paleo diet day 3,4

well, these two days of the paleo plan were pretty hard.

it was taco night, everything a taco is is forbidden on the paleo plan, including the irresistible chips and salsa. But alas, I resisted them. BF and I ordered shrimp salads, while everyone else had yummy dollar tacos. Not to say that the plain shrimp salad was bad, it was just not a dollar taco, dripping in grease and salty salsa, washed down by a cool salty margarita. Yes, I love margaritas and they are so very banned from the paleo diet.

The next night, we went to a sustainability mixer, meet and greet type deal, and I was starving. So starving, in fact, that I was willing to eat ANYTHING that this restaurant would serve. Plus, it was at The Farm of Beverly Hills. Which is a great place. Eating anything they serve, would be, of course, breaking paleo, but I was starving! And as one of my friends noted, if a caveman saw a buffet, he would not avoid the carbs.
Luckily for me, there was a small selection of some paleo-friendly foods. Picking at the cherry tomatoes, cauliflower, and strawberries, I was depressed. There was a whole f-ing cheese platter! Waiters were running around with truffled mac and cheese, it was obscene. Carbs and dairy products were laughing in my face. Really.
I succumbed to the free wine. The Paleo Diet book says that you can have wine in moderate amounts. As a college student at an OPEN BAR, it would have been wrong of me not to have any wine. WRONG, paleo diet or no. Therefore, as my civic duty I had wine. It was terrific. I loved every calorie of it. Every moderate ounce. I regret nothing.
