So hopefully y'all made it through week 1 without too much detox pain. By now you should be starting to feel good - sleeping better, wodding better, less cravings. I myself am in shock that I went a whole week without dairy. And surprisingly haven't been jonesing for cheese. I have been enjoying having my sugar-free bacon a few times per week at breakfast, and so has our 6 am mascot, Rhett Butler. No surprise he prefers bacon for breakfast to oatmeal. :)
Keep pushing through this week. Focus on the small successes and keep in mind that this is a LIFESTYLE adoption not a diet. So make sure you're working on challenging levels that you can maintain. We've already had one person report a 9# weight loss. Yes you read that - 9 pounds in 1 week. Take that Biggest Loser! What Ranch?
More Paleo deliciousness....

Scrumdiddlydumptious Devil Eggs
Ingredients (for 8 devils):
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 1 avocado
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- salt & pepper to taste
- 8 thin slices smoked beef
Peel and half the eggs and spoon their yolks into a bowl. Mash the yolks with the avocado, hot sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Refill egg whites with the yolk mixture. Drape smoked beef slices on top, and serve!
I personally, prefer to top this with bacon (shocker).
