My wife talked me into doing this with her. She's a runner and wants to cut down on her half-marathon times and I, well, need to lose about 20-25 pounds. I assume this is very similar to the Paleo challenge? I lift, do cardio at lunch about 3x a week, but due to copious amounts of beer consumed and a free-for-all food attitude on the weekends I don't lose any weight or inches. Imagine that....
Here are the rules for 30 Days:
Eat moderate portions of meat, seafood, and eggs; lots of vegetables; some fruit; plenty of natural fats; and herbs, spices, and seasonings. Eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because they’re whole and unprocessed.
Do Not:
- Consume added sugar, real or artificial.
- Consume alcohol (mother#$#$@)
- Eat grains.
- Eat legumes.
- Eat dairy
- Consume carrageenan, MSG, or sulfites.
- Consume baked goods, junk foods, or treats with “approved” ingredients. When in doubt, leave it out.
So, anyone done this or the Paleo challenge? Any thoughts, tips, hints, success stories? Anyone wanna' talk me off the ledge here?
