Waltron Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I recently started Paleo, and it's crazy how fast my body has rewarded me. I have more energy and more willpower than I ever have! I turned down a bag of my FAVORITE chips just last night, and to be honest it wasn't that hard. If you saw Steve's post about becoming a robot, I definitely have taken tips from it and implemented them. If anyone is having doubts about being able to start a diet such as Paleo, consider reading that post! Sorry for the relatively boring post, it sounded like a good idea in my head...

vintageenvy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Woot woot! I know exactly what you're talking about! My office has an almost constant supply of Panera bagels and pastries in the kitchen and after a month of Paleo eating I finally can walk in there to get my lunch and not feel tempted to eat just one (or two, or five) of them.Congrats on making it through the cravings! No matter how slow you're going, you're still lapping everyone on the couch. Hobbit Adventurer STR - 4 DEX - 3 STA - 4 CON - 5.25 WIS - 5 CHA - 6.5 Link to comment

I was staying with friends this weekend that had every kind of food I used to eat, and I was proud of myself for not eating any of it.I also had a dream that I ate a slice of pizza, it was amazing, but then I got really sick and felt like general crap afterwards. I think that's a milestone right there!Congrats on doing well, and I second your emotion - I was skeptical at first, but its SO MUCH HARDER if you're cutting things that you love for no reason other than some diet plan says I can't eat it. Realizing that if I eat some of things I'll feel like crap afterwards has worked FAR better at stopping my cravings!!

Elastigirl Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Congrats! Yes, I think Steve is absolultely right about the robot theory. Once I start eating the chips, its all downhill. Much easier to say IF somthing is not food then I do not eat.

Surrounded by friends with the food you used to eat, and still said no! Worth a mention: About a week before going full-Paleo, I was experimenting a bit with my food intake. I had 2 Paleo days then wanted to see what a glass of milk would do to me, and sure enough I ended up with a decent stomach ache less than 15 minutes later! I was happy in a strange way. I think my body and mind collaborated to make me unable to eat/drink the things I was used to having.

I ate one of his cheesy breadsticks, and not long after I regretted it. Knowing that I will feel bad after is all the motivation I need to not eat it.

Waltron Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's weird how much my mind has changed over the past week. I am turning into a Paleo robot. I eat vegetables when I'm hungry... nuff said. Men: Learn the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to get a rock solid six-pack in the least amount of time.
