Welcome to my blog about learning to eat a Paleo diet! My (new) doctor recommended the Paleo diet to better manage an autoimmune disease (thyroid) I've
been struggling with for a few years. He
gave me very simple instructions:
No grains No dairy No legumes No
processed food
That means no pizza, no bread, no bagels and cream cheese,
no bean and cheese burritos, no lasagna…Whaaaat?
Here is what I can eat:
Protein Lots of veggies
I’m ok with that.
There is good reason to make this change, not only immediate
relief to my health symptoms but improved overall health and potential weight
loss! Here is a good video that explains
the Paleo diet and benefits.
Its really a stretch to think I can never have my favorite
pizza from Alibi Restaurant, or my other favorite pizza from Tivoli’s Brick
Oven or my favorite home delivered pizza from Sorrento’s…ever.
I.Love.Pizza
And so does my family: My husband, an Italian American who
loves good Italian food, all food for that matter. My teenage son, who can clean out the refrigerator
quicker than I can say, “I just went grocery shopping”; my lovely daughter, a
competitive dancer who knows exactly what she does not like to eat or at least
she thinks she knows!
I think the biggest challenges will be all the extra cooking (I’m not a fan) and getting my family on board.
Have you ever gone on a diet? Have you ever tried to change
your family’s diet?
