Primal?? What's that?!
The Primal lifestyle follows the way of eating and exercising our ancestors practiced. Allowed foods include meats, nuts, seeds, veggies, and fruits. Avoid processed foods, all grains (including corn), all legumes (including peanuts, peas, and all beans), and sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup). You eat when you are hungry, you stop when you are satisfied. There you go! That's about it. How easy is that!!!! For more information check out Brandon's blog, http://www.spokaneprimal.com/. He has lots of information, recipes, and links. Stay tuned to watch our health progress!

The Decision
Dave's son Brandon has been eating Paleo/Primal for several years. We have heard him talk about it and how wonderful it is. Then Dave's daughter and son-in-law, Mike and Rhiannon, adopted the lifestyle change. We have been talking about it, asking questions, etc. for several months, tossing around whether to take the jump and give up our carbo lives. While visiting Mike and Rhiannon this past weekend, we decided to give it a try for a couple of months and see where we are. Dave jumped right in. I was hesitant, wanting to wait a week or so to start. I knew I needed to clean the carbs out of the house or I would eat them! I also knew I would have trouble not having cereal for breakfast. I don't have the time or clearness of head to do more than pour a bowl of cereal in the mornings! Dave agreed to fix my breakfast in the mornings. I will start this life plan next week- after I have a couple more bowls of cereal!
