kimboo_yorkI'm thrilled to find this comm! \o/
I was informed I am gluten "intolerant" by my nutritionist back in September. I do cleansing fasts regularly (twice a year) so I went on a five day juice fast to clear everything out of my system and was going to go wheat free after that. In the meantime, though, I discovered the paleo/primal lifestyle paradigm and decided to try that instead of re-creating my prior diet with gluten-free processed food.
The changes in my health were astounding - I never realized just how much my problems were linked to my food. I wrote about my experiences in my blogpost My Primal Lifestyle which discusses how going paleo/primal improved my sleep, my energy levels, my skin, and...well, everything!
I'm still overweight and unfit due to several years of self-destructive behavior, but I'm finally seeing changes in how I feel and look. Living this way is easy for me because I don't ever want to feel as terrible as I used to every day.
My biggest hurdle now is incorporating more body movement; I'm a grad school student and my main "job" is writing, so I spend most of my day sitting down. I've picked up yoga again, and I started jogging, but I need to remember to stand up out of the damn chair more often throughout the day! argh!
Personal goals include becoming very physically fit because I want to go hiking and skiing again, and learn to surf (life long dream) and tap dance. There is so much I want to DO, and I know that living paleo/primal is the only its going to happen. I really do feel great.
Look forward to hearing more from people here! ♥
