Getting Started
Make a List of Go-To Convenience Foods
Even the most prepared people find that sometimes they’re out and about, hungry, and don’t have any snacks on them. Keep a list on your phone, in your purse, or in your wallet of snacks that will work and are convenient.
Some ideas include deli meat, bananas, apples, beef jerky, nuts, hard boiled eggs, and dried fruit. A salad without processed dressing can also be good – try squeezing a lemon on it for flavor.
You might also consider a can of tuna, Larabars (a commercial snack bar made from dates), guacamole and fresh veggies, and even a few squares of dark chocolate.
Eating out isn’t ideal when following the Paleo lifestyle, but you can do it from time to time without straying from good health. Just don’t be afraid to order your meal customized for your plan – they’re used to special requests.
The Paleo Diet has many benefits. Most people who are beginning this program are looking to lose weight. By changing your lifestyle to the Paleo diet you’ll make sure you have success in losing weight.
But there many other benefits of this program including:
- Reducing inflammation in the body that can lead to chronic disease and aging
- Better sleep
- Higher energy levels
- Hormonal balance
- Decrease in gas and bloating
- Improved cholesterol
- Lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes
- Reduction in allergies
- Better muscle tone and fewer aches and pains
- A feeling of improved mood
Who wouldn’t want to have these additional health benefits? By following this simple program, you can feel better than you’ve ever felt before. And while this plan may seem very different from the way you’re eating now, you’ll find that it’s actually simple to follow.
One way to stay motivated to get started and stick with the Paleo diet is to track your progress. For some people, this will solely be based on weight loss. But it’s a good idea to look beyond the numbers on the scale as you determine the effectiveness of the diet.
You can take photos of yourself at the beginning and then weekly to see if you can visualize any changes. You can also keep a journal about your energy levels, any health problems that you’ve experienced, and generally how you feel.
Seeing problems improve and getting closer to your goals will help you stay committed to the Paleo diet – even when it’s tempting to give up. The longer you do it, though, the better you’ll feel and the more results you’ll be able to document.
