I've gone back to trying the paleo way of eating, and actually having some success at it this time. Before, I always gave in to the siren song of processed carbs. Mainly due to sandwiches and tortilla chips to eat with salsa. Today was my third day, and my second almost totally paleo day. No processed carbs anywhere(with the exception of sugar for my coffee). I feel fantastic. I don't have cravings or hunger, and as you can see, I am losing weight. I have been keeping a close watch on my appetite and the way I feel during the last three months as I dieted. The biggest thing I have noticed is that when I cut out the processed carbs, I am not crashing, and I don't feel sluggish after eating. I would estimate my current eating habits at 90% paleo. I am not ready to give up coffee yet(probably never), but I am weaning off sugar, using stevia instead.

I could do this indefinitely. The way I feel is well worth it. AND, I found a substitute for tortilla chips with salsa. Pork rinds work fantastic, and actually end up being fewer calories per serving.

Tessa, I have to give you a huge thank you for the contest. It helped to motivate me when I would have stopped tracking my food, and got me into the habit. Having yours and Tina's support helped tremendously, as well.

  1. Great Job Byron!!!! You ended the competition on a great note loosing all that weight!!!!
    I agree. This challenge was very motivating. I think that even though I had bad times, they would have been worse with out it! And without it I probably not have gained you as a blogger friend, and I'm so glad I did!
    Keep up the great work!!!
