So...after giving this Paleo thing about 10 days to settle in...I think I can officially attribute a lack of #2's in my life to going Paleo! In my previous, carb consuming, endurance athlete lifestyle...I enjoyed my "regularity," which could be clocked with minute prevision, to my daily delight. Nowadays...woooh....no ma'am, not so much. Few and far between can best describe those actions. So what steps did I take to verify these newfound conclusions??? I....googled it : ) And...yep! I am not alone! So if you're thinking about going Paleo...don't be alarmed when your poop calendar becomes completely revised.
I do have bad news to express....unfortunately, I do think that Paleo affects spin capabilities. Today was my 4th spin experience since going Paleo...and that same "oomph" that gets my heart rate up to a good 95% of my max, just isn't there!! Ahhhh....I try, dammit...but those little legs just won't spin!! The up side of that depressing Paleo tidbit is the fact that with a daily consumption of only 20% carbs and a whoppin' 40% fat (mostly good fats)..."maxing out" at a lower heart rate will burn more of that fat rather than search around for carbs. So ha! :)
New menu items:
London broil with a garlic arugula pesto rub
Seared balsamic tuna steaks over spinach & arugula salad
Roasted pork loin with peach-pecan glaze
Yum! :) Time to eat....I'm outta here
Yeah, I would have to comment on THIS post:) But I noticed the same thing when I started Metabolic Effect and more so as I weaned myself to an only-whole foods (and almost Paleo) diet. I never thought to google it but now I'm smacking my forehead - "DUH!" Thanks for the detective work. When I was living on whole grain toast and carbs in general, my body was a WRECK. It's much happier now. Sounds like yours is too:)
