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!

Week 2 Feeling Better Already!

This is soooo easy! I don't have to count carbs, or calories, or servings. I can eat when I'm hungry. Fruit satisfies the sweet tooth. I don't have cravings for chocolate or pasta or bread. Meat, nuts, fruits and veggies are doing the trick! I also am feeling more limber, not so achy in my joints and muscles. I also am having an easier time waking up in the mornings. Typical food day for me: a couple of eggs with bacon crumbles and fruit for breakfast, a sandwich made on romaine lettuce and fruit for lunch, a handful of nuts in the afternoon, meat and veggies for dinner, maybe fruit or nuts for a snack in the evening.

As for Dave, he says he just feel better. He used to drink equivelant to 6-12 cans of diet pop daily. Now he has one. He just hasn't been able to give it up totally yet but 1 is so much better than 6-12!!! He is drinking lots more water and loves v-8 juice with a little tabasco. He just switched to the low sodium variety though! The regular stuff has an incredible amount of sodium!! Dave's food day is similar but he is out and about town most days at lunch time. He has been doing salads at Subway for lunch.

I received the books. Now I just need time to read them!!

Week 2 weight loss total:
Dave 9lbs
LaDonna 6lbs
