I just wanted to talk about my poop..LOL. I have always been pretty regular...3 times every morning. The first one was usually the best and most solid...the next 2 were...well...lets just say not as solid. Since Monday there has been a slight change in this "dookie" department...if you will. I am only going once..maybe twice in the morning but the quality has changed dramatically. If you are from upstate NY or been through this area you must have heard Fucillo car commercials. Their "catch phrase" sums up my new morning constitutional..."HUGE..UH"!
Why am elaborating so much on this somewhat social taboo conversation...because GI health is probably the best marker of your overall health. The ability to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste is tantemount to health. Not only that, but the balance of intenstinal flora is so critical to your body being able to forify itself for normal function. This new change has me pumped.
Honestly, the change to total paleo was not that hard for me. The thing I cut out most was sugar...in the form of Ben and Jerry's cinnamon buns ice cream. I ate some most nights before bed. That has wheat, dairy and sugar and the repeated interaction between my GI tract and ice cream was not helping it's function. Now...my hope is to be able to control my sugar cravings better but I do not plan on never eating C.B again...it's just too delicious.
