Primal Experimentation, Attempt #2

So a while ago, I attempted to try out a paleolithic diet -- no grains, legumes, sugar, or dairy -- and found myself dreaming about cheese and breakthrough bleeding. Well, since then, I've gone off birth control (part of me suspected that the diet altered how I was absorbing my medication), and let my hormones stabilize a little. So I've decided to give it another go.

A major motivator was the fact that my lunch last week of lentil enchiladas with sprouted corn tortillas, raw cheese, and avocado (by many accounts, a healthy, nutrient-dense lunch) just wasn't filling me up. I felt bloated and still ravenous. So I'm going back to a diet that focuses on meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables, with nuts, seeds, and fruit as supplementation. For now, I'm keeping dairy, but I'm considering giving up dairy next week. In two weeks, I have a conference in another city, so I'll get to attempt to keep primal on the road, but for now, I'm trying to focus on the good stuff, and not beat myself up about other things.
