How do you stay (somewhat) healthy?
chipsy: Paleo diet. Cleared up my skin, ended headaches and tiredness, decreased my caloric intake and body fat without any overt discipline, lowered my blood pressure, and increased my strength and stamina.Downside: No grains, beans, dairy; that means no coffee, no chocolate, no soy, no cheese, no bread or noodles or pastries. (Plus sides: bacon, sausages, eggs, figs, dates, walnuts.)I gradually fell into this diet by carefully noting which foods made me feel bad ~15-30 mins after. I did this over a process of many months starting sometime in February. Finally, just a few days ago, I concluded that I was basically drifting into Paleo of my own accord, and for me to be at my best I had to go from reduced intake of the banned foods to complete removal. I'm still going to cheat every now and then, but I know I'll feel it every time.
