Food & Friends

Is this a placebo "feeling good" or a real "feeling good"?

I slept well last night, and again, only needed 2 migraine pills to put the throbbing ever-persistent headache to rest. Yes, I would love it if these headaches would simply go away, but progress is progress and I'm happy with small steps if they eventually add up to a great leap.

Keeping in line with my "not jumping headfirst" into this new diet, I ate a nice breakfast of oatmeal, an organic banana and a half glass of organic soy milk this morning. I'll finish that salmon and cucumber for a late lunch, and then have an apple for a late afternoon snack.

Social gatherings are already presenting a problem. Tonight a handful of friends and myself are having a "making your own dumplings" party. A good friend of mine is a fantastic cook, and for Thanksgiving we made our own ground chicken dumplings. Tonight, to celebrate my successful completion of the most bizarre semester ever (I may have missed more classes than I attended), we are having a party.

This is perfectly fine right now; I'm not a true blue total paleo yet. I'll have a paleo friendly lunch and snack, and then I'll eat a healthy dinner. No problem. But as the weeks go by and I transition into more of a complete paleo diet, I'll need to seriously consider how many of these gatherings I can really participate in. I'll need to think about packing my own individual dinners and simply participating in the social part of these gatherings.

Nobody ever said that this was going to be a simple transition.

The good news is I just got my raw organic honey in the mail!

  1. I'm imagining very pleasant smells coming out of your kitchen right now and wishing I could taste some of it. Much of what you're doing makes a lot of sense, but I have a question. What is the problem with green(the small amt of caffeine?), white or rooibos tea?
