About Me

I am a wife, mother of two, and a CareerMama who has gone Primal. After having my second child, I found it difficult to lose the last 15 pounds of baby fat. My usual regimen of counting calories and circuit training just wasn’t cutting it. I was starting to doubt that the method of losing weight that had worked for me in the past was the right one for me today. My husband began reading The Primal Blueprint, and after reading about 1/3 of the book, he decided to try the diet. I, however, remained skeptical. There was no way I could give up pizza and pasta. And I didn’t like very many vegetables.


After being on the diet for only a couple of weeks, my husband’s pants were looser on him and he reported a weight loss of about 4-5 pounds. My desire to fit into my jeans forced me to take the plunge and try the diet for myself. After only 2 weeks on the diet, I also noticed a change. I lost 3 pounds and was beginning to lose some of the stomach fat I had accumulated during pregnancy. I have been on the diet for about 6 weeks now and have gone down one dress size. In a few more weeks, or perhaps a month, I should be back into my beloved skinny jeans.

Sugar High


We attended two children's birthday parties this week. At the first party I was able to stick to my Primal diet and stay away from the chocolate ice cream cake. At the second party, however, I was unable to avoid the homemade chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream which was made by a very good friend of mine (who happens to be an excellent baker). I was amazed at how quickly and strongly I felt the sugar high and how hard I crashed. I felt awful and had a terrible headache. I have only been on this diet for 3 weeks, but obviously my body has already gotten used to it. Next time I will only take a few bites.
