Saw an item on The Daily Show last week that made me determined to get back to Paleo. So I’ve been trying it this week. And gradually, slowly, bit by bit, I am getting there.

On Monday I cooked six sausages for myself, the idea being I’d have a couple for breakfast and then the rest during the week. The smell that hit my nostrils didn’t have the effect it used to. These were good-quality sausages, a premium range. But the smell made me feel nauseous and I only managed to eat half of one… 🙁 However I refused to throw them away.

It’s fine to gain a few pounds over Christmas – I put on five which I was quite pleased by as it didn’t seem too extreme. But it wouldn’t budge after. Now I think it might well have done and hopefully taken a few fat friends with it. I won’t weigh in just yet though… Read More→
