Why Paleo?

So I'd love to be able to say that I eat healthy all the time, but that just isn't the case. I think that every once in a while you should indulge in the things we all love! ie: fast food, dessert and perhaps some nachos and margaritas. I have a friend that eats healthy 6 days out of the week, and on Sundays, she buys herself a Taco Bell meal or something horrendously amazingly greasy. I agree with this! I know that the longer I go without unhealthy food, the more I want it. So I suggest eating Paleo 80%-90% of the time, and go buy yourself a cheese burger on Sunday!

Now to answer the question, "Why Paleo?" Below is an article I found from thepaleodiet.com. It briefly talks about the benefits of eating whole foods, and low grains. No, I don't agree with calling this "low-carb." That sounds so lame doesn't it? Basically I try to cook from scratch with everything. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE EATING. I suggest checking everything you are buying for sodium and sugar levels. Even "fat free" salad dressings have high fructose corn syrups! Crazy right?! So try to stick with foods that are green and brown. Easy enough. I know that when I started eating this way, my stomach never felt too full or that weird "yucky" feeling after eating too much. it was pretty sweet.

Here's the article:
