I was always a terrible baker and frankly, as a sugar addict, Paleo treats scared me. I flash back to the childhood in which I could eat 12 slices of french toast or 9 donuts for breakfast without breaking a sweat, and I am immediately terrified that I still would not be able to stop myself if something sweet were set in front of me. But in the years since I began blogging at the start of my Paleo journey, that is no longer a problem–not really. I have no trouble having this stuff around and saying no when I know that I wouldn’t be able to stop myself (usually because I’m stressed out or upset). Because, as good as this stuff is, I don’t want it more often than once or twice a year on my birthday or someone else’s. I’d rather have some pineapple. Which, incidentally, would be super delicious with this light, fluffy cake. You can skip frosting and top yours with sliced fruit if you like. Mmmf.
Keep Your Health on Track
Whether you’re starting the autoimmune protocol, a new medication, an exercise routine or trying to get to the bottom of your headaches or indigestion, cataloging your activities and symptoms is a great way to gauge your progress. The Ultimate Health Journal can help you stay on track with diet, fitness, and other lifestyle changes you have begun or been prescribed, notice patterns in your health and lifestyle so you can enact positive changes, and provide a valuable tool for you, your family, and your healthcare team. I would never have noticed that cinnamon makes me sneeze or dairy gives me hiccups without keeping a written record during my elimination diet, which helped me see the patterns that solved my problems!
