Lately I've been reading Gary Taube's "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and I'm about 1/4 of the way through, and I love it. It explains everything about this diet, and it even goes in to explain why CW (Conventional Wisdom) got the way that it is. It's very interesting, and I encourage all nay-sayers of the Primal diet to humor me and read it. I bet their opinions will change.
A lot of people I tell about the diet always react with "WHAT?!? No grains? How can you live your life?" I admit at first it was hard cutting carbs and all processed foods. However, now that I'm over the "carb flu" I'm seeing improvements in my well-being, stamina, mood, and physique. The changes I've experienced these last three weeks have been for the better (for me) and I'm loving every minute of it. I got the Primal Blueprint in the mail the other day, so that's next on my reading list.
Shoulder is still being a pain in the ass...but I'm noticing it's actually getting a little better each day. I think at this rate I'm going to wait until the end of February to do any kind of resistence training. Feb 15th I'll start a yoga regimen targeting the shoulder area.
This morning I made up a Strawberry, Blueberry, and coconut milk smoothie for breakfast. Man was it good. I don't feel hungry at all (a little tired, however. I'll need to do some research on why this is. I got 8+ hours of sleep last night.)
Over the next few days I'll be compiling a list of why the Primal diet is working for me, and also why it may not be working for me. Be on the look out.
