so whats the deal with beverages? im kinda getting sick of lemon water. ive looked everywhere but its hard to find out if we can drink anything? apple juice doesnt have sugar added - can we drink a little in the mornings? is herbal tea ok?
Hey all,
Most of you don't know me but I've been a voyeur on your website. I workout at CF Vancouver and we're doing our own little Paleo Challenge.
I'm loving all the comments you guys are making so i keep coming back.
I love seeing all the healthy whole food that's being eaten. Good for you. And to those of you that may be struggling right now, I guarantee you it will get easier and you will end up loving it.
I did a one-year Holistic Nutrition Program through CSNN last year.
And I hope you don't mind if I give some advice to those of you that are experiencing side-effects including headaches and such. Drinking a lot of water is very very important for you. When your body is detoxing, it needs water in order to remove the toxins from your system. If there's not enough water, then the toxins will continue to circulate and that contributes to the headaches. Lots fo water won't necessarily get rid of the headaches, but it should help.
I'd recommend starting every morning (before breakfast not during breakfast) with a big glass of water, and add some lemon juice to it. Your body needs the H2O, and the lemon is alkalizing and helps your digestive system too.
Note: if you do the lemon water and you experience heartburn or acid reflux, then you've got other digestive issues going on and should not continue with the lemon water.
Good luck everyone!
Don't forget to check the list of guidelines on the first page of the blog. There are a lot of questions that are answered right in there.
Eat real food – meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, SOME fruit, and good fat from nuts, seeds, coconut, olives/olive oil and avocado.
Guys - the fruit and juice consumption is a bit high. Don't just switch the sugar addiction to another source. You're trying to reset insulin sensitivity. Fruit sugars (fructose)do not get converted to glycogen (that's how we store energy) as readily as glucose (from our complex carbs ie veggies). They create huge insulin spikes. And then drops. These drops in insulin levels are what make you feel hungry. Cut back on the sweet stuff (including the larabars) and you'll feel less hungry.
Herbal teas are fine.
Read your labels. Be cautious if you see high carb grams.
Don't eat it if there's wheat, gluten, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, glucose, sucrose (or any other fancy word for sugar), canola oil, palm oil, peanuts, rice flour, or anything you can't pronounce.
Keep up the great work everyone!
Tanya, you are a book of knowledge thank you for all the great info you send out and keeping us on track !!
Isn't it funny how its so basic and straight forward but we try and sneak things in hoping like crazy they'll pass the test so we can eat them.
My cashews have canola oil but no salt does that mean they're not raw cashews?
I know for sure that my fruit count is too high right now but just trying to get through the first couple of days and then I will try and take that back a notch. So far today.

If there's oil in your nuts they are roasted. (that there's just funny) Look for the ones with "raw" on the package. And make sure ingredients are "cashew nuts" with nothing else :)
And for Chris' recipe on today - feel free to use true chicken or beef broth - but be careful with packaged stock/ broth. Again, read the label. You'll be surprised how many of them list wheat in the ingredients. It gives the liquid "body" and makes you think it's richer.
You guys will be amazed at how much you learn about what you choose to nourish yourself with by the end of these 30 days.
