Day 61
It's all over; the diet is broken. I actually feel a profound sense of relief and euphoria, this has reassured me that I have done the right thing. I am and always will be a foodie, to shut down this element of my personality is wrong-headed and counter-productive. What's more is that it doesn't sit well with the ideals of mindfulness. I would be always trying to get there (a healthy body), when in fact I will always be here (the man wanting to eat that bit of food but can't). This has been a wonderful and life-affirming experiment, and I have learned lots of valuable lessons about myself. Thank you to Marcus for taking part in it with me.
A Test Of Mindfulness (The Paleo Diet)
Thank you for sharing the experience wit us.

Hey Gareth
Okay mate, whatever is best for you and your happiness I guess. I really can't compute your thinking here and I am a foodie and Paleo and fit and healthy and can meditate. For me, they are not mutually exclusive and I just can't process the desire to abandon your health to eat something that is just all so easily replaced with a bit of smart thinking and creative cookery.
Wh(e)atever makes you happy though brother!
Take care
Marcus
