Age (If you want): 28
How Primal are you: Want to be.
Do you consume dairy: Yes.

Motivator for switching to Primal: First heard about it when rumour had it Kate Middleton was doing something similar before her wedding. Tried it, and was successful for a short time. But then my husband, son and I moved back to my parents while he attended post-secondary college. Mom is the one who usually cooks, so because I didn't want to be an inconvinence, we stuck with her and her "conventional" meals. Can't complain...or maybe I can...
Favorite exercise: Walking.
Favorite Primal food: Big-ass salad.
Best part about being Primal: Before I went Primal, I had a strange relationship with food. I would get WAY too excited to eat. While I was Primal, my view on food changed, and I saw it for what it was supposed to be...something for survival.
Worst part about being Primal: "Parents just don't understand..." -Will Smith.
