Primal and proud

Once again my chocolate craving went away at work but I wont be surprised if it happens again tonight

I am doing a very long 12 hour shift today (my choice to pick up extra hours!) so food will be a little different today.

Breakfast - Paleo cinnamon rolls

Lunch - Pepperami followed by Greek yogurt with berries and pecan nuts

Dinner - Tuna mayo salad

You've done well resisting so far!
Can you not buy some super dark chocolate? I thought dark chocolate over 70% was allowed on paleo?

Good luck with your shift, at least chocolate can't find you there lol!

I don't really like dark chocolate
Unfortunately there is always chocolate at work but im pretty good at ignoring it xxx

You seem to ignore it darn well if you ask me! I need some of your willpower

Have you tried upping your magnesium? Either by supplement or increasing food which
contain it? I read some things online that suggest chocolate cravings are related to low magnesium levels, I dont know how reliable that is, but
couldnt hurt to increase magnesium rich foods for a few days? Think its foods like nuts, dried fruit and dark green leafy veg.

Unfortunately dark chocolate has grown on me lol think I need to buy some I dont like so I go off it xx

I've just found some 90% dark chocolate to try.. I've been taking a magnesium supplement and I'm not sure if that's the reason why I've not eaten much chocolate lately or not.. I used to have 3-6 squares a day before ..

Reading this has just reminded me of a raw chocolate recipe I have made from coconut oil.

Ooh some good ideas to try thanks ladies

Sorry for not updating I have been very busy at work all weekend!
The chocolate cravings have completely gone which is good and I managed to avoid giving in to any temptation too

I have been completely on track and have even managed to cut back on all the bananas and apples I was eating and have managed to stick to just strawberries (and have only had a few of those too!)

Have also cut down on the maple syrup too

DH made a paleo pineapple upside down cake at the weekend but I wasnt keen, infact I have pretty much given up on paleo cake as it doesnt do anything for me! The only paleo baking I like is cinnamon rolls and I only fancy those maybe once or twice a month anyway.

Breakfast - Full fat greek yogurt

Lunch - Cheese omlette and salad

Yes I am , I havent had cravings like that since I started this WOE and did have moments where I thought it might just be best to give in and have a little but I stayed strong and came out the otherside Hopefully the scales will reward my good behaviour too
