Today I'm starting protein and veggies only, I do better with out dairy except for cream in my coffee. Also have a problem with nuts and portion control, will miss peanut butter but will add it back later. I may do some beans if I feel like I'm not getting enough calories. Protein shakes with unsweetened cocoa, whey or hemp protein, and veggies are o.k. Fruit has too much sugar, even though its natural some fruits have a lot of fructose. Will add berries in later.

So here's an update. Last year we had a similar challenge in March I think. It was a little more loose than this on but basically no grains, on potatoes (except sweet pots) and no sugar. I followed it at about 75%. I would splurge on the weekends. Still had to go buy new dress pants and jeans.
Well just 13 days into this challenge I need to go buy new pants and jeans again. I will caution you if you ever take this one on you WILL go through sugar and carb withdrawals. That hit me hard last week. I'm about over it now but the last 3 days SUCKED!.
Another great benefit of this challenge is learning many different ways to cool / prepare meals. Happy New Year y'all!

Give it a shot. At least the meals you eat are usually amazing and filling.

Hey River Otter, you've been sooooo good on your challenge so far, shouldn't you reward yourself with a trip to your favorite place for some good Paleo cooking?

Would LOVE to but: 1. My condo is occupied by our faithful snowbird and 2. I have a company retreat that day :angry:
:scratch: Wonder how many meatzas show up?

The meatza turned out great! Thanks for the video! I did learn a couple of things:
1. Use 95% lean meat. I wasn't paying attention and used 80 / 20. It shrunk, lol!
2. Use a thicker pizza sauce. I just used Whole Foods Pasta sauce and it was a little runny.
