Eating Healthy................so overrated.

Well, it's not really...but sometimes it's just really, really hard.

I understand the importance of eating healthy - it's better for your body and the older you get, the harder it will be to shed weight or battle things like high cholesterol or (God forbid) diabetes.  I also understand how delicious certain foods can be (Cheese.  Enough said) which makes eating healthy really (fucking really) hard.

I do not consider myself to be overweight.  I eat good food and I do my best to try and avoid things that I know are blatantly bad for me (Like Meth...meth is pretty easy to avoid).  However, I am also very, very out of shape.  And unlike my younger self, that could not work out for months and bounce back like it was nothing (lucky bitch...), my self now has difficulty rebuilding all the muscle I once had.  A big part of that, I believe, has to do with diet.  And I've tried all sorts of diets....most recently, Paleo (No, I did not join a Crossfit Gym....$125 A MONTH???? Are you fucking kidding me?).

Jason has a Paleo cookbook, and I love to cook so I thought, "Why not?"  A lot of the recipes are surprisingly tasty!  And most have less than 4 ingredients.  And even though it says to not salt your food, I do it anyway.  The hardest part, however, is not reaching for any variation of that glorious dairy confection that is CHEESE.  I could eat cheese errv.ree.day.  On errv.ree.thing. (I write this as I stuff roasted rosemary parm chips from Whole Foods into my face....nom nom nom...).  I love cheese.  I would cry forever if I ever found out I was lactose intolerant.

Where was I?  Oh, right!  Paleo...
My favorite recipe that I tried was the this pork loin recipe that is absolutely delicious.  But, alas, no cheese.

So, perhaps eating healthy isn't TOTALLY overrated, but going full-on paleo is.  I'm sorry, but I don't care if my body wasn't "meant" to process dairy.  It's freakin' delicious.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have more parm chips that need to be eaten...
