Well, some people that know me would tell you that this announcement is late by a couple of decades. The fact is, I am starting the Paleo Diet today. As near as I can tell, the Paleo Diet is one where you can eat as much as you want of anything that walks, crawls, flies, or grows on trees and bushes. I'm good with that. I'll have to eliminate processed foods and grains of any type from my diet. Ummm...okay, I can do that. I'll miss pizza, but sacrifices must be made. The only hitch in this process is the elimination of coffee.
Please, not coffee. I have been drinking the Blessed Bean Broth since I was 10 years old. It gets me started in the morning and provides a pleasant way to spend a break at work. Plus, the occasional froo-froo coffee at one of our local coffee houses is a treat. I'm going to have to ponder that one long and hard.
I'm also going to have to eliminate salt. So, basically, it sounds like I'm going to be eating a bunch of bland food. If anyone out there has any Paleo recipes that they like, please feel free to send them my way.
Everywhere I have read says coffee is fine, just no "coffeemate" in it! Also there is Paleo pizza made with an almond-meal crust that is yummy(ish) I'll bring a cookbook to the gym you can take home a try some stuff with.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people that are Paleo and still drink coffee!
