When Eating More Is Good For You

Now, I don't know how I feel about this whole Paleo diet thing just yet...although I have been trying to eat more proteins and vegetables, and less carbs. But swearing off carbs and sugar completely, I'm not sure I can do it. I do want to try it someday, but I feel like right now I'm still getting my head wrapped around eating healthy and exercising.

What I like about the Paleo idea though, are the amount of food you eat. You become full from eating a good amount of vegetables and lean protein. I never knew protein made you feel full faster and longer until I started crossfit and reading about Paleo.

This article title "Eat More, Weight Less" from Crossfit Rockwall's website really caught my attention. Just look at the difference between REAL healthy eating Vs. "Healthy" eating:

It's amazing how much we can deprive ourselves of food, when it's not about not eating, but eating right. 

What will you choose to eat for breakfast tomorrow?

1st Week Progress

I lost 5 pounds since I started this journey and 3 pounds in the last week!

I have been counting my calories using My Fitness Pal and trying not to go over 1200 calories per day. I also make sure I drink at least 2 liters of water per day. The only difficult thing is eating less carbs and more protein, like they teach in Paleo Diet. I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet. I'm slowly increasing my intake of Protein and decreasing my intake or Carbs. It's definitely working so far!
