Giving paleo a go go!

Happy October all :)

As I mentioned in a previous post- I majorly lost the plot and was eating gross food and not exercising.

I realised during this time that I had changed my diet type this year, to one a bit more restricted, yet I wasn't in my best shape and didn't lose as much (fat) weight as intended.

I love that old saying- 'if it ain't broken- then don't fix it'. So, with this in mind, I am returning to the type of diet I had when I was in my best shape.

Please note- when I say diet, I am referring to my dietary intake and not a diet that I am following, I am not on a diet, I am finding my best suited dietary intake for my life.

• I am returning to eating meat if I want it

• Cutting back on grains hugely after reading into the negatives of them

• Low carb intake 

• Avoiding processed food always

• Only good carbs eg sweet potato & brown rice - definitely NO pasta & white bread

• A more relaxed approach

After speaking to one of my closest friends Emma, I realised that how my diet used to be isn't far off paleo. Emma and her partner have been following paleo for a while and both find it to work for them. 

Unintentionally, my diet used to be paleo (I had never heard of paleo at that point) so I am looking forward to going back to it and hopefully getting in good shape.

There are lots of diet approaches, but only a few will suit a person. Lets see if paleo suits me.

So what is paleo?

I won't be able to eat that much meat- and I don't want to. But I will be following the back to original food groups and 'eating the way nature intended'!

I will let you all know how it goes!

Let me know if you've tried it? Love it? Hate it?
