Day 2: Sugar withdrawl

The second consecutive day of any change is difficult.

As I've mentioned before, I eat pretty healthy. What many of you don't know is that I am a sugar-holic. I know better. Diabetes runs in my family so if I'm not careful I will have the disease as well. Because I am very active I don't have to worry as much about it but I eat way too many sweets. My sugar of choice is anything peanut butter or any type of cookie. If it's a peanut butter cookie... GAME OVER!

Today I experienced a headache for most of the afternoon. This is probably because besides the fruit I'm consuming, I'm not eating any sugar. My body does not like this. It will get use to it though!

I woke up and had a smoothie with blueberries, strawberries, almond milk and a raw egg. The almond milk hid the flavor of the egg which I loved because I don't really enjoy eggs. Let alone raw ones.

On the way to work I munched on some almonds which I'm also growing to enjoy. This held me over until 2:15ish when I had lunch.

For lunch I had leftover salmon and brussel sprouts. I wasn't starving like I expected to be probably because I didn't work out today.

I got home around 8:40 still wasn't hungry but forced myself to eat something. Last week I purchased a Paleo Living Social deal that came with a bunch of different meats, veggies, and nuts. I decided to fix a chicken breast. My boss gave me a bag of kale that I made for a side. Since I wasn't all that hungry I just cut everything in half and will have it for lunch or dinner tomorrow.

My advice to anyone whose planning on making changes to their diet whether it be paleo or not, be prepared to feel bad before you feel better. My headache has since disappeared and I'm feeling just fine. We will see what day 3 has in store!
