| My lunch, avoiding what I wasn't supposed to eat |
It was really good, but one thing I noticed--I was hungry again after eating within an HOUR! I wanted to run home and eat more food but I was stuck at my desk feeling starving... like I used to be all the time before I went on this diet. It's really surprising how much more filling eating Paleo is. I should probably just bring a can of coconut milk with me wherever I go and chug it at random intervals. Would people look at me funny? I like my cavewoman foods!
Anyway, tomorrow morning before the sun comes up I'm going to the airport! Yup, I have someone special to visit this weekend. So not only will I have a good time, I also get to try to eat Paleo on the road. I've got some bacon, chicken sausage, bananas, and an orange all ready to go.
It's so weird how I used to look forward to flying because I could load up on whatever sugary pastries, fast food, and overpriced coffee I could find. But now all I'm starting to remember from eating that way is that I was feeling hungry all the time and tired and never satisfied. Anyway, I'm sure I'll eat these foods again one day but right now I'm thinking it'll be a lot more rare than it used to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for enjoying life, but it's nice to make the choice, "Do I want to feel at my best today or do I want to treat myself?" and not just shovel things in my face randomly.
it's nice to read how much you are enjoying the challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what kimchi is but I remember having the exact same reaction after eating a burrito one day. A BIG burrito ... like the size of my upper arm. composed mostly of rice and beans, and maybe 2 ounces of chicken. When I finished it I was still hungry!!!!! crazy. I felt like I had just eaten 2 ounces of chicken and nothing else. it was definitely an "OK where's the real food now??" kind of feeling

ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how hungry carbs make you? there had to have been sugar in that marinade for that korean dish I had.
ReplyDeleteanyway, I'm reading this great book now about how carbohydrates stimulate insulin production in our bodies and how insulin makes us hungrier and makes us store more fat! check out my next post if you're interested! :) (I'm a dork!)
