I decided that instead of toying with primal eating I would commit to it. So far I’ve learned a few things:

1. Due to the combination of a high-fat diet and ADHD meds that blunt my appetite, I’ve been having a hard time eating enough calories to equal my base metabolic rate (my excuse for not giving up peanut butter).

2. High carb intake can mask premenstrual irritability (should have seen that one coming).

3. Low carb intake = no lightheadedness, fatigue, and crakniness 2.5 hours post-meal (so nice!).

4. I CAN participate in religious fasts. Just go whole hog and don’t eat the one allowed meal.

Well I’m working on it; tomorrow will finish week one. It hasn’t been hard but not easy either and not perfect yet. FitDay is a big help but I’m still wondering if I worry about calories or just protein, fat and carbs. It is sometimes difficult for me to get all the protein and I find myself eating odd things…for me.

I think I also have to work on the variety of things as the only meat I eat is fish, shrimp, crab or lobster (well I would if it was around). I find myself eating eggs everyday too.

Not all of my primal cooking has worked out but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it.

Thanks for the interesting reads!
