Down 24.5 lbs!

I lost 6.5 more lbs! Or 2.95 kilos! YES!!! That makes my total lost to date: 24.5 lbs or 11.14 kilos.
This is after 7 weeks of eating paleo/primal. An average of 3.5 lbs(1.59kilos) a week. I much prefer pounds. :-)

What I found absolutely amazing about all of this is that I am HARDLY EVER HUNGRY. For realz yo. That is something I never experienced on any other diet or way of eating. I don't even look at it as a diet anymore, but simply more of a lifestyle way of eating. I honestly don't like how I feel if I eat breads, grains, and sugars. They were killing me in more ways than one. I have not felt one ounce of deprivation and can easily pass up sugary snacks and everything else that comes my way. Color me happy!

This weight loss comes after a couple of weeks where I wasn't seeing the scale budge despite sticking to the diet.( I think it was stress) I just started a new job and I was wondering how everything would work out with preparing food for work, stress of a high volume call center, feeling self-concious about eating all this nommy food in front of unbelievers, and simply wondering if I could stick to it. Surprisingly, I had no troubles. I made some great food and stuck to it.

I know a nutritionist trained in the food pyramid would throw a hissy fit and start head rolling if they saw this menu. But you know what they can't argue? The way I feel. How can extra energy, better sleep, clearer skin, weight loss, and a clearer head be a bad thing?? These are the best benefits! I wasn't getting ANY of that on a conventional diet. None. It's all been a big, fat lie. I know better now.
