Darn you GRAINS! And...is Paleo for me?

So, since the reset, I've not been able to reintroduce grains without getting quite an upset stomach. And now that I've thought about it, while I ate grains during Phase 2 of the reset, my stomach was upset too...though at the time, I'd thought it was just the detox supplement. Now, I know better. So, going vegetarian doesn't seem like a plausible option if I eliminate grains... So, now I'm researching the paleo plan. Though should I opt to head that direction, I will still plan on doing at least "meatless Monday" and really focus on all fruits/veggies that day. And I would miss my granola so it's pretty likely that I'll end of with a modified version of something that I'll likely coin my own term for!

And Shakeology is not completely paleo as there are grains included. HOWEVER, it'd be SO worth me keeping it as part of my diet for several reasons. One, is that it tastes awesome. Two, the fruits, veggies, and even some meats today aren't as nutrient rich as they used to be as a result of being produced at such rapid rates so having the added nutrition means a great deal to me. Third, there are plenty of beneficial ingredients that I don't have easy access to putting into my own smoothie. Fourth, it's a filling and fast meal. And finally, it makes me feel good...more energy, better mood, fewer cravings. Enough said!
