Can't believe on I'm day 4 already!
I really need to start upping my "strict Paleo food" intake here. I have been eating what most people would consider an Atkins diet instead of Paleo. I tend to do this because for one; Paleo is pretty expensive and two; Paleo foods aren't as widely available as plain old low carb foods. This isn't a terrible thing. Processed meats aren't exactly ideal but bacon is way better than Krispy Kreme doughnuts any day.
Today, I'm going to go a little more strict on myself. No copious amounts of cheese or processed meats and a little more fruit and veggie.
I feel a lot better now than I did a few weeks ago. My clothes feel a lot looser and I haven't noticed any decreases in my strength. I want to keep my muscle mass as I lean out. Low carb without cutting calories too much works great for this.
I also sleep a lot better when I'm on Paleo. I'm not sure why but I do tend to have vivid dreams when eating low carb. I think this may have something to do with the increased growth hormone levels in my body.
