I have really only been following this Primal stuff for a few days and I can’t believe how immediate the results are! I am ready to wake up in the morning at 7 or 8 whereas before I was sleeping in until 9 or 10 and still wanted to sleep more. I don’t feel bloated in my tummy anymore and my friend noticed yesterday that I already lost weight. My joints feel flexible and I feel really energetic. My mental clarity is amazing and my moods feel even.
And most impressive to me, I am not craving sugars or having any cravings whatsoever! Hunger is different now than when I was eating a high-carb diet. I would get ravenously hungry and would have to eat right away and when I would eat the jitteriness would go away and my mood would get better. Now I don’t get jittery or in a bad mood if I’m hungry and my hunger can wait and eating can be delayed for an hour or two without negative consequences. I am feeling true hunger, but it is much easier to deal with.
For the past few days I’ve been eating lots of nutty and fatty primal bars, full-fat organic and local yogourt mixed with berries, almonds and a tiny bit of raw honey and miso soup broth with loads and loads of spinach and a bit of tempeh and carrot. I am basically doing primal vegetarian right now. It’s a lesser carb load for sure. Slow transitions are best. I am really enjoying my food and when I eat I feel so satiated.
