While on Paleo, I feel like I haven’t run into too many obstacles. The handful of time I have eaten out I have made adjustments to the meal to make it fit the Paleo guide. I even found a South African restaurant in SF that serves a full on Paleo meal, and it was veryyyy tasty!
The 1st/2nd week I have to say my energy was LOW. Like couldn't get off the couch low. I was worried, but I took to Google and found this is typical when your is moving from running off of sugar and carbs to burning fat for energy. With this bit of information I told myself ‘this shall pass’ and kept plugging through. Now that I’m onto my 3rd week my energy level is great, better than ever!
Another obstacle was running out of food while at work. This was due to, of course, poor planning on my part. But I learned from those times, and now often pack more than I need and keep snack at my desk. I have also tried to add wayyy more veggies to my lunch, which keeps me full and satiated longer.
