Persuaded to Paleo
So I watched this movie on Amazon called The Perfect Human diet and it made a lot of sense. I'd always thought people who did Paleo were a bit extreme but it's actually a pretty easy diet(as long as you don't go extreme and cut milk and all sugar out... I mean come on, I'm only human). Basically you don't eat any grains or legumes. They advise against white potatoes because they're high glycemic so it's very similar to eating sugar. What interested me was the phylates in grains which are pretty much a toxin. They prevent your body from absorbing nutrients. So that made sense to me. I cut out the grains and BAM, I felt like hell.
I was shocked. Wasn't I supposed to be feeling better? Losing weight and having more energy? Then I did some more research and it turns out that when you cut out grains your body starts detoxing and getting rid of all that crap it's stored up from your years of mistreatment. So I rode out the detox.
Now, I'm feeling better, though I wouldn't say I've got huge amounts of energy. My skin is where I see the most difference actually. I've always had problems with acne and it was the only thing that had me looking forward to aging but then I began to get wrinkles and still had the acne. I've had it to the point where it's under control with the use of birth control pills and a wonderful soap called cutacura but I'd still get a few around my period without fail. This month... nothing. In fact, I've been getting compliments on my skin. So, if nothing else, thank you Paleo for that.
If any of you out there are doing Paleo and would like to talk about it, please email me either here or on my yahoo at VervainLavine@yahoo.com I'd love to trade recipes and hear what you have to say.
