Ok last week when I said I wouldn’t be disappointed if I didn’t lose fat in Christmas week it appeared I lied! It would have been fantastic if I’d lost or at least stayed the same but I have put on 0.4lbs. Ok it’s not exactly a disaster and overall over the last month I’m down 3.4 lbs which is not a lot really but usually at this time of year I’m easily putting on 7lbs or so.

December 27th, 2011 Caroline Middlebrook For me, Christnas was 2 days. I ate Paleo right up until the day. On Christmas Eve I had two social engagements with food & drink involved and somehow managed to stay completely Paleo. On Christmas & Boxing day a big help was that I had breakfast at home and made sure it was a large breakfast with a heavy dose of protein. So this helped avoid the desire to snack.
Week 3 (Skewed) Results – 1lb Down!
December 24th, 2011 Caroline Middlebrook I totally forgot that I was intending to weigh today before the Christmas indulgences so unfortunately by the time I remembered I’d already eaten a large breakfast, and drunk 2 cups of coffee and a pint of water – most of which is still rolling around in my tummy! The good news is that despite that, I’m still down by 1lb! I had actually weighed myself a day or two ago as my trousers were feeling loose and I was down by 1.6 lbs then so it’s been a good week!
Clarifying my Diet
December 22nd, 2011 Caroline Middlebrook When I first started to change my diet I was really unsure on what I was doing as I had started out following the Body Transformation plan that my neice was following (but that was based on also doing a ton of exercise) and then drifted towards Paleo but even within that there seemed like a lof of variation. So being a bit further along now and having read a lot more information I now have a very clear idea of what I am doing.
- Grains – avoiding completely. All bread, pasta, rice, noodles, anything made with flours from these grains. Corn unfortunately falls into the grain category
Week 2 – 1lb Back On! Oh Noes!
December 18th, 2011 Caroline Middlebrook Jumped on the scale this morning (a day early as I want to weigh Saturday next week as that will be Christmas Eve) and pretty disappointed to report a 1lb weight gain :-( Hip & waist measurements seem the same so what happened? No clue! My food has been more ‘paleo’ than the week before. Could I have eaten too much? Too many carbs? Eating too late at night? Not enough protein?
