Day 5 Paleo Challenge

Remember to send in your before picture to nolalde@crossfit1013.com and get your $10 in if you're participating in the challenge. 

So week number 1 is almost done. How are you feeling? Good? Bad? So so? Lethargic? Hungry? Tired? Cranky? All these are possible. How about less bloated? A sense of being thinner? Sleeping better? Any nagging aches going away? Remember the first 2 weeks are the hardest. Your body is getting used to not having all that processed, bad stuff in it. If you find yourself always hungry, take a look at your meals. Are you eating a good amount of protein? Maybe you think you are and are eyeballing it incorrectly. Maybe purchase a food scale and start measuring your protein to make sure you're getting 3-5oz of meat if you're a girl or 4-7oz of meat if you're a guy. Then make sure you're filling the rest of your plate with good nutrient dense vegetables. Make sure you're adding a descent amount of good fats to your meals as well. The fat and protein will make you feel satisfied. 
If you're not feeling hungry but just simply craving the breads and processed foods, hang in there, it will pass.Either way don't give up, don't cheat. Trust me the magic will happen later in the challenge.
