It’s wonderful to read about all your successes! I’ve been a fitness obsessed person for most of my life, but about 15 years ago I really started into the paleo world and the results have been superb. I’m also an O blood type, so protein is my friend. All of my ratios are optimal and I’ve lost all cravings for sweets and most carbs. You can find gluten-free pizza for cheat days. I haven’t had a bagel or “enriched wheat” products in years. Only in Europe will I touch bread, since they are using ancient grains and are non-GMO.
You do need the yolks, btw. A great breakfast for me consists of two scrambled eggs, an avocado and a few dollops of salsa.
I’m very interested in the intermittent fasting idea, mainly for the metabolic benefits.
Cody, you’re dead on about the juices and sodas. Diet soda is particularly harmful. And a glass of orange juice is a sugar and calorie bomb. Get in the habit of drinking a liter of water first thing in the morning for immediate hydration and satiation.
