30 Days of Primal

Diet seems to be the hardest thing for people to change when trying to get healthy. And it’s not through lack of wanting or lack of trying, it just seems that no matter what they do they can’t get the hang of it or they struggle to ecen start.

Whenever I come across a conundrum like this I ask myself ‘Why’? Why is it that changing the way you eat is so hard?

The answer is in the question: Change.

Adding two, three or even four hours of exercise a week is usually pretty easy for most people. They can block off those few hours at the start of the week, usually on the way to or from work so an extra commute is not needed. There is not much thought involved, they just rock up at the predietirmined time, work hard for an hour and then resume their usual life.

You can’t do that with diet.

Nope, improving your diet to what it should be will probably initially have a huge impact on your social life, ‘relaxation’ time and even your work. It can seem so daunting just thinking about those changes that most people give up before they even take one step.

If you don’t put much thought into what you are eating at the moment, then improving your diet will probably seem like an insurmountable change.

I’ve been working on creating a more healthy diet for myself for the past 3-4 years. There have been set backs, job changes, fad diets and all the rest of it along the way, but it’s important to keep trying because over time a small amount of progress adds up to big changes.

This is why I’ve decided for both you and me that I am going to be sharing with you 30 Days of Primal eating. I will be completely honest with you with what I eat and I hope to share with you some recipes and tactics to managing a healthy diet.

I will also be sharing a weekly article with you to help get you motivated and inspired to change.

So please, join me on this adventure by following me by RSS or email.

See you tomorrow for Day 1!
