Just so those of you reading this that are trying to be Paleo don't think that I'm perfect and get annoyed with me I feel I need to share that I do have non-Paleo moments. I love focusing on the positives about living this way but right now I'm talking about the negatives, CRAVINGS! Let me just say, lately I've been craving pizza. Now, I have been gluten-free for over a year so cravings like that are easier to manage. (I have had pizza once in the last year!) Anyway, being Paleo is a whole other story. For example if I'm being totally honest, I just grabbed a handful of my moms potato chips and inhaled them... Not proud of that but it happened. So maybe if I write out all the foods I miss it will be therapeutic? Anyway I feel ya'lls pain so here it goes:
Foods Anna Misses the Most:
Cheese
Cheesy Pizza
Cheese Quesadilla's
Macaroni and Cheese
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (yes there is a pattern here)
Sour Cream
BBQ Potato Chips
Strawberry Milk

I think everyone's cravings are so unique, what are your cravings? These are what I think about when I have a weak moment, I try very hard not to indulge and am successful for the most part but every once in a while... I think it's best to just avoid your weaknesses, like alcoholics shouldn't hang out at a bar and all that... Remember these foods damage your body! Stay strong! It's worth it!
The Benefits I've noticed the most in my life:
Balanced Energy
Anti-Inflammation
Improved Sleep
What has Paleo changed for you?
