What’s important to keep in mind when starting Primal?
1) Do NOT look at it as a diet that is temporary. In order to make any lasting changes to your body, whether for weight-loss purposes or gaining strength, you need to look at the diet as a way of life. Which means you need to have built-in cheat days, cheat meals and ‘in case of x-y-z’. If you approach it as a diet, you will balloon back the moment you get off of it.
2) You WILL fall off the wagon. Changing your eating habits is super hard, esp. if your diet thus far has been shit. You need to remember to forgive yourself for those two slices of pizza on a Friday night or that beer at a holiday party. It’s more important to get back on immediately. We all fail. The difference is if you get back to it again or not.
3) PREP IS KEY. If you don’t have food handy, you WILL relapse to bad eating habits. If you cook food/have veggies handy/stock up, it’s less likely that you’ll fall of the wagon. Also, almonds as snack food are GREAT.
4) Make sure you empty your house of food that will tempt you. You can’t eat a bag of chips that you don’t have ;)
