not "on the program" as long as those items are consumed extremely infrequently (tiny portion <2x/week).

7-6-09

10:30 am (breakfast) 1c cantaloupe & 2 oz tuna
12:15 pm (snack) 1/2c watermelon, 1/2 orange & a hard boiled egg w/o yolk
6 pm (lunch...waited too long) 1/2c steamed chard, 1 chicken patty, 3c mixed greens, 1T balsalmic/olive oil, 1 pealed pear
....

Lost track of the food log for the week!

First week on paleo went well. I was surprised how easy it is for me to adjust from zone to paleo. I'm not aware of any huge changes in how I feel. I'll keep updating on that front.

First week's moto: eat whatever I want as long as it's not processed and focus on getting a little lean protein in at every meal. This was surprisingly easy. I even ate out a few times without any trouble. Looks like this'll be another life change for me. Thanks bro!
