Since then I have discovered a LOT of recipes online that sound delicious. I've tried foods I've never tried before. I've made homemade protein bars that taste almost like cookies (and that Jon eats like cookies). I've realized that I don't actually miss grains at all - they really only added texture and filler not flavour to foods. I've made pizza, and I've made meatza.
The one thing I haven't followed strictly is the dairy restriction common to paleo eating (primal isn't as restrictive - it even includes red wine and chocolate!). Now, I don't drink milk. But I LOVE cheese. And yogurt's pretty good too I guess.
A while back, after having cut out grains, I realized that when I ate them, I felt tired and sluggish over the next half to full day. Now I'm realizing the same thing about dairy. A little bit of fermented dairy seems to be ok, but if I have a lot of cheese, or something with cream in it, I feel very slow and tired. I think I'm going to be cutting out liquid forms of dairy from now on - I had strawberries in cream last night and I was sooo tired today, even though I got plenty of sleep.
Of course, that's not going to stop me from enjoying the last of them tonight ;) At least I'll know why if I'm tired tomorrow.
