Day 122: Paleo
I'm going pure paleo for two weeks starting next Monday (Cave Connie started today): no dairy (eggs ok), no coffee, no alcohol, no sugar, nothing processed at all, nothing that a caveman could not have rustled up.
The Diet (From Bob Hogden):
The rules of the Paleolithic Diet are simple: Only eat what was available to the early hunter-gatherers. Foods which are edible raw. All other foods should be avoided. In effect this is the factory specified diet.
Do Eat: Meats and Fish, Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, and Berries.
Do Not Eat: Grains, Beans, Potatoes, Dairy, Sugar.
On this diet you don't count calories or carbs. You eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full. I snack all the time on nuts and fruit. Any food of any kind from the "Do Eat" list is OK. All foods from the "Do Not Eat" category are strictly forbidden--no exceptions! It takes some will power at first, but after a week or two the cravings for the old foods go away.
I am going to further refine this diet by applying zone principals as well.
5AM 1 cup Milk = 1 block
7AM open face breakfast sandwich with diabetic lifestyles bread and egg beaters, leftover tuna curry = 3 blocks
Noon Turkey Burger with veggies = 4 blocks
4PM 1 cup Greek Yogurt, cup blueberries, 1/4 oz almonds = 4 blocks
8PM 2 glasses red wine, chicken & green onions = 4 blocks
Block Target = 16 blocks
Block Total = 16 blocks
Workout:
7 rounds for time of:
95 pound Sumo-deadlift high-pull, 10 reps
10 Ring dips
Time: 6:54
