In starting a new lifestyle, there are always soooooo many questions. So I, and the coaches would like to answer any that you may have. Why are we doing it a certain way for the program? Why am i not allowed to eat beans? Why not eat snacks in between each meal? Why does Ryan smell so bad? Just seeing if you were still paying attention. Please ask freely. This will also help come up with more specific topics for Saturdays meeting.
Keep up the progress and stay positive! So proud of you all!

How did you first hear about Paleo and what was your motivations for giving it a try? (And why does Ryan smell bad?)

Why not eat snacks between each meal? Is this true?

why is it that when i eat something now that i usually ate before going paleo i get bad headaches? maybe its just mental but my boyfriend is following this too and he has had the same issue. Needless to say it makes it much easier to stay on the paleo path. Also what things do you allow yourselves that arent paleo ?

The headaches are your body's way of telling you NO! This is not good for me and i am going to fight you on it! Yes, it doesn make it easier to eat right. I usually get an upset stomach when i eat bad foods, to each their own.

I was talking to my chiropractor about my lifestyle change and he also recommends a total body cleanse. What are your thoughts? Did you do a cleanse?

Why am I hungry two hours after I eat a full meal of veggies and meat? I thought the Paleo diet was supposed make me less hungry and not have to snack?

I was given the food pyramid chart that shows meat, fish and eggs on the bottom tier, veggies next tier, fruits next and finally nuts/berries. So does that mean I should try to stick with the meat/fish/eggs as the main focus and limit the nuts/berries???? I find myself eating mostly fruit, almond butter, cashews or almonds and larabars all day and then my supper is meat/salad/veg. I am not usually hungry but getting tired of same old stuff.

Congrats on the improvements Connie! Yes, meats and vegetables should be your focus. While almond butter and larabars are paleo, you still want to make sure youre not overdoing it on one thing. The nuts and fruits would be at the top, so you want to moderate how much you eat of those two things. Of course eat them, and let them be your "go to." But dont get caught up in a rut eating those same things all the time. Switch it up!

All this talk about snacking!!! What's the best the thing to do; eat a meal or snack after a workout? (Keep in mind not everybody works out first thing in the am or at night) also what food items are better after a workout? I know after cardio and lifting the first thing I think about isn't food, it's an ice cold water!

Jarrat, love the water idea! Just make sure you are hydrating enough DURING your workout. You shouldnt be dying of thirst after your workout. Hydrate throughout the day.

I only eat when I am hungry, no matter what! I always drink a bunch after working out, but if I am not hungry for hours afterward, or if it is close to bedtime, I won't eat at all. The best part of this diet to me is not being hungry all the time :)

I may not be able to eat till 8:30 or later some nights and I'm not hungry till then too. How late is too late and how long should you wait to go to bed? I have been drinking a hot tea at night too with a touch of honey. Is there anything wrong with that?

I find that I am not hungry all the time. I also find that I don't have mood swings, which didn't dawn on me until someone else mentioned it. I am less tired. I also am having a hard time breaking "food timing" habits. I still get up and put something in my mouth within 30 mins of waking. I am trying to listen to my body now and find its working better. I am also still afraid of not having something to eat before I workout. I have been using a larabar at times. (Don't want to buy the protein powder I had been using in the past). So this is something I will need to work on yet as well.

Oh and I also have trouble finding time to eat depending on where i am working. So far I haven't gotten any trouble when I say I need to go eat because I am hungry. I really need to break the habit of standing while eating at work. This profession (nursing/EMS) doesn't afford you time to sit and eat all the time. Otherwise I am being very mindful. How about the rest of you?

It took me YEARS to break myself of eating while standing, eating while driving, and all those bad things I picked up volunteering on the ambulance. I am still "immune" to caffeine from that time in my life, I could drink half a pot of coffee and go straight to sleep afterwards. Leave a Reply. |
