Living the Paleo Lifestyle takes 100% commitment. It doesn't just start and end with nutrition. A diet change can get great results but after a while you will find your body adapts to the change and you will hit a plateau. Then you will need to add an exercise regime, but in time if you don't make changes to that you will also hit a plateau. You may have perfect nutrition matched with adequate exercise but live a stressful lifestyle and are not seeing results. If this is the case adopting stress release techniques may be what you need. If you want to see great results it is going to take 100% commitment. Some people cope well with diving into the deep end and making rash changes and others don't. If you are someone who doesn't, take small steps, start with one aspect of your life and then when you feel like you have that sorted move to the next. Be kind to yourself and celebrate the small changes you have made rather than wallowing over the ones you feel you need to make.
Considerations to adopting a healthy lifestyle may include
- Improving nutrition
- Cutting back on stress
- Increasing quality exercise
- improving social situations (i.e, surrounding yourself with people who lift you up, rather than the opposite)
- Improving sleep hygiene (i.e, developing a good sleeping routine)
- Cutting back on alcohol
- Developing a positive attitude
Whatever it is that needs to be changed for you to live optimally take small, easy steps to getting there. Remember good things take time :).
