Eating Good Stuff

Tonight I went to a seminar given by Mark Sisson, author of "The Primal Blueprint" and several other books, but better known to me as the "Mark's Daily Apple" guy. I was going to blog about all of the benefits of eating a Paleo diet... or as Mark likes to call it, "Primal Eating", but I am really not good retelling information that I learn. It makes sense in my head, but when it comes out of my mouth its like... processed food... bleh!

The seminar did further solidify for me why cutting grains (especially) from my diet is a good thing... deep, I know. As you probably know, I'm not at all a sciency person, so I won't even try to explain that side of it to you. I am a feely person though, so what I will tell you is that over the past five months of eating Paleo, I feel so much better than I have ever felt... at least that I can remember, not to mention I am stronger and faster in my workouts.

The funny thing is that it really is pretty effortless. I don't worry any more about how much or when I'm eating, as long as its meat, fish, veggies, nuts, seeds, or fruit, I'm good to go! So I guess that is all I am going to say... except that I highly recommend you check out Mark's books or his blog and explore the thought of cutting grains from your diet... even if its just a 30 day experiment... see how you feel. That is how I started, and I really can't imagine going back. If you want to know more about my experience of eating this way or have questions, please don't hesitate to ask me :)
