Zac Sky – Positive Happiness

Doing something different to what society considers normal is often met with scorn, laughter or criticism. And if you’re really lucky, sometimes you get all three at once. And if you’re a fan of the paleo diet than you’re probably getting this often from all the paleo-haters out there. My favourite hater comment: “A caveman … Continue reading »

It was a week before my trip to Europe for my brother’s wedding and I was sitting in the doctor’s room waiting for the verdict – I had noticed this strange intermittent burning pain in my abdomen for the past two weeks and I was beginning to get worried. But I was not prepared for … Continue reading »

It has been one month since I first started living the paleo lifestyle and I am converted. I realised I was converted when, like all good paleo zealots, I started calling it a lifestyle not a diet. But it’s true. It feels like a natural progression for me with my focus on developing and improving … Continue reading »

A full week down! 7 days on the paleo diet and I must say its going well. I can feel that this lifestyle is becoming more habit than forced and I am really enjoying the amount of fresh food I am eating. I’m beginning to wonder why it took me 27 years to figure it … Continue reading »

Day 6 on the Paleo diet and I’m going to keep this article short and sweet. Nothing out of the ordinary to report today, just another day eating healthy foods and feeling good. Maybe that’s a good thing? This eating style has become part of my life now that I do not even notice it? … Continue reading »

Day 4 on the Paleo diet and I’m feeling great! Perhaps the earlier bedtime last night played a part but I cannot discount the possibility that this paleo eating style is having positive effects on my body. Just like it said on the tin! The Obligatory Meal Info Breakfast: Chicken Apple Hash and some Macadamias … Continue reading »

Day 3 has come and gone and I am still staying strong on the paleo diet. Another day filled with fresh fruit and vegetables, lean protein, nuts, and oils. Sugar cravings are still around (my mouth actually started salivating when I walked through the junk food aisle at the supermarket today) but I can ignore … Continue reading »

Day 2 in my paleo experiment was good but a little harder than yesterday. I’m calling today my “sugar itch” day because I found myself daydreaming a few times about sweet foods. I think it will get worse though hence it only being an itch today. I did spend the day in an office watching … Continue reading »

Today was my first official day on the Paleo Diet and it was a positive experience overall. I had trialled a few paleo meals over the past few days but decided to wait until today as I attended a wedding yesterday and I doubt they would have appreciated me requesting paleo foods at such late … Continue reading »
