For those that know me, I already follow gluten free guidelines. So, my grain intake was lower- but I had at least 3 servings of grains per day -one oatmeal, and the other two from corn and rice. So, the ZERO grain part wasn't a huge leap for me to try. Yet, remember I would have those IN ADDITION TO plenty of fruit.
Over the past few days, exercise has been extra tough as one serving of fruit, no grains and only other carbs from veggies was just not enough for my exercise habits. So, for me, I am going to have at LEAST 2 servings of fruit per day. I already feel better after having watermelon for dessert tonight! As I said, I'm a bit of a skeptic and watermelon seems to be 'debatable' for paleo, but--it is what will work for me right now! You have to listen to your body! Maybe we'll call it personalized paleo....
Anyways, look at all the yummy food I bought today- I have never made anything with Jicama- but have seen it in salads, also bought kohlrabi at Farmer's market (previously mentioned)--any ideas for either of these would be great!
