“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?
