Sorry for the extended departure. Hello again! I’ve been off the Paleo bandwagon for quite a few months now. I won’t be continuing on with this tumblr as it wouldn’t seem fair. With that said, I don’t shun the Paleo lifestyle nor do I think it’s ineffective, but personally it did not work for me. That is the beauty of things; trial and error. I’m still on my journey and trying to accomplish what I set out to do in the first place; live and eat healthy. While I no longer follow Paleo guidelines I am still committed to my goals and continue to eat healthy and as unprocessed as possible. If you wish to continue following me, you can find me over on instagram @sinmarazul  See you there and thanks for all the support!

Eating Calories vs Drinking Calories

I’m not sure why some people drink the majority of their calories. I can’t understand the satiety that comes with drinking a juice blend vs eating a nice hearty meal. Back in the day I couldn’t eat without drinking a coke or drinking some fruit juice. I used to brag about not ever craving sweets. What sweets could I possibly crave when I was literally drinking over 100g of sugar a day? I haven’t had a fruit juice or soda in around 6 months and I don’t think I will ever go back to those horrible ” drinking ” habits. Do you drink your calories? Do you do it knowingly or just accidentally?

Last full week of the 30 Day Paleo Challenge. We are getting our final weigh in/measurements next Thursday, so stay tuned for the results. After the amount of red meat, dates, and sweet potatoes I’ve had these past few weeks (and the wine, sugar and CHEESE I haven’t had), the results better be damn good. 

These homemade Lara bars helped pull me from the brink of insanity earlier this week. I subbed the apples out for apricots when I couldn’t find them at the grocery store and used raw cashews instead of the macadamia nuts. This is a delicious treat that satisfies my sugar cravings and a perfect little snack.  When you can’t have cheese.
