Lets talk Paleo!

When I found out I had Hashimoto's I started reading about cutting out gluten and sugars and grains. My natural doctor said I should do this. So, I started Paleo and for the first time in years I started to lose weight! I did start thyroid meds at the same time but I feel like it was a combo of the two. After a few months I had lost 20 lbs! I was over the moon excited! Like many others out there I had struggled to lose weight my whole life but mainly the last 10 years it was impossible! I ate a clean diet, counted calories, exercised and lifted weights! NOTHING helped!

The way I do Paleo is, No sugar, No Grains, No peanuts, no Legumes. I dont eat much fruit (because I am trying to lose weight) I don't eat much dairy. Some people don't eat any dairy but it is up to you and how you feel when you eat it.

I snack on a lot of nuts like almonds and cashews and berries for a snack. I try to eat organic, grass fed meat. Especially, when it comes to beef. I love to eat spaghetti Squash. If you have never made it I put together some pics.

Cut in half and scrape out guts. Coat insides with olive oil. Cover and put in oven 375 for an hour until soft and it can be pulled out with a fork. Enjoy with grass fed butter and salt or spaghetti sauce with meatballs.
