Primal Blueprint Nutrition....3 weeks or so....

so...I haven't posted in a while...been busy trying to see how my body is adjusting to this Primal Blueprint Nutrition program I started about 3 weeks ago.  I am happy to report that I have lost 5 lbs without really changing my workouts...truthfully I have cut back on my intensity a little on the cardio...my weight lifting is still increasing.  :)

I can honestly say I had my doubts about this type of nutrition...I mean come on....doesn't our body NEED grains?  Well...the simple answer is NO...it doesn't!  I have been so well balanced with my energy throughout the day...no lulls in the afternoon...maybe boredom but not for a lack of energy.  :)  All of what I am about to share with you is straight from my personal experience....my main carb staple is probably my Shakeology which is not defined as Primal, but we are striving for 80/20 as much as possible...Perfection could be impossible for a beginner.  Plus I won't sacrifice my Shakeology....It is definitely a plus on my nutrition scale!

I am enjoying eating eggs and bacon every morning for breakfast...organic on both counts...uncured bacon without the god awful nitrates! :) Good stuff! 
My mid morning snack is usually my Shakeology with a scoop of Whey Protein....I will also have organic berries with cream drizzled over them sometime after breakfast and before Shakeology.  The Berries are a nice treat each day...love 'em!
Lunch is usually a lean protein source like chicken/turkey or fish (tuna or salmon) and a bunch of veggies...usually steamed or sometimes raw. 
Afternoon I will usually have a Protein Shake which I make with 1 Scoop Vanilla Whey, Almond Milk, Water and Almond Butter with a dash of cinnamon....very nice combo!  I will also add a piece of fruit like an apple to this line up as well.
Dinner usually consists of a good wholesome protein source like Chicken/Pork/Fish/Beef, etc....and lots of veggies...if I feel the need for more I will mix up a quick protein drink much like the one I have in the afternoon except I might leave out the almond butter.
And if I feel a hunger pang outside of all this yummy food I will eat a serving of almonds to alleviate that feeling.  It is truly amazing what 24 almonds can do for your appetite....calming and so good for you!
My overall calorie consumption is right around the 1800-1900 calorie mark most days.  Carbs ringing in around 100-140grams, Proteins are on avg about 150grams and fat is near 80grams.  So far this balance seems to suit me just fine.

I find ways to implement this program even when we are out at a fast food place...I won't hesitate to order a burger and toss the buns...have them hold the sauces too...those have sugars and HFCS so I really do avoid those at all costs.

So far I have not had mood swings or headaches like I did when I tried the Atkins diet many moons ago.  I am really enjoying this lifestyle choice and I think I can make it fit my lifestyle for a very long time.

Please share your thoughts and comments...I would love to hear what you think.
