The Real One

So after comparing The Paleo diet to the The Paleo diet for athletes, there is a big difference. I can handle the one for athletes, and that might be just want I need to keep things balanced. The Paleo diet is just fruits, veggies, and lean protein. That is it. No grains or dairy at all. Yikes!!!! So I have a big goal ahead of me, and I need to find something I can stick to without it making me crazy. But right now I need to get in top shape so I will be following the regular paleo diet and after that the paleo diet for athletes to maintain.
Here is the real deal. I struggle just as much as the next person. So I'm setting up a time frame of 30 days of the paleo diet and that gives me one open meal per week(aka cheat meals, but I will keep them clean) NO junk period!!!!! Even getting in enough water I struggle with. So DAY 1
I woke up at 4:45am to do my workout for the day(P90X chest and back, followed by ab ripper)
5am-apple
160z water
6:30am- blueberry/banana/ice/water/protein powder shake(free meal)
9am-6 egg whites,1/4 red pepper, baby spinch
10:30 apple
12oz water
11:45 crab legs (yum my favorite)no butter yuck and not allowed :)
spaghetti squash/tomato basil sauce
12:30 another apple( just looking for something to grab not really hungry so I need to drink more
12 oz water
This is my weak part of the day so I need to keep myself busy which shouldn't be hard.
The rest of my day looks like this
2pm cauliflower (1 cup)
green tea
16 oz water
3:45pm 4oz of walnuts
work from 4-7pm(teaching exercise classes)
24 oz water
7:30 veal and asparagus
16oz water
Stay tuned I committing daily to this so if you want to follow along to see my results

Here are the seven keys of the Paleo Diet
1. Eat a relatively high amount of animal protein compared to that in the typical American diet.
2. Eat fewer carbohydrates than most modern diets recommend, but eat lots of good carbs-from fruits and vegetables, not from grains, starchy tubers, and refined sugars.
3. Eat a large amount of fiber from nonstarchy fruits and vegetables.
4. Eat a moderate amount of fat, with more good(monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) fats than bad(saturated)fats, and nearly equal amounts of omega 3 and omega 6 fats.
5. Eat foods with a high potassium content and a low sodium content.
6. Eat a diet with a net alkaline load.
7. Eat foods rich in plant phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
