Coconut oil is highly recommended for people eating the Paleo way. It is expensive oil but it is supposed to be great for sauteing veggies and meats. I also stocked up on about 8 different packages of chicken sausage at Trader Joe's so I am armed and ready for battle!
Now that I am reading each package of food I buy to look for hidden sugars or grains, I am finding so many things have sugar in them! Out of the 14 or so different sausage varieties, I think 7 contained sugar.
For breafast today I had a scambled egg with two mushrooms, diced onions and a big handful of spinach. I would have loved to have eaten it with a nice piece of wheat nut bread from New Season's but I refrained and threw a small handful of almonds on the plate.
For lunch today I heated up two chicken sausages and dipped in in tabasco for a little added kick. Speaking of Tabasco, you would be surprised as to how many hot sauces contain sugar! I read the ingredients on several bottles and found sugar in a few of them. Sugar is a hidden culprit and I feel like a detective in a spy novel trying to suss out all the foods with sugar.
Although my Paleo Diet doesn't officially start until the day after the Super Bowl, I am getting a head start. Would I love a Reser's Peanutbutter Cup or a glass of wine? Sure as hell would! But I don't want either of those things more than I want to get back to being thin and healthy!
