Going Primal

I started researching healthy things to eat to help grow healthier, thicker hair and stumbled across the Paleo Diet blog called Free the Animal. 


One holiday and three weeks later, I was back in town at a friend's BBQ and talking about how she and a couple other friends were going primal using Mark's Daily Apple blog. Living like the first humans would have - hunter-gather style. 

Seeing that I'd been researching a lot of different lifestyle changes for diet, including Ayurvedic diets (I'm Pitta Dosha), the primal lifestyle seemed like a good way to combine all of things I've been reading.

So, today I went to the shops and bought a lot of primal approved food for the week. I don't know what I'm going to create yet. There are a lot of recipes and I'm not great in the kitchen, so there's going to have to be a lot of research.

But, this is what I purchased for my first primal shop...

Veggies / Fruit

• Spinach
• Parsley
• Eshallots
• Organic Carrots
• Cherries
• White Onion
• Avacado
• Eggplant
• Portabello mushrooms
• Diced Tomatoes (canned)
• Garlic
• Raspberries
• Blueberries
• Strawberries

Meats

• Organic Eggs
• Organic Chicken Breast
• Organic Chicken Drumsticks
• Organic Beef Sausages
• Lamb Roast

Other

• Coconut Milk (canned)
• Tapioca Flour

As part of this change, I want to also head back to the naturopath and monitor my blood as I did in previous posts to see how the diet is affecting it.
