Can mayo change your life...

Day 4 here in Paleo world. I know it sounds freaking ridiculous but I am feeling so great, energetic, well fed and satiated that I don't know what to do with myself! And they call this a diet! I've been eating Paleo for about 1 week now (but on the record since Monday) and then for days at a time prior to that. It's really really true, all that stuff that you read about the people living the Paleo lifestyle. They talk about feeling great, having mental clarity, energy.  Admittedly, when I read and saw the testimonials of the people who eat this way and crossfit I would think to myself  "That's genetics, she has good genes!" She must be like that naturally!" Maybe I am starting to feel changes and see some too. Even if I am seeing changes because I want to believe they are there, it's motivating!  I have noticed for the second day in a row that I don't feel that hungry. I eat, feel satisfied and then stop eating. In the past I would have to finish what was on the plate because there are children starving in North Korea and it's not good to be wasteful.

Here is what I ate:
coffee with a tiny bit of heavy cream and 2 tsp honey
1 green apple/handful almonds and a 5 macadamias
chicken salad wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves. (I'm tooting my own horn here...best chicken salad I"ve ever had - made my own Paleo Ghee mayo and used it. The ghee mayo pushed it over the top! YUM!  Recipe for ghee mayo here:  marksdailyapple.com/homemade-ghee-mayo/)
A few raspberries

Here's what I did:
Nothing! I went to work.
