I was supposed to train today, but I felt so tired after a long work day yesterday, that I ended up sleeping instead. :P Today I also felt the first sympthoms of sugar graving. It seems that my body has conditioned to get sweets on Saturday... But I stayed strong!

Day 3: Too tired to play badminton...
I took my readers advices and decided to give my body some time to adjust to low-carb diet. So, I'm not adding carbs just yet. :)
Otherwise I feel really well all the time, but during training my body just lacks energy. I even lost to my husband in badminton because I could't move fast enough and started feeling too tired during the game! And usually I do really well :(
Food and training diary:
Breakfast at 7.30
One boiled egg
3 slices of bacon
Some salad, spinach, tomato, cucumber and seads
Piece of honey melon
A cup of green tee
I definitely could get used to these kind of breakfasts! Love it!!
Lunch at 12.00
Chicken soup (st school)
Didn't really include enough chicken though :/ and I didn't eat the popatos and soy beans which were included...
Lots of salad and grated carrot
A banana
Workout at 15.00 (the idea was mostly to just have fun... not to really train)
60 min of badminton
A snack at 16.30
60 g of different nuts
100 g of blueberries
100 g of lingonberries
Coconut milk
I really did my best trying to finnish the bowl of berries and coconut milk, but I just haven't quite gotten used to the taste of coconut yeat and the lingonberries were really sour :D so I didn't quite succeed...
Dinner at 18.30
150 g of pork
Some carrot slices
Lost of salad with seads

Day 2: First troubles...
Today it actually hit me that I need to be without some of my favourite foods for 12 weeks! What have I promised to do? :D
I also felt myself really tired and hungry during my muscle training... I realized that I need some more carbs to train, so I will be adding those to my diet - in the form of root vegetables, white rice and some sport nutritions. I also decided that I will allow myself to eat some more fruits.
Despite my second thoughts, here is my food diary with some training info.

Got frustrated...

I have to say that meat tastes relly good after several months of vegetarism! ;) I'm amazed, how satured I felt especially after breakfast. I didn't need to eat in almost 6 hours!! Normally I have needed to eat every third hour... So far I'm feeling good.

1 huge onion
800 g of salmon

What is this blog for?
I decided to make a blog for my little experiment with paleo diet. My
first idea was to write in Finnish but for some reason it appeared to be
easier to do it in English. So here I am writing in English about my paleo experiment... The purpose of the blog is that I will openly and honestly tell, how this dietary expriment affects me and my life. Furthermore I'm going to have a sort of food diary in here.
The reason why I first wanted to try paleo diet and write this blog about it, was that I had really gotten fed up with the current food discussion and the contradictory facts considered with it. Some professionals believe in diets, that include a lot of carbs while others recommend low-carb ones. Some even say that grain products might be dangerous for us and cause, what we now call, living standard diseases. I decided that I would no longer let my dietary habbits lay on belief, but that I would really try if a different kind of diet would make me feel and perform better.
Until now I have trusted on the official nutrition recommendations, that we have in Finland. Furthermore I have been on a vegetarian diet for about five months. Basically that means that I have eaten f.ex. a lot of vegetables, root vegetables, fruits, grain products, milk products, soy products, nuts and seads. I have tended to avoid animal fats and use a lot of vegetable oils. I have also used some sport nutrition products as addition to my diet. Candies and other sugary products I have tryed to eat reasonably, but I have to admit that sometimes my craving for sugar has taken over me.
So, what I'm trying to tell here is that my diet is going to change dramatically for the next 12 weeks. I'm going to avoid all sugar and grain products. Practically this means, no sugary treats, bread, porridge or pasta in 12 weeks! Furthermore I have to start eating meat again. (This is an ethical problem for me... I do love the taste of it though...) In a nutshell, my dieat is going to consist of vegetables, root vegetables, meat, fish, chicken, fats, nuts, sieds and berries. I'm also going to allow resionable amounts of fruits, full fat milk products and white rice.
And since you might be wondering, who is this crazy person behind this blog, I could tell a little bit about my self too... I'm a 22 year old woman from southern Finland. Currently I study Hospitality Management in the Laurea University of Applied Sciences and work in a Kart'in Club as a club hostess. I live in a student flat with my husband, three cats and a dog. My number one hobby is triathlon and my goal for the summer 2013 is to accomplish a half distance triathlon (1,9/90/21) in Finntriathlon competition in June. (So with that in mind, I will probably be telling some things about my training too in this blog.) A few months ago I got to know that I might be suffering from hypothyroidims (kilpirauhasen vajaatoiminta). The desease hasn't fully developed yet, so I hope that it would be possible for me to heal without medical treatment. (Yes, my doctor told me that it is impossible, but I want to try anyway.) That is also one reason, why I started this experiment.
So, if you are interested in nutrition, alternative hypothyroidism treatment, paleo diet or sports, this might be an interesting blog for you to follow. :)
