Im not sure where to start when trying to share all the information I absorbed last night! Please note - Paleo isnt everyones cup of tea, but for me its something I feel is very black and white, Ive tried so many different diets - they all sucked. Paleo is a way of life, its not a diet. Its easy as soon as you have the knowledge, I love it, I dont feel restricted, I dont count calories, I just eat, good food and lots of it when Im hungry. Perfect really. One of the biggest things verified for me would be the need for good fats and feeling confident and comfortable eating them. Although I already have a higher fat diet and know the importance of good fats, sometimes I still hold onto the thought that fat is bad like its been drummed into our heads for so many years. Bottom line is fat isnt bad, not the good stuff (avocados, nuts, coconut oil, salmon egg yolks! etc) we need them for optimal health. Sugar is evil, Low fat is evil, disguised as the better option. Its not. Minimal sugar/carb, moderate protein, high amounts of fibrous veggies and greens, good fats and some seasonal fruit is the key to optimal health! (As organic as we can) Another thing that really hits home for me is what we feed our children - the ones we love more than anything in the world. We have 5 and they eat pretty good most of the time - but theres things I need to change. When they do something good for example Shanti grades to her next Karate belt her reward for her hard work and dedication is a maccas trip since we very rarely go there. This is ridiculous. Im rewarding her with something I would never feed my body. Why allow her or her siblings to feed on something thats potentially lining them up for multiple health issues, obesity, anxiety, etc etc.....I seriously could go on and on. This I need to change among other things. Maybe some seedlings for a vegie garden is a much better option and you know, Im pretty certain shed actually enjoy planting them and watching them grow so much more!! Got a question or want to know more just shoot me a message or pull me aside at Bootcamp or PT. Best part of it all its free. Everything you need to know is free online.
