Step away from the cake..
I'm starting the whole30 diet plan - basically 30 days of clean paleo living for 30 days. I've been paleo for the last 5 weeks (except yesterday afternoon when I fell into a vat of chocolate cake) but I watch my calorie intake and weight too closely. Plus I'm getting a bit too reliant on cheese and cream in my diet. So I'm going strict for 30 days.
The rules are:
1: Eat real food - meat, fish, eggs, tons of vegetables, some fruit, and plenty of good fats.
2: Don't eat
- sugar of any kind, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, stevia, etc
- processed foods. This includes protein shakes, pre-packaged snacks/meals, protein bars, milk substitutes, etc.
- alcohol, in any form.
- grains. This includes (but is not limited to) wheat, rye, barley, millet, oats, corn, rice, sprouted grains and all of those gluten-free pseudo-grains like quinoa.
- legumes. This includes beans (black, kidney, lima, etc.), peas, lentils, and peanuts or peanut butter. This also includes all forms of soy - soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).
- dairy. This includes all cow, goat or sheep's milk, cream, butter, cheese, yogurt, whey, ice cream, etc.
- white potatoes
And heres one I think I'll struggle to stick to over the thirty days
"NO weighing yourself or taking comparative measurements during your Whole30."
Hmmm not sure I'll survive without weighing, or calorie counting, or alcohol, but it's only thirty days...
I'll keep a food diary on here. Here goes!
