Paleo update. Bring on the bacon!

So I have completed three whole days of eating primally or, as I like to think of it, Noahifically . I wasn't sure I'd have a transition period given that I already was eating low-carb, high-fat and protein, but guess what? I'm in one. Basically I feel icky until 11 a.m. and then BAM I have energy through the roof. And that's it. Other people have headaches, constipation issues etc. but I seem to have avoided that.

I must admit I laughed quite a bit over that one; wouldn't it be more dangerous to hunt the meat that they were supposed to have eaten? And what about smoking the bees out? Or waiting until winter?
