Paleo 28 day challenge

This month I'm doing the 28 day Paleo challenge..

For the people who have never heard of Paleo, it's lifestyle change that consists of eating like the cavemen did - Meat, Fish, Fruit, Veg. It's a very strict diet and I found it hard when I attempted this back in October, I became really ill for and I believe it's down to eating paleo due to the lack of carbs my body is accustomed too.

It's not put me off as I love the concept of eating paleo, meat has to be grass fed, fish has to be wild, local fresh fruit & veg, eggs are to be free range. You can literally eat all day long and lose weight healthly...this can be nothing but good for you!? But in today's world the lack of potatoes, rice & pasta included in the lifestyle makes it hard to follow when being socialable.

So here's what I'm doing throughout Feb....

A 28 day paleo challenge but bending the rules a wee bit and making it easier for more people to change thier eating habits, I'm limiting my carb intake to potato's & spaghetti and only at dinner & tea times, the rest of the day I can eat as MUCH of the following as I want:-

Meat
Fish
Eggs
Fruit
Veg

At the end of the month I will be posting my review of the challenge, my weight loss and some simple meal ideas for you.
