Day 2 was hard!!
Here is what I found to eat:
Breakfast: banana/mango/strawberry smoothie (with a little almond milk and apple juice mixed in) - my own recipe and actually very delicious!
Lunch: tuna (with pimentos and homemade mayo), leftover baked apple (with walnuts and raisins), hard boiled egg
Dinner: (grilled out!) 1 chicken sausage, a little piece of extra lean beef, grilled peppers and onions, 1/2 mango, 1/2 cup almond milk
An especially hard part for me is that we have these delicious walnut brownies I made as a last hoorah on Sunday - and ate two as my dinner on Sunday night - sitting on our kitchen counter and Emily and Kelli won't finish them!
Also, had a discussion with Jacob and Emily tonight about what is better (?):
1. To go 100% Paleo, "cold turkey" as they say -or-
2. Ease into the diet
What do you think?????
Emily says that in her job in tobacco cessation they always recommend "cold turkey." I think this is based on lots of research, or maybe just the fact that doctors can't really "recommend" that one of their patients smokes cigarettes at all.
Jacob made the point that there are plenty of things, such as training for a marathon, that you need to build up to and ease into. Especially if you want to make a long term change to something as big as your diet.
Then again, do you get the benefits of the Paleo Diet if you don't go super hard core about it all at once? The book I read seems to advocate a wholehearted approach... I guess you need to get your metabolism to switch over to a fat-for-energy rather than carbs-for-energy model, right?
