So I started a 30 day paleo diet challenge. I ate extremely healthy before, except for the daily beer, handfull of chips/candy. On August 1st, I cut out all refined sugar, all artificial sweetners, all grains and processed foods.
Eating the following -
Grass fed beef/free range chickens/pig/buffalo, free range eggs, tuna/salmon
organic vegetables/fruits
nuts - macadamia/almonds
oils/fats - coconut milk/olive oil/avacados
Drink my morning coffee, then only water the rest of the day.
Being 3 weeks in, I've dropped almost 15lbs. The first 3-4 days, I felt AWFUL. My body was craving the sugar I was putting in every night and I was waking up in the morning feeling like I drank a bottle of jack. Had headaches, would get dizzy while working out and no energy....
After the first initial shock was over, I feel absolutely great now. I wake up feeling energized, ready to go all day and more focus.
If anyone is interested in more info, shoot me a PM
