Bulletproof Day 1

Well, it's Monday again, not my favorite day of the week, but I'm determined to make the best of it. Today is dia numero uno of my latest dietary experiment, and I gotta say, this one is pretty enjoyable thus far. Yes, I realize I've only made it through the first hour/meal, but its off to a good start. I just partook in a lovely cup of bulletproof coffee, and it was delightful. It was pretty similar to the coffee Chad and I have been drinking because I usually use full fat coconut milk as creamer, however the slight buttery taste from the Kerry Gold was a great addition. I also had turkey bacon, kale, 2 scrambled eggs, and avocado. Though I LOVE my breakfast cake recipe, I'm trying to get away from using the microwave as much as possible. I want to focus on lightly cooking or eating more raw.  Its been really interesting to see how my appetite and preferences have shifted since starting paleo. I definitely don't have the sweet tooth that once ruled my life, and I'm doing better with eating savory foods for breakfast.

 Later on...

Lunch was balsamic brussels with walnuts, and I ended up drinking a protein shake around 2:30pm. Definitely regretted not bringing a more substantial lunch, since I was pretty hungry as I headed to Crossfit. I grabbed a handful of walnuts on my way, so that certainly helped.

By the time I got home  I was REALLY hungry. I threw some chicken thighs and veggies on the grill and whipped up an "Asian" sauce to go along. Viola!

So after dinner... Chad wanted some more coffee, and I could not resist. Probably didn't need another serving of BPC but it was highly satisfying, and a nice ending to the evening.

I think Day 1 was pretty successful... The coffee was awesome, and I definitely wasn't hungry mid-morning, like usual. I did still experience my 3pm crash, but I didn't expect that to resolve immediately. I'm hoping over the course of this week, it will. I'm happy that I maintained a pretty low carb day, and after having had a banana nearly everyday since January, I fared pretty well without one. Anyway, time to get some sleep and prepare for Day 2!
