withdrawals.

this stupid paleo diet is no joke.  i am going through some serious withdrawals. carbs, sugars, dairy... you name it, i am missing it BIG TIME.  i suffered through a major lack-of-sugar-induced headache all day yesterday [hence no blog post], and although i do feel much better this morning i am worried for what is ahead of me today. 

see, my pre-paleo diet consisted of pasta, potatoes and cheeses, and little to no meat.  i have never been a big meat eater - i have never been a true vegetarian, since i eat a lot of fish - so i didn't really eat that badly.  my favorite meals were things like sauteed vegetables over cous cous, pasta salad, bruschetta, my mom's tomato bread, my grandmother's spaghetti recipe - things that weren't awful for you, but things that contain all the food i can no longer eat as a paleo. 

so, i think i can make it work... if i add some sweets. i found a recipe for dark chocolate paleo brownies from easy peasy, and even though i'm not much of a baker, i just have to try it.

i have to do something to ward of the shakes and night sweats :)
