The Challange

I have been following a few Paleo blogs and trying to be 'mostly' paleo, but not having a lot of success (mostly at work, but really I could fail at anytime). One of my favorite blogs has been Mark's Daily Apple. Mark has a Paleo down to much more than a Diet it is an entire lifestyle. Well I have decided to stop going at this half(quarter?) heartily and give myself a Challenge. It is Quite Simple:

Eat No Grains In June.


30 days grain free is the goal, secondary goals are:
  1. Eat Less Dairy. I don't eat much now, but I will cut out the occasional glass of milk and reduce the amount of cheese.
  2. Avoid Legumes.
  3. No (or virtually no) caffeine. Over the last few months I have severely limited my caffeine intake. Yet I still had the occasional Caffeinated Coffee (weekends now usually) and Decaf Coffee/tea. The Former I will eliminate, but will probably still have some decaf tea.
  4. Exercise More. Use Mark Sisson's Exercise Routine Sign Up here to get it for free
  5. Log my process on this blog. How am I feeling, did it relieve any Lyme symptoms? etc.  
Where will this be the most difficult?
  • Breakfast. I often eat a bowl of oatmeal (from fermented oats) and that will have to stop. Other dangers for me is the weekly (or biweekly) bagel or Scone. These will have to be substituted with eggs and or Banana's or other fruit.
  • Lunch. When there is nothing available to take from home, I too often find some fast food joint.
  • Dinner. Generally my strongest Paleo meal today, however sometimes my better half is too busy and we end up getting Pizza.
  • Snacks. My work often has popcorn popped for free. I used to love this now oh how I loath Corn
