Caveman Diet Fail!

I haven't been keeping up with the Caveman Diet posts because I've been sick.
I'm happy to report that we've ended this experiment. The food was good and I lost some more weight. The problem was that it got boring and there were many times that I just did not want to eat because we had the same thing already 400 times that week. Also I felt 'off' most of the time. I was forgetful and just did not feel well. On top of that I had several sugar crashes. Bell peppers, eggs and blueberries are not something to eat everyday with little to no variance. So to the caveman diet I give you a HUGE fail! I'm happy we tried it but wont look back. Enjoy!

Caveman Diet: Day 11

Breakfast:
I lost the picture of breakfast, but it was comparable to Wednesday's breakfast.
It consists of fried peppers, a strawberry, blueberries, sausage, scrambled egg, pumpkin seeds, and almonds.

Lunch:
Sausage, black and green olives, scrambled egg whites, blue berries, snap peas, green peppers, zucchini, and 1 1/2 almonds (really, that's what it was).

Snack:
I needed a snack. A creamy yummy sweet snack and this is what I found. No dairy, no grains, it fit with the diet and was delicious.

Dinner:
Chicken and Vegetables.

Enjoy!

Caveman Diet: Day 7

Breakfast:
Fresh green peppers, scrambled egg, and inch of smoked turkey sausage, and almonds.

Lunch:
Progresso Vegetable Classics: Lentil. It was ok but not great. It tasted like the soup was having a hard time decided if it wanted to be spicy of sweet and so decided to be neither.

Dinner:
Oh goodness this was delicious. Fried eggplant topped with soy based cheese, fried zucchini, and turkey meatballs.

Snack:
Bear made this for me because we were out of plantains. He fried regular bananas and topped them with just a smidgen of sugar and cinnamon. They tasted like buttery cinnamon and the house still smells good this morning.

Enjoy!

Caveman Diet: Day 6

Breakfast:
Vegetables, Strawberries, an inch of smoked turkey sausage, pumpkin seeds, scrambled egg, and some almonds.
Lunch:

Ratatouille topped with dairy free, tofu based sour cream.


Dinner:
Ok, I'm embarrassed to post this but it's what I ate. Because lunch was veggies, and there was no afternoon snack, by the time dinner rolled around my sugar was crashing. Bear drove us straight to the grocery store and bought a pre-made chicken and mashed potatoes. It tasted great and brought me back, but there were no veggies and I think the potatoes set us back a bit.


Snack: The last of the plantain. Mmmm

Enjoy!

Caveman Diet: Day 5

Breakfast:
Pumpkin seeds, Strawberries, almonds, and and egg scrambled with vegetables.

Lunch:
Peanut butter and celery, lettuce, snap peas (under the lettuce) strawberries, scrambled egg white, baby dill pickles, and GF green olives.

Snack:
Broccoli spears with melted soy based cheese on top.

Dinner:
This is a picture of the whole casserole dish but it is Ratatouille (kind of). The peppers and eggplant were to big to fit right and there were no red peppers at the farmers market.
It was quite delicious though, and we served it with chicken on the side. mmm

Enjoy!
