Day 20 Of The Paleolithic Diet

And Day 2 of my Fast.

I would say that titling these posts in my blog as Paleo Diet makes sense, because the people who ate the Paleo Diet during that era didn't eat every day. They couldn't many times because food just wasn't available like it is in the modern day world that we live in. The matrix we live in has us thinking that stuffing our faces several times a day is necessary. But it isn't. The human body really is designed to fast.

I'm pretty amazed that I'm doing this. I woke up today, almost with a sensation of suspended animation. Like I couldn't believe that I hadn't eaten. It was pretty cool. I have been drinking coffee during this thing....not very Paleo of me because there were no coffee makers or Dunkin Donuts during the Paleolithic era. But I will point out that yesterday morning I weighed in at around 216, and this morning I weighed in at 211. That's a pretty heavy drop in weight over a day. It would appear to me that my body has begun its feast on my fast tissue and begun digging for toxins.

I felt somewhat clear all day, although just the slightest bit sick/dizzy. Although this is typical of the detox process, the caffeine probably plays a role in that.

I'm also having some cravings for cheesy, sodium rich foods. Pizza, cheese steak, etc. But I stayed on track all day and drank a gallon plus of distilled water.

As far as sleeping, I'm doing that a lot. I went to bed around 9:30 last night, and I slept pretty solid with the exception of having to get up to take a leak at some point, until about 7:30. My body really seemed to appreciate it too.

Day 2 of my fast was a success.
