Paleo Eating

Have you heard of it ?  It's as old as time, you might say.  Some call it the Cave Man Diet.  It's eating vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts and meat.  Some seasoning are fine.  Well I have started it and I must say I feel great.  There have been a few times I went ahead and gobbled down a slice of bread or half a donut and let me tell you I noticed the difference.  Strange, you say?  You bet, but true.  I am still in shock.  About What, you ask ?  Let me explain.

I have always had this weird tummy.  I say tummy because it started when I was in 3rd grade.  The Dr. visits and so on.  He said I had an ulcer.  This went on for several years until I got older and fixed my plate myself.  I was so tired of it all I didn't eat a lot.  That seemed to help.

Life went on, decades passed, illness came and went and here I am reading about how bread and all white food is very hard on your digestive system.  Now keep in mind I am a bread lover.  I even make my own bread.  So this was a little daunting for me.  Did I really want to do this and what if I had no more problems with said tummy ? Then what ?

Well after two days of only eating veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds and meat I was pain free.  I shouldn't say pain.  It really wasn't like I had bad pains it was more like my tummy was like a fist that would not release.  It was be bloated, full of gas (how charming), and just uncomfortable.

Now I am doing my best to stay with the plan.  Not to lose weight (all though that would be wonderful) but to just feel great.

I have a meat for breakfast with an egg.  Poached, or light oil  and some fresh fruit
Lunch salad with all the things I love....avocado, tomatoes, red onion, along with chicken or what ever is left over.
Dinner veggie, right now we are having artichokes from our garden, yum yum.  I put them in the oven with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice wrapped up in aluminum foil for about an hour at 425.  So Good !  Along with that I have some kind of meat, chicken, turkey, some beef or whatever you like.  Have a salad with it and you are set.

No more stuffing myself on chips, crackers, cereal, bread, rice or beans.  Let's face it they are fillers if you don't have the real food.

Hey will let you know how all this is working.  Tootles
