I've done the primal diet before (also called the Paleo diet, etc, etc). I've very much stopped following it, though, because, well... Cakes, cookies, Mtn. Dew, pie, cupcakes. I love junk food. And that's a problem. Since Rhed and I have decided to try all these crazy (and not so crazy) internet challenges, we decided it was a perfect time to challenge ourselves to eat better. She's doing the Whole30, which is a lot more strict than the challenge I've set for myself. While we're basing this blog on fitness challenges that may or may not be realistic, I figured that the primal diet is something I want to stick with, so I want a challenge I can meet. And since I will be A) apartment hunting in a city 1.5 hours away B) moving and C) road tripping during this challenge, I knew Whole30 was NOT for me.
Anyway, my challenge: Eat "primal diet approved" foods for 30 days. No cakes. No cookies. No soda. *sad face* My diet for the next thirty days will include lots of good eats, moderate okay eats, and (hopefully!) no bad eats. Week one's meal plan to come!
Good Eats:
Meat
Eggs
Veggies
Nuts/Seeds
Good Fats (butter, coconut oil, olive oil)
Fruits
Green beans, sugar snap peas
Water
Okay Eats:

Dark chocolate
Tea sweetened with natural stevia

Soy sauce (gluten free)
Bad Eats:
Grains (wheat, barley, rice, etc, etc)
Legumes (beans, and peanuts; excepting the above)
Processed foods
Refined Sugar
Bad fats
