first 2 days of paleo

Meals:
Bfast: mostly eggs, a little fruit, and coconut milk in my coffee, although today I ate 'spinach-egg muffins" which are like mini-quiches. Mmm...

Lunch: mostly salads with chicken, veggies, olives, etc.

Dinner: bunless burgers with grilled onions, avocado, and tomatoes, with a side of sweet potato fries. Then last night, we had taco salad with seasoned ground turkey, homemade cilantro vinaigrette, homemade salsa, and grilled veggies. Delicious!

Snacks/desserts: frozen banana blended up with coconut milk, coconut flakes, and a dash of vanilla. So much like ice-cream!

How did it go? Delicious, satisfying, great. Although, I did seem to struggle with fatigue a little.

Things to consider:
Time: In the future, I will not always want to take the time to prepare homemade salsa and homemade dressing, so I need to make sure plan meals that are simple sometimes.
Also, it takes a lot of time to plan far ahead (look up recipes, go shopping, prep ingredients, etc.) So I need to make sure to set aside enough time for success.
Processed foods: many already jarred dressings and sauces should be paleo friendly (without loads of additives, sugar, etc.) but it has been hard to find. But, the food revolution is all about staying away from processed foods, so this will be a great way for me to start living that way. I don't need no corn company to fill my meals full of byproducts that are completely unnecessary and possibly slowly killing me!
