Thought of the Day: Just Because You Follow Paleo

Just because you follow a paleo type diet doesn't mean you can eat as much as you can, when you can.

It doesn't mean you can be less active, just because you have lost a few pounds.

It doesn't mean you should starve yourself.

It doesn't mean you should think bacon is great just because most paleo bloggers seem to worship it (and/or prefer coffee to water)

Being hungry on occasion is normal, constantly being full and content based on continuous food consumption and snacks are not.

Enjoying occasional vigorous activity and lots of moderate and low level activity is normal. Being sedentary is not healthy (neither is exercising all the time: on average elite athletes die earlier than the rest of us)...
