"Why do I feel so tired on Paleo?" & Headless Horseman Challange

DAY 5 OF THE PALEO CHALLANGE!!!


"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us...but how we react to what happens to us, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.  A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes.  A catalyst...a spark, that created extraordinary results." 

Yesterdays WOD:
A) 15 min to build a heavy Snatch (full squat)
B) 15 min to build a heavy Clean and Jerk (full squat)
C) 3 sets of front squats (x2)
(The weight of A, B & C should build on each other)


 Why am I so tired on Paleo?

This is a very common side effect for the first 3 days to a week of starting the Paleo diet.  Why?  Because we have trained your body's to live off of SUGAR!!  ....and now we have taken that instant (fattening) energy away.  As I said in the Nutrition Seminar...it's in everything from Ketchup, the processed meats to more obvious things like soda.  The more you lived off of sugar before Paleo, the more your body is dependent on it and the longer it will take to get off it.  As I said, the norm is 3 - 7 days. 

All of these diseases are known to be caused by refined are man made sugars.  obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, depression, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's.  All have steadily increased over the last 100 years do to the increased consumption of sugar.
