“But if you don’t eat bread, what the heck do you eat??”
This should answer that question and then some. Check out the images below of everything that I ate this past week to see the extent of my suffering on this paleo/primal “diet”.
This was my 6th and final week of the elimination diet (the 2nd week of re-introduction). I tried re-introducing raw tomatoes and butter (separate post coming soon). Still feeling great and enjoying my lack of cravings.
I didn’t even feel the desire to do anything wild on my first day off the elimination diet. I ate out for the first time in 6 weeks, and had a grass-fed burger with some yam fries. But everything was cooked/fried in canola oil and I felt gross after. My splurge was a piece of chocolate covered banana snack. So pretty happy that I didn’t fall right back into old habits.
