Real Food Challenge Day 38
We have been focusing so hard on the solids, but what about the liquids? The body is made up of 60-70% water, are you drinking enough?

Cravings? Many times when switching over from a traditional American diet you may find yourself craving the “normal” foods you once consumed. Now that you have been eating clean for 36 days, those cravings should have subsided. If they have not, you may find the link below interesting and worth trying. Now it does say legumes in there but you know how we feel about those.

Thank you for all the feedback we received yesterday. Let’s keep the discussion going.
Here’s a blog I just found that has gluten free weekly menus and recipes…
Holy crap, it’s been a month already… I loved reading all the comments about your thoughts so far.
A couple of items to note:
- If you feel hungry all the time, consider eating more or eating more often or eating more fat/protein.
- If you feel like you’re not making the strength gains you should, consider whether your body-weight has an impact on this and whether you can tweak things to avoid this problem; more protein, more fat, timing your meals, etc.
- If you feel like you’re always preparing food, notice how some people put this as a pro ‘I’m rediscovering the kitchen and cooking”, while others listed it as a con. Maybe you can shift your paradigm.
- If you feel like you’re always trying to explain this lifestyle, check out this email template for friends and family from Pay Now Live Later.
Halfway through the challenge…
Let’s start thinking about dinner. Here’s a “breaded” chicken and cauliflower curry recipe from PaleoBrands.com to get you started.
Please post dinner and comment on the best and worst of the challenge so far. i.e. Best: I can see my abs. Worst: Ordering a piece of chocolate pecan pie and letting it sit there in front of me for an hour without eating it. Yes, you know who you are…
