I started Primal on 6/6/10 and I like you am 5'6". My starting weight was 90kg and I am now down to 66kg and a size 6/8! Your success story was an inspiration to me and I too did extensive research on MDA and several other primal/paleo blogs. This is such a great way to eat, and I've never felt like I was missing out on anything. It saved me :-)...I also suffered from anxiety/depression after having my 4th baby. I am a mom of 4 and started every pregnancy at around 91kg and would balloon to about 108kg by the pregnancy's end. This was the way it was for a very long time, until going primal in June. My ultimate goal is about 63kg and I'm almost there just 8 months later!I love reading your blog and just wanted to check in and let you know that there are many of us out there doing the same things, eating the same wonderful foods, and getting leaner, healthier and more vibrant by the day! Thanks for sharing your story and keep it up, I will continue to follow your success...GROK ON!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Lisette, thanks for swinging by! That is soo very awesome, what fantastic success you have had, I bet you are feeling a million bucks!! I love hearing stories like this and it’s so motivating also. Your blog looks great apart from none of the pictures would load for me... Grok on!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI just saw your results on Marks daily apple and clicked over to your blog. WONDERFUL!! you are an inspiration. I am going to show my hubby your pics-as he's very discouraged after working out faithfully and eating a high carb vegetarian diet he's gained weight! He keeps repeating that it HAS to be his diet(of course!)
So I told him give your diet to me for 30 days and I will feed you according to the Primal plan and you WILL get results.
He's eating meat that he hasn't tasted in 6 years, and I know this will work for him.
Last night I fixed him bacon wrapped pork chops and side of asparagus in butter and he was thrilled.
Breakfast was eggs over easy and chicken sausage.(no nitrites)
Here's my sorta personal question-I take a med for reflux for the past 5 years.
Did the Primal eating help your reflux at all?(i know that cooked tomato sauce is one of my *bad* foods-but I can eat raw tomato)
I am hoping to cut the med or even get free of it completely.
thanks and you are a gorgeous person.
Teresa
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do feel amazing :-), better than I ever have. I'm thankful everyday for finding MDA and blogs like yours, which helped me get to where I am today. The primal community is a very supportive and inspiring one! In regards to my blog, I can't imagine why the photos didn't load up? Everything seems to be working well on my end, maybe it was a temporary glitch. I decided to blog as a way to journal my success and share it with friends and family. It's very therapeutic when I find the time to work on it ;-). Anyhow, thank you for taking a look and best of luck on reaching your goal!
Lisette
Hi Teresa, Thank you so so much! I hope your husband is enjoying Primal so far, he’s lucky your cooking him that food sounds yummy and men get results pretty fast too so he’ll do well. As for reflux I haven’t ever taken meds for it because it’s never been bad enough, it’s something I will get if I eat too much food or too many rich foods together, like if I have fatty pork for dinner and then super dark chocolate afterwards I’m guaranteed to get reflux quite bad but having them separate is not a problem! Sorry I’m not much help on that front but many people get relief from reflux after going primal so hopefully that happens for you :)
