The plan was to ease into a completely primal lifestyle, and slowly replace non-primal food with primal alternatives. I realised yesterday, though, that I've been rather more enthusiastic about this. I realised that over the weekend, we were attempting to cut out almost every non-primal food possible.
While this really isn't a bad thing, I can't help wondering what the sudden reduction in my carbohydrate intake is doing to my body. The last two days at work have been tough, as I've been tired, despite having had what was apparently a good night's sleep. At this stage, I'm guessing it's just a reaction to a severe reduction in the simple carbohydrates that I've been feeding my body up until now.
Tiredness aside, I'm really looking forward to the day when there are no non-primal foods in the cupboard. I'm also looking forward to growing my own veggies, as an alternative to buying from the supermarket. This will be a double bonus, as not only will we be saving ourselves quite a bit of money, but I'll have a fair idea that my veggies don't contain any harmful chemicals.
Plans are already afoot to build compost bins, so that our gardens can hopefully remain fertiliser free. We're also prepared to put in the hard yards weeding the veggie patch, so that we don't have to spray any weedkillers, either. It's just a shame that a project like this takes time, because I'd prefer it if I didn't have to hand over so much of my hard earned cash to the supermarkets...
