Girl,
no diet is easy. hence the reason why 75% of the word is made up of the harsher word, "die" =/
I really like this 'paleo diet'.. I find it to be the easiest, most realistic, and most satisfying. the first week was pretty hard. but then I got used to it. and what I also noticed was a change in the distribution of fat -- like, my love handles aren't as bad as they used to be a few months ago lol.
I usually stick to this mon-fri because the weekends always get the best of me. I'm sure u know how that goes lol. (hellllllo 5am diner visits).. but when I try to stick to it on the weekends, nonetheless.
I also find that this type of lifestyle is the most stable. like .. with any diet I've tried in the past (I've tried them all! weight watchers --my second favorite; jenny Craig, the zone…), if I fall off for a day, it takes me a week to feel better again. but with this type of eating, it takes me one day to get back on track.
the whole premise is to essentially eat like a 'caveman' and to eat balanced meals of protein, good fats and good carbs.. so most of what I eat consists of eggs, chicken, pork, steak, avocados, almonds (not peanuts), almond butter (alternative to peanut butter), I'll sometimes use light mayo.. various vegetables … u just want to stay away from preservatives/additives (any ingredient u can't pronounce)
it may seem intimidating at first but, in all honesty, it's now. it's really easy. if ur interested, I'd suggest trying it for 2 or 3 weeks..but don’t look at it like a diet or like ur depriving urself , ya know.
and it's easier than u think when ur out at dinner or with friends also. cuz ur not measuring ur food or restricting urself (other than avoiding complex carbs) .. and u'll eventually find urself not obsessing over it like u may typically obsess over 'eating right' when on random diet regimes..
eating this way also gives u more energy and helps ur skin, believe it or not.
there are some good recipes online and stuff also.
I've also read that Jennifer Aniston and Megan fox are 'meat & veggie' girls.. and If they look that good, then fk it, I'll do it. ahahha. my mom also sticks with it and she's in better shape than me.. so.. idk .. it works. I like it. lol
(this is also similar to the diet Kate Middleton was on)
;)
