PRIMAL DIARY: Tara tootie page

[Tara tootie]

Jumping on the bandwagon...


I have decided to track what I eat and log it in here. More accountability you know! I will update in this blog post only and change the date so it stays current. I have been primal since January, but people need examples so here they are:


Day 1: June 1 2009

B: 4 egg whites, mushrooms, onions, cheddar cheese, 1/4 avocado, cooked in organic butter. Tea with stevia and cream.

S: Carrots and PB, natto

L: BAS (big ass salad): arugula, mustard greens, summer squash, radish sprouts, feta, red onion. Dressing made with dijon, evoo and vinegar. 1/2 oz 70% chocolate

S: Tomato with basil and evoo

D: 6oz sirloin, mushrooms, broccoli and 2 rolls (I know I know... they felt so gross in my tummy after haven't had bread in a LONG time. Blech,) and a bite of apple pie.


This is from my blog at:

Just egg whites? Why?? The egg yolk is the best part.

[Tara tootie]

I cant digest the yolks... MAJOR problems. Sometimes Ill sneak a little teeny bite of runny yolks... mmm.

I had quit eating eggs until I had an allergy test that reveled I am intolerant of lecithin which is very concentrated in the yolks. I now eat whites only with no problems.

[madMUHHH]

Oh, that's very unfortunate. I just thought for a second that you were onto the whole egg yolk/cholestol thing, but being a fellow PBer, of course you know better. ;-)

Tara, what are these MAJOR problems you speak of?

re: the rolls


I know how you feel. I had been practicing a Primal diet for about 3 months and then I decided to go to Red Lobster for lunch. They served up those damned freshly baked rolls as a starter. I had 2 :S. I felt like junk for the next 24 hours and I felt I had less control of my emotions.

madMUHHH-

Yes I DO know better! Im big into coco oil and butter, so I get my fats from other places.


thebkon-

re problems...its GI... lets just say Ill be locking myself in the bathroom for about 3-4 hours. Nuf said. Though when I was younger up until about 14-15 yrs I could eat the yolks just fine. Just not anymore. Also, I have a history of SEVERE (ie anaphylactic) food allergies in my family (corn, wheat, dairy) none of I am afflicted with, but I thought I should get on the right track now, you know? Yeah, I was cranky this morning too. Awesome.

Am I the only person that doesn't track the size of food I eat? I notice most people, can tell you how big their steak was. I'm not just wondering if I'm a slacker? I hate counting food and calories and the such.

[Tara tootie]

Haha... well it was easy to keep track of the size. How? I looked at the waitress and told her I will have the 6 oz sirloin, rare. Haha. But usually I estimate anyway.
