24th September (Day 2) - Energy Crash!

Day 2 and no stomach problems as of tea time yesterday.

Breakfast - Mango, unsweetened Greek yoghurt.

Lunch - I improvised an apple egg pudding with cinnamon and honey.  It was gross but I ate it anyway :(

Dinner - 2 x sausages, carrots, peas.

Snacks - 2 x handfuls of nuts (at different points in the day, coconut macaroon, piece of Wensleydale cheese, banana.

My energy levels were fine until after lunch when I had a MAJOR energy crash!  I think I need to remember to snack.  I had a banana and a coconut macaroon and started to feel better.  After dinner I felt fine.  I guess that's carb cold turkey!

I also learned that it's okay to eat a little bit of dark chocolate... WIN! :)

23rd September - Day 1 and coconut macaroon recipe

Last night I binged a bit because it was my 'last night' of conventional eating!  No surprise then that I had stomach issues and couldn't sleep...

Breakfast - scrambled eggs with red pepper cooked in butter with frozen peas (cooked of course!)

Lunch - Tuna mayonnaise with basil plus mixed salad greens and cucumber.

Dinner - Lambs leg steak (fried), boiled beetroot, sprouts and carrots.

Snacks - 1 banana, 1 coconut macaroon (recipe found in 'Paleo for Beginners: Essentials to get Started' published by Rockridge Press or there is a similar alternative here.

Despite my new eating plan going okay my stomach is still playing up :(
