Meatball madness days 4-5


Grass fed beef, lamb, pork, yellow onion, roasted poblano peppers, and you mix it all up with some kale on the side.

It was good!


More running commentary to document my Paleo experiment....


I'm feeling pretty good at the start of day 5 and am interested to see what is going to happen next. I am loosing weight every day but that is to be expected at the start of any big diet shift. They say it's "water weight" but when I did a little looking I started to wonder if calling it water weight makes it sound insignificant. If you are carrying around pounds of excess water that is being retained in your tissue....isn't that a good thing to get rid of? What exactly is the difference in water weight and edema? :o
I don't know but my thought is that I do want to drink lots of good clean water and be fully hydrated to a healthy point but that's it. If I have excess water filling up my tissue like a saturated sponge that I don't need for anything good I prefer to shed that. Anyway, I don't really know what I'm talking about, just thinking out loud and I think I'm happy to loose excess weight from all the sources that it is truly "excess" be it fat or water.


Today I am having a grazing day to start off with. I might change by lunchtime or I might stick with it until dinner but the fact is I am not hungry at all for a full breakfast so I'm going to listen to my body and see what happens. I ate a handful of almonds and am halfway into a Bosc pear right now. That's pretty much all I want right now. It might be the BIG chicken on Wed and the meatballs last night that have me set but I'm just not in the mood for a big protein b-fast right now.

More in a day or 2...
