Step away from the cake..
I'm back!!! I've increased my exercise of late so have been playing around with some additional carbs (a few legumes, porridge for breakfast, that sort of thing) but I really miss my old primal ways and I know I could be getting any carbs I need from fruit, sweet potatoes, veg and other paleo friendly stuff.
So, before anyone comments, I just want to say I'm not all that strict! I allow a little full fat dairy (in the form of Greek yoghurt in) and I do like dark chocolate! Also, I know I do more exercise than is recommended, but I'm just playing at the moment, trying out p90x (and so far loving it!). I am trying to lose another 2 stone ish (have lost about two and a half so far) so have some rules:
1. Stick to a primal diet with no more than three "cheats" per week
2. Move! I'm doing p90x at the moment but any daily movement is a must!
In addition, if I'm struggling with cravings, calorie count to ensure I'm getting at least 2000 cals (I tend to find I cut back without noticing, then binge)
I'm not deliberately fasting whilst I'm exercising a lot, but I'll eat when hungry so if I'm not hungry I'll skip a meal.
I'm currently using protein shakes for breakfast. I'll stop this when I've used it up.
That's about all for now, it's nice to be back (feels like coming home)!
