After trying the whole paleo thing for about 2 weeks, I realized how hard it is to do! I know, 2 weeks is not even very long and I really wanted to stick with it, but I just couldn’t do it. I felt like I was so focused on trying to have protein all the time and it was stressing me out. Also, being someone who doesn’t particularly like eating meat all the time, it felt forced and I just wasn’t enjoying it. So I have decided to allow grains back into my diet, although I did notice I feel better not having grains very often, so I am making a conscious decision to avoid having them all the time. I find that when I do have grains, breakfast or lunch are better times for me and then having a grainless dinner is best. In the morning, I like a hearty breakfast such as this hemp oatmeal, especially in the colder months. As much as I love my smoothies, sometimes, all I want is a bowl of warm stovetop oats. It gives me all the feels!
