I final made a leap into the past today and went primal! Woooo! Feeling very excited about it right now.
I was wondering about when to start and how best to fit it into my insane schedule for the next month, but at the same time I was fed up feeling rubbish and lethargic and blah so I got up and did it.
When I say I just did it I don't mean I am totally primal now. There is a lot more to it than just food, but that is where I am starting.
Today's menu:
Breakfast - 3 egg omelette cooked in 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, with 1/2 avocado. 2 oz berries after.
Lunch - 1.5 cups of romaine lettuce, 1 whole yellow pepper, 1 cup raw spinach, 1 cup rocket. Tuna (from a can, though in future will be shopping for fresh when I can afford it). With homemade dressing (2 tbsp olive oil, 1 of red wine vinegar, dried basil and 1 crushed clove garlic)
Dinner - 1 organic chicken breast, 1 cup asparagus, 1 cup courgette.
Snack - 1 oz hazelnuts
Drinks - loads of water and 1 plain white tea
Fitday thinks this is 1,498 clas, 55% fat, 12% carbs and 33% protein. This is less fat than I am used to with Atkins but also less calories.
This is dairy free - I'd normally get more calories from cheese and cream and mayo. But I want to try this mostly dairy free for now, because with Atkins I couldn't get my net carbs above 30g and wonder if dairy is the reason.
But my net carbs from this = 26g so I could be heading for ketosis, which is not what I want. Maybe I should add an apple....
Still lots to learn, but feeling positive!
