It also gets you into a weird food-guilt mindset which is difficult to manage...Like a weird paleo eating disorder where you constantly second guess every food option until you just give up and eat a whole chocolate cake. Looking back, I suppose a "diet" plan created by a drug addict wasn't the best idea after all. :-) I did learn that my body doesn't like wheat, but overall, I think the experience was more negative than anything.
I've been sorta-mostly-paleo lately, but it's been a struggle. Anytime I eat carbs now, it's like instant weight gain, but I crave carbs like a motherf-er.
I was going regular workouts with a trainer, but I wasn't recovering, and I ended up really sick and super fatigued, like "I don't have the energy to get out of bed and walk to the toilet" fatigued. Recovering from that broke the habit of going and I so haven't been back to the gym in like 9 months. I walk a decent amount every day, but I think I need to put some strength training back. Just not at the intensity level I was doing before.
So something different might be good. I put "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" in my Amazon list, so I'll def pick it up soon and look it over. Thx!
