Primal Blueprint Week 2 Update
I think I can safely say I am fully adjusted to the primal eating plan. I still have to work on other components such as lifting heavy things and getting sunshine. I don't miss bread at all, or beans. Last night some coworkers were having pizza as I left work, but I was not tempted to steal a piece. In fact Monday, in a team meeting, I was surprised by the unanimous "No, bring fruit!" everyone shouted when the boss suggested bringing donuts for breakfast. That was my immediate reaction, but I did not expect to be joined in such an emphatic chorus of agreement. I feel lucky to work with such health-conscious people.
I will definitely be continuing the primal eating plan for a full 30 day trial. That would put the next milestone on January 27. The diet transition has been far easier than I had imagined, at least socially. I have no problem going out to eat with friends, and occasionally people get a little envious over my delicious salads. I don't eat this way for attention, but I am glad to share my results and recipes. The other day, I saw a chili burger on TV and found that modifying it to be primal was not difficult. I just took out the beans and bun and added lots of salad greens. Last week I ate a lot of slow cooked chicken for lunch and omelets for breakfast so one day for lunch I switched it up and had hard boiled eggs with my salad instead of chicken.
Whenever I explain to someone that I don't eat bread, I make the distinction that it is grains that I avoid, not carbs in general. This is not Atkins. This is not South Beach. This is Primal Blueprint.
