WelshAdam Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hey guys! My name is Adam, I'm 24 and from Wales in the UK.Just thought that I would do a quick intro, so here goes!When I was younger (15-16), I was really big into downhill mountain biking, running half marathons and hiking, so was really pretty healthy and in good shape.But, lo and behold when I hit about 17/18, I started smoking, drinking a lot more and generally eating a lot of crap!Basically, I woke up yesterday wanting to change!I've been researching the Paleo diet, and after reading Saints story I think it may be the way forward!Anyway, I suppose I'd better post a current photo of me Anyway thanks for reading guys and I look forward to chatting with you all Link to comment
marcwithersea Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi Adam. Welcome to NF. I've always found NF to be a very supportive community so I hope you'll find the encouragement you'll need to support your change. As for being Paleo, I made the change last year, or started at least, changing my diet bit by bit, and feel much better because of it. I'd suggest going for it, at least a week trial and see how you feel Link to comment
Minty Keen Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hey! Welcome to The Rebellion!Paleo is pretty much the only reason I'm able to do any of the other cool things I can do now... like exercising and having a life outside work.Before, I was basically crippled with exhaustion and depression. I have a pretty severe gluten sensitivity that I was ignoring because bread is cheap and easy.I'm so happy to put extra effort into the food I eat now, because it's just a small amount of dedication and it really has made my life more worth living. Also, it's nice to have somebody else here on the forums who puts a 'u' in 'colour'.
