For those of you following the Paleo Diet for the last 20 days or more I wanted to send out some words of encouragement and also, let you know what feedback I am receiving from others following the plan.
I recently read an article discussing what the two most important traits are for success. The two traits are willingness to take action (especially outside one’s comfort zone) and perseverance. The 30 day lockdown is a good example of where success is reliant upon these two traits. You don’t know how many times I have heard people say “I know what I need to do.” but they never take action or if they do they do not stick with it long enough to get results. So congratulations for sticking with it.
I have been getting some very positive feedback. People are saying they feel better, have more energy, and for those seeking to lose weight we have had some to lose as much as 12 pounds already. I have also been told by some who have had digestive issues that they are feeling less discomfort.
On a personal note I am feeling better, have more energy, and am also sleeping better. I also, recently had some blood work done and had some elevated levels of cholesterol. It was suggested I try medication (not gonna happen). Instead I am using the Paleo diet and some nutritional supplementation to lower the levels. I will keep you informed on how my experiment turns out. For those who feel like they are losing some strength or do not have energy you may want to try having a sweet potato or yam within 30 minutes after training. Hang in there and let me know how it’s going.
Thanks,
Billy
