Laying on the couch, feeling sick to my stomach, because I consumed too much grains and sugar this weekend.
Dairy doesn't bother me at all. But grains and sugar? The way I feel now is enough to keep me Paleo/Primal for the rest of my life.
Lesson learned, my friends. I changed my diet and lifestyle and trying to go back to how I was before just isn't worth it. My system can't handle it.
I must consider my cheats more carefully.
And let me just compare, for a moment here.
A couple weeks ago we went out to dinner with friends. I ate a ton of food. I left the restaurant feeling stuffed. I ate: some goat cheese; a salad with bacon, tomatoes, blue cheese, and blue cheese dressing; a steak with a red wine sauce and some boursin-mashed potatoes; and half of a slice of a flourless chocolate torte. No grains, but a minimal amount of sugar, were consumed.
Did I feel sick to my stomach after all that food? No. Did I wake up the next morning not wanting to eat? No.
Yesterday, I ate: a cheeseburger and some ice cream. I was full for THE REST of the day. I didn't want dinner.
Today, I ate: a buffalo chicken wrap and some caramel cake. I'm stuffed. And I'm sick. I don't even want to think about food, except that I'm craving something green and fresh. Like I want a plate full of broccoli and a salad and a huge glass of water right now.
What's the difference between the first meal and the second and third meal? Grains.
I'm really starting to get it now...
