homemade diets

Hi there! this isnt exactly a ‘homemade’diet, but it is a eating plan that has been enforced by many athletes for most sports (except bodybuilding) and works very effectivly. My boyfriend and I are currently on it, and he has been for almost ayear now. it is called the Paleo diet. feel free to look it up. here is my explanation:

I am currently on the Paleo diet. Which to its name is not actually a diet. its a eating plan that cuts out saturated fats, carbs, grains, processed foods, dairy, and sugars. I know this sounds daunting, but the idea of the plan is that we have evolved to be able to live off these food groups (carbs, sugars etc etc) when we dont need to (this is why some people are lactose, glucose, sugar, cocoa intolerant etc). The caveman ate fruits, vegetables, red meat, and white meat, adn this has been seen to have the best effect on the human body, and is especially ideal for athletes.

The paleo diet will ultimately switch the bodies energy source from carbs to fats, meaning everything you do will burn fat. AND because you wont be eating carbs, carbs wont make you hungry.

there are some rules that you MUST abide by: NO TO: dairy (milk, cheese, butter, etc), processed foods (that one should be obvious.. note: deli meats are processed), carbs grains (corn, bananas, potato, pasta, wheat, bread, and any flours and baking goods etc), sugars fats: NOTE: sugars are obvious, chocolate, acidic fruits (like oranges, lemon limes), BUT im regards to fats SATURDATED FATS ARE BAD. this is anything in processed foods. beans and legumes: this includes cashews, beans and bean sprouts.

YES TO: fruits and vegetables, eggs, avocadoes (EXCLUDING corn, bananas, potatoes, and acidics), nuts (but only include almonds, walnuts, and nuts that are not concitered beans or legumes), red meat (but cut off the fat, and cook in vegetable oil, as vegetable oils are GOOD FATS), white meat that is fresh (prawns, fish, seafood in general). water.

This paleo challenge MUST be adhered to for one month, to work. NO CHEATING!! THEN you can go back to your old eating habits, or stay paleo. Trust me, you won’t want to go back. you feel to much better! NOTE:: THE FIRST TWO WEEKS WILL SUCK LIKE NOTHING ELSE! this is because your body is switching its energy source. Some people react worse to this than others. NOTE:: you can eat AS MUCH AS YOU WANT of the ‘’YÉS’’ foods. and try to eat every 3-4 hourse depending on your body size. bigger people (muscle or build wise) will need more food, smaller people will need less food. My advise: eat until you are full, eat when you are hungry.

GOOD LUCK! please feel free to funmail me any results and successes you have, OR if you need any advise, or simply want to talk about it. thanks! xx
