“I think i’m going to try out the paleo diet this season.”
today most of us are on the sad* diet.
*standard american diet
you know the one: cereal for breakfast
sandwich for lunch
pasta bake for dinner
this wasn’t the case ten thousand years ago.
so going “paleo” is sort of like going “caveman”
(is it Just me or does this caveman bear a striking resemblance to Jon snow?)
the paleo diet contains “primal” foods: meat
fish
vegetables
eggs
fruits
nuts* & seeds
*peanuts are not nuts. they’re beans. who knew?!
easy enough, right?
now for the downside.
cavemen didn’t eat:grains
(bread, pasta, creal, cake, crackers, pastries)legumes
(potatoes, peanuts, soy beans, lentils, peas)sugar
(the source of all happiness)
which means, no processed foods.
...and no chocolate.
but they say that eating “real Food” changes your energy levels completely.
but it could be an exciting challenge.
it isn’t easy.
it means new recipes and ingredients
and a test of willpower
most importantly, the reward isn’t some stupid medal you wear around your neck
the initial challenge: two weeks.
you IN?
