So Turkey day came & went & of course I went off my diet. Oh CHILD! Gained a bit of weight, but eh...I will tell you what has happened to my body since I got off Atkins:
1. My allergies have hit me full force - so congested!
2. The Bloat came back full swing. WHOA!
3. Slept way too much
Ok-now with that being said, here's what I've done since. I am cheating on Atkins with The Cabbage Soup Diet. Since then this is what has happened:
1. Allergies still suck
2. Bloating has gone away
3. Losing weight
And here are my thoughts....As you all know, I've been searching for the "Answer" to my weight loss. In the beginning I knew my body was out of whack - i.e. hormones, etc. Now I am more of just following through to see how my body responds. I've really thought going vegan or raw was the answer, but I will admit it's really hard! So with that being said, I think I may have found somewhat of an answer. After countless hours on the interwebs, I have found the Paleo Diet. It's a perfect mix of no grains, dairy or sugar! YIPPEE! Because going gluten free is hard to find recipes, but Paleo peops have their food down to a science. It includes grass fed meats & tons of veggies + complex carbs. I know, I've been all over creation with this, but I am excited. Just excited because I can cook (YES-I am still digging it) & be healthy & not completely give up things. It's hard to explain, but just a feeling of ultimate health sounds like bliss to me.
Ah bliss...who doesn't want it?!?! So my friends, my journey continues, but it continues with a genuine wink & smile.
Love!
