Changing the norm

Back to nutrition today – As most of you know I am following the Paleo eating plan as best as a I can.

I say, as best as I can as I have still been drinking milk which I know was not really around when prehistoric man was alive. I figure though as long as it is organic and not loaded with additives and sugars then it is fine by me.

Big changes for me have occured around what I eat at different times of day. Traditional breakfast has been turned on its head as I now have been trying fresh salads and nuts for brekkie. This is something that I also remember reading in ‘Born to Run’ and is something that the Turahumara people advocate.

Friends have looked at me as though I am weird, but in reality what I am doing is not disimilar to what they are doing. They eat their cornflakes or toast and vegemite and I have my salad – both have carbs and fibre, except that my carbs are slow burning. This helps me to stay wide awake through out the day.

Afternoon snacks – nuts or seeds with a glass of milk in place of choccie biscuits.

Another element that has not changed is Chia, Chia, Chia. Life changing stuff.

Give it a try and stay light all day and after all lighter goes faster and further.
