Hey there,
So im very sorry I havent been keeping up with my posts lately, I’ve been sick for the last few weeks so expect quite a few posts all at once over the next while!
Being as ill as I have been over the last few weeks has really made me stop and look at my diet. I have chronic Asthma. Something I’ve suffered with since I was a tiny tot. 3 years old to be precise. As a result I have been taking inhalers daily for most of my life. Some stages have been more intense than others, stronger steroid inhalers, a nebulizer, all of that fun stuff haha. But anyway I developed an extremely bad chest infection which led to Pleurisy a few weeks ago. Being an asthmatic im so prone to chest infections so I wasnt one bit surprised when I developed yet another one. What did surprise me though was that the food I eat could have a massive effect on my asthma. After hours of research into the Paleolithic Diet I realised that it was definitely worth a go if it would benefit my lungs in any way.
So that’s where I am now. I’ve been eating nothing but suitable foods that go with this lifestyle, these include Meat,Fish,Poultry,Vegetables,Fruit and lots of water. I’m not eating any dairy,heavy/bad carbohydrates, grains or meats which don’t graze on grass. So far its going great and i feel so much healthier in myself. My breathing has been good so far. Id usually struggle to catch my breath even when I’ve taken my inhalers but I can’t say I’ve had that problem as of yet. YAY!
I don’t consume any potatoes, pasta, bread or rice. No dairy at all either, not even a dairymilk. I can hear you all crying out noooo…yes that part has been the toughest! Complete chocoholic that I am. Weeeeh. Anyway instead I’ve been eating sweet potatoes and lots and lots and lots of veg and protein.
Honestly I didn’t know food could taste so good. Everything is so much nicer, more flavour. Just class. I love it so much and I’m so glad I made the decision to convert when I did instead of ten years from now.
There are so many gorgeous recipes , tacos, nachos, chicken casseroles, chicken stir fry, salmon, fritters, then there’s sweet potato pancakes , buns, muffins you name it you can have it. Dont limit yourself to the boring side of life. Come on and join the Paleo lifestyle its amazing, healthy and fun. I definitely wont be going back .
Have you had any experience with the Paleolithic Lifestyle? Id love to hear from you.
