Day 1

Hi All, Thanks for including me in your 30 day paleo challenge. I am leaving for vacation on June 19th so mine might be more like 20 days but here we go...
Food for May 31:
salad w/romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onion, grilled chicken, avocado, 1 egg, olive oil and vinegar
1 banana
3 eggs scrambled
cantelope
15-20 cashews
taco salad with tomatoes, lettuce, steak, chicken and guacamole
strawberries
apple and cinnamon tea

I miss my dark chocolate already!!! But for a sweet treat try celestial seasonings apple cinnamon spice herbal tea, it is really good and satisfies that need for something sweet. Limiting the nuts will be key for me as well. 2 oz. per day sounds like a good idea, I'm gonna try that tomorrow.

Is everyone keeping a daily food journal?
Would it be helpful/useful to share on a daily basis?

Paleo meal recipes ...

Hi Guys!

I was browsing on the internet about what to make for dinner and lunch for tomorrow, and I found this website www.fastpaleo.com. There are very interesting recipes and I will give it a try tonight. You should check it out!

Q: There are some recipes with coconut flour... Should I add coconut flour to the diet? I kind of feel that I will be cheating if I do it! lol!

Hi guys! I too am ready. Shorts were a little snug this weekend.

Sophie, you might want to add fish oil supplements to your daily intake. they are supposed to help with boosting the metabolism. I forgot mine this am but will take them tonite.

Let's get this party started

Exciting to see that everyone was pumped to start today!
Let's get some amazing results.
I've been thinking about what I can improve on from the first time I did this....I think limiting my nut munching is going to be my challenge. I'm thinking of setting aside 2 oz of nuts and locking the rest up for the day!

Anyone else have thoughts or tips to share on how to make this even more efficient?
