I bet you are asking what life is like after the Paleo Challenge...do you go back to putting more non-paleo choices back in the diet? Do you indulge once a week on that one thing you been craving for a month? Answer to that is yes and no...now that the Paloe Challenge is over I have only added beer, a little corn or rice back in the diet and these are considered "cheat" days. I am still keeping gluten out of my diet and limiting my dairy intake because it messes with my stomach so much. I try not to be 'super crazy' when I go out to dinner or to someone's home because I don't want to be rude or difficult. I basically see what they are cooking or where I am going to eat, and think to myself what are the better choices and what should I just say no. In the long run, I feel better about my choice and I have a tone of energy. What has been a really cool thing to witness is other people starting to dabble into Paleo...I have a friend at work who has been doing it now for almost two weeks and he has more energy then ever! Also, an athlete of mine has began to research and research more about Paleo and his wife and him have decided to slowly make the change to Paleo for themselves and their child who is autistic. This is so inspiring to be part of because they are seeing my results and my energy from making the switch to Paleo, that they want to make a change! Paleo isn't considered a challenge or diet...it has become part of my life.
