The Paleo Diet – Eat less

One of the things i have noticed on my Paleo Diet journey is that i tend to eat alot less.  Its a nice relief on our wallets and also just nice  not to be hungry all the time.  Previously when i would eat oatmeal, toast, or some other carb heavy item for breakfast i would be hungry at work an hour or two later.  My body was used to the insulin spike from the carbs.  Now some protien and fat for breakfast and i am set till lunch usually.  My breakfast the past few days has been 2 tbsp olive oil, some ground up sausage (on sale at New Seasons), a handful of onions and red peppers, two cups spinach, and two eggs.  Cook up the onions, peppers, and sausage, add the spinach, and when it wilts down a bit throw in the eggs.  Done and done.

As a result of eating less due to paleo foods one natually consumes less calories.  Paleo foods are also alot less calorically dense than standard american diet fare.  I am sure alot of you could down two whoppers no problem.  To eat that many calories in paleo foods you would have to be stuffing alot down your pie hole.
