After Shane had gone through many different diet plans to
shed those few pounds he had put on after his bodybuilding show, it seemed like
he had had enough. Nothing was working
for him. So he told me he was going to try the “Paleo” diet where you can’t eat
anything a caveman in the Paleolithic era wouldn’t have had. I told him “That
is just silly.” I did NOT plan on doing this dietary idea with him. I liked my
carbs and cheese way too much! Especially since I’m already skinny, I thought
if I started a diet with no whole grain, no bread, no dairy, I
would get TOO skinny.
Well it turns out that when you’re married to a hungry man
you can’t keep ANYTHING against his diet in the house, even something healthy
like wheat bread or yogurt. I would wake up in the morning to like 5 empty cups
of yogurt by the bed. Then he would get all sad because it went against his
diet and he ate it all in the wee-hours of the night when he would wake up
hungry. I felt bad because I knew he
really wanted to keep up this diet. So I was forced to try this diet with him.
I kept only “Paleo” food in the house so he wouldn’t sleep eat.
We started out doing Paleo not knowing exactly what to do.
We were just like “Ok only meat, veggies, and fruit.” But there is so much more
you can do! As we got more into it, the more recipes and cool stuff we found
out about Paleo. All of our trainers started joining in with it too. What
really sold me was when I saw my face start to clear up. I have always lived
with those nasty pimples on my face and I would try everything to get them
gone! Finally something worked! Shane lost 33 lbs and is back to his
competition weight. He is so happy and that makes me happy! So now I’m hooked!!
…I still haven’t completely given up on
my coffee or cheese yet… it’s my only vice! But it’s ok to not be super strict!
You can join in on the Paleo idea and
not give up EVERYTHING! But I think you’d be happy to find you can replace almost
any treat you love with a Paleo recipe!
I know you will love this too, so we’re having a free
seminar on “What is Paleo?” to educate El Paso about this new dietary idea that
is working miracles! We hope to see you there Saturday at Noon!
