Paleo Diet ~Low Carb Eating ..For Oh So Many Reasons

Low Carb Eating...who knew it would change my life. Seriously, I was a roller coaster mess before that. My insulin swinging to and fro. Trust me when I say I went begrudgingly. I was at one point in my life a serious Vegan, but after two years of that I was driving around in L.A. during the day with my headlights on and very spaced out.  I decided to put an end to that when a friend begged me to have some protein. I drove over to Whole Foods Market and Bought some organic Fillet Mignion and it felt like everything started to return to me,my body started to tingle, my focus and my brain was back..I missed it..for real. I still didnt want it to be true though and i decided to try different combos, always hoping to return to my veganism.

To be honest to this day, at this very moment,  I still in my heart of hearts wish i could be a vegan but i just cant do it. Maybe when i've healed my gut issues and my pre-diabetic blood levels and the fact that I'm an O-blood type and the fact that it balances your hormones and gives my brain a serious boost....basically once i've healed ...we'll see. Hope run's eternal:)  The reason i mention it is that I am on day two of basically a paleo diet, and it's undeniable the difference it makes on my mind and even more remarkable the difference it makes on my emotional eating.  I have had cravings come up but the green tea I'm drinking and the cultured sauerkraut pull me through as well. No desire to bust into the 7-11 and buy a large bag of sour cream and onion chips and a whole lotta chocolate etc...emotional food binges make me feel like I'm the biggest bottomless pit on the planet. I just hate myself afterward not to mention that I've fed all those little parasites and candida organisims...it's like a chinese buffet time for them.

 I also tried the Dukan diet recently and I found it super helpful with the Candida, after about 3 days on that i was bursting with some serious energy. The only problem with it is, it cant help but feel a little boring after a few days, that's why I think Paleo in the long run makes sense and i found a great website with killer recipes called Paleodietlifestyle.com, their free too. Bonus!  Ok, well, I know supposedly an alkaline diet is suppose to be really good for some people as well, but i think for the next 3 months I'm going to go very low carb. I"ll let you know how it goes.
