MY PALEO DIET DIARY – Day 27

I wanted to give up, I did give up, and then I couldn’t resolve myself to it. Day 27 and I’m still following a paleo diet… it’s actually not that bad anymore. It was hard at first, I remember one day at the beginning, when I said  I was done with it and going full vegan, that I didn’t want to hear about anything paleo-related in my life anymore… but then the next day, with a grumpy face and still not feeling it in my heart, I kept on doing it anyway.

How am I surviving this extreme diet ? Very simple actually, I have cheat days in which I allow myself eating starchy foods & sweets, but all GLUTEN FREE. Everything I eat is always gluten free because I have an intolerance to gluten; so in the back of my mind I’m always thinking “it ain’t that bad… it’s not paleo, but it’s not toxic either” 😛 This helps me keep my sanity, because I love pasta and pizza, and pastries ! (amongst other, like fries, burgers, honey and what not…)

Why do I keep doing it if it’s really that hard, and makes me want to give it up ? Because I know that paleo is so much more healthier than any other diet, I feel better in my body since I started eating like this, and I see improvements not only on my skin but in the way I nourish myself. My new habits gave me back appetite for real meals, gave me the envy to cook colorful dishes.

All in all, following the paleo diet has made improvements in my daily life and that’s why I’m not just gonna give it up, simply because it’s difficult to get adjusted… it’s normal to have issues with a new diet, your whole digestive system, your mind and ways of cooking, doing your groceries represent a big change. If it’s for a positive outcome, then it’s so much worth it 🙂 I would have never thought I’d say this one day, but… Paleo diet rocks ! & I am so happy I’ve struggled this far and finally, got to enjoy it.
