Paleolithic Diet

My newest venture is the Paleolithic Diet.
It is basically eating meat fruits and vegetables and that is it. No grains and no sugar.  It is pretty tough to do living in this society.  Everything has four or high fructose corn syrup in it.  It is frustrating to go shopping.  You just have to make peace with making things from scratch.   The one thing I am struggling with is bread.  I have been buying sprouted bread to make the transition.  It is working pretty well.  My kids don't mind it either.  One thing I have noticed for sure is that I feel GREAT!  I feel light and no more food crashing.  You know,  the late afternoon wall that tells you you need sugar.  No more for me.  I do miss the full feeling that you get from comfort foods but I always feel bad when I eat them.
