Since mid-February.....I started eating according to the Paleo lifestyle. I turned 50 in Feb. and gotta tell ya, I have as much, if not more, energy as I did when I was 20! Not to mention, I've lost some belly fat, face is thinner, BP goes alot faster
I began by cutting out bread, rice, pasta, chips, grains, white potatoes, beans, etc. But, there's a wealth of info/recipes on the internet. If you have a fav recipe/food, just google paleo followed by your fav food/recipe. If you're on facebbook, look for the page 'Just Eat Real Food'. I bought a book, and below is a list of most foods allowed on Paleo. Snacks Throughout the day, ou should snack as frequently as possible -- at least ever 2-3 hours. Focus focus on a mix of both protein and carbs for each snack. Protein will help keep you from getting hungry and carbs will help avoid fatigue. Eating frequently speeds up metabolism.

Yet as I read on low-carb diet/lifestyle I'm confused as all hell as what to not eat, like the majority of my food such as whole wheat bread, instant maple-brown sugar oatmeal, raspberry yogurt, apple sauce, graham-crackers, etc.. WHAT CAN I EAT? I'm beginning to understand why I've gained weight over the years & I can't even look at my stomach in the mirror! I need detailed advice from others w/this problem please. I'm a c-4-5-6 [c-4(left) c-5-6 (right)] since 1986 Patricia L. Brown-Tulee [email protected] while adding years to your life, add life to your years
