My primal beginnings

I am undertaking this challenge with the knowledge that at this juncture, there are certain items I am unwilling to give up. My goal will be to eat roughly 85-90% within the scope of the primal/paleo diet, but still allow myself the luxury of a few choice foods. I think it makes sense to have reasonable expectations, and given that this is my first official foray into the vicissitudes of the paleolithic, I must be gentle with myself. That being said, I am making a pact to blog about what I eat, every day for thirty days. I promise to be 100% honest about everything I eat for the next thirty days. I make this pact with the knowledge that I will have a much better sense of my diet at the end of the month. I also forsee some difficulty in holding to the diet in July, given that I will be in the UK for two full weeks. I will stick to Angela's list of foods, with the exception of dairy, which I will try to scale back but not cut out entirely.

  1. Great! I will join you in your pact to blog everything I eat for the next 30 days, and to be completely honest about it :)

    Perhaps buying PaleoKits would make sense for you to take with you on your trips. Even a few might save you in a bad situation :)
