The podcast I have been obsessed with is Sarah Fragosa and Jason Seib's podcast 'Paleo Lifestyle and Fitness Podcast'. I just bought Jason's book on Amazon because I can't get enough of the podcast. Their advise is simple and it really makes me feel like I can stay on the paleo wagon. They give advise like "hey if you really like meatloaf and sweet potatoes...eat meatloaf and sweet potatoes". I don't have to have 7 gourmet paleo dinners planned out every week. If I really love ground beef (which I frickin do!) eat some ground beef! There whole thing is if it is easy and tasty they would rather have you eat that then eat some crap squeaky chicken and steamed broccoli and then binge on a pint of coconut ice cream and paleo cookies 3 hours later.
Which leads me into "paleo" and "gluten free" paleo food. Just because something says "paleo" or "gluten free" doesn't mean it's a free for all. I'm talking about all the paleo cinnamon rolls and paleo brownie recipes I drool over on the google machine. I mean, don't get me wrong. I have a loaf of gluten free bread in the fridge and 2 half eaten boxes of gluten free chocolate cookies on my counter. This stuff isn't diet food and a fix for my hunger. Sugar is sugar no matter what you call it. Eating paleo donuts is not considered eating good paleo. It's fun but keep it in check folks. Let me tell you a story..or continue my story from my previous post.
I went to whole foods last week and ate a half box of gluten free cookies and 4 chocolate haystacks. Don't know what those are? Go to whole foods. They are amazing.
Did I feel awesome after eating my whole foods "gluten free" binge? No. Absolutely not.
I didn't feel awesome because I didn't eat paleo. I just ate a crap ton of stupid sugar and rice flour. Sure it's better than gluten, but it's still sugar. AND If you didn't know already, sugar and gluten make me feel cRaZy inside. My chest tightens, my tongue feels like it's lifting weights. I don't get it...I just know I'm trying to balance my crap out. So for now, I'm going to hold off buying "paleo" food in packages even though it has the gluten free stamp on it. Instead I'm going to fill up on food I know I LOVE. Like Meatloaf. Check out my awesome recipe. It makes a ton so you can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a couple of days. heaven.
