Going Primal

Yes, as the title states I just recently started trying that popular primal diet/way-of-living/thing and am currently on day 7.  Yeah  I cheated a little at the start--I'm terrible at starting something "hot turkey" (because there is no reason that "stopping cold turkey" can be a thing while "starting hot turkey" cannot--tell your friends) but it looks like I'm doing great now. 

 

For those of you who either live under a bridge or just plain don't care enough to learn about these things, the "Primal Diet" (that link is the best outline there is) is a variation of another lifestyle called "Paleo"--the ideas of which promote eating habits that mimic those of the cavemen.  You are allowed as much meat and veg and fish (but seriously, who likes fish anyways?) as you want, but no grains, sugar, and limited dairy intake.  The idea is to avoid processed foods--steering towards natural sources of fats and proteins.  Oh--and you can eat nuts too...but not fruit because it's too sugary.

Recently I woke-up with a splitting headache--feeling loathsome in general.  I have been incredibly tired as a whole as well--which my father (the certified personal trainer and dietician) attributes to a "sugar withdrawal"...sounds like black magic to me too.  My dad is very gifted as a trainer and diet counselor but whenever he tells me about something crazy like "sugar withdrawal" I remember that this is coming from a man who doesn't believe in the lunar landing and go on my way.
