Fat really DOES make me feel satiated! That was definitely a lightbulb moment.
Fat binges lead to nausea. Carb binges lead to more carb binges. Vegetable binges lead to really painful stomach aches.
It's really, really difficult for me to practice portion control with nuts.
Paleo food really does taste delicious. It took me a few months to learn how to NOT scarf down my food and actually slowly chew and TASTE it. But OMG, hello flavor! Paleo is definitely the tastiest diet I've ever been on.
IF is very eye opening. It helped me relearn what hunger feels like.
I exercise better on an empty stomach.
I function better in general on an empty stomach.
It is possible to develop an allergy to chocolate. FML.
Dealing with the mental side of dieting makes ANY diet easier. Acknowledging and working through my food issues was a huge step in making Paleo a positive experience for me.
Exercise makes you look and feel better only when your diet is good. Exercise doesis not someany kind of miracle for me. For me, tweaking my diet was much, much, MUCH more effective than adding/changing my exercise routine. Exercise complements a good diet, and it cannot make up for a bad one.
Just because I can tolerate processed foods, gluten + grains, sugar, dairy, nuts and fruit DOES NOT MEAN I should eat them. Most of the time I am better without them.
Paleo does not solve all of my problems. Wish it did, but it doesn't.
