I have never had avocado and i like almond butter. Thanks guys
You have never had avocado?? You must!! Just cuz its green doesnt make it yucky!! Finally had my son get over what it looks like and just try it..now we fight over who gets the bigger half. I will say if they are to ripe they are bitter and not tasty. If i remember correctly avocado is a natural food that helps regulate blood sugar. |

My son is hypoglycemic. I would guess you're not getting enough fat, and you need to up your complex carbs a little also. More veggies, less fruit. Are there any kinds of grains or pseudo grains you can eat on the paleo plan? We do a lot of brown rice and quinoa. It's all about balance. Carbs should always be eaten with a good amount of protein, and a little fat added for balance and nutrient absorbtion. Everyone's system is different and you'll have to experiment with different ratios and food combinations to find out what works. We use cheese quite a bit successfully to balance carb intake, so you might have to modify what you're doing, at least until your body adjusts.
No grains on Paleo and for the hard core Paleo, no dairy either. |

Really trying to eat better at night. Me cooking just isn't going to happen.... I leave the house at 7, get home around 6:30-7. Then go out to the arena and ride.
We come in starving at 9:30-10 and wind up eating wheat thins & cheese for dinner. My poor husband... LOL! |

I mix them in things - put it with my eggs and sweet potatoes, or throw it in my chili. Granted, I can eat them plain, but they are great mixed with meals! |

Once you get the junk out of your system, you will actually crave good foods..
We went from eating out everyday to eating out maybe once a month and most of the time I regret it.
I love bacon and watermelon and I always have both on hand where I can grab them for a snack. |

| I would personally add more complex carbs like sweet potato, oatmeal, and brown rice. I know that is not apart of paleo diets. But maybe adding more healthy fats would help too. I eat half an avocado every morning with my eggs.
I once tried going vegan. I ate ALOT. But i started experiencing extreme head aches and felt just drained, sometimes your body can't handle such a sudden and complete change in diet.
Make sure your on a multivitamin too. That might help.
I also found this helpful food list when I was considering paleo. I ended up opting for the "clean eating" and have never felt deprived.

We buy SO MUCH BACON! I buy it with the least amount of fat I can find. I dont like fats texture. We pretty much keep boiled eggs and cooked bacon at all times. Perfect snack for any time of day. WHO CAN SAY NO TO BACON?? LOL |
