Should we eat like cavemen?

I have always been searching for the perfect way to eat for my body. Everyone is different. I have always felt that my body was "carb-sensitive." Such that when I eat carbs, (breads, potatoes, chips, and even rice, oats, and sweet potatoes.) - I tend to get sleepy and crave more carbs. Same thing with sugar. I have been a sugar addict all my life. So bad that it even led me to binge eat and be bulimic at times. I have not shared that with many people. But now I feel ok talking about it.

I am currently reading the Paleolithic Diet and Good Calories, Bad Calories. This blog will rpresent my journey. I am giving up starches and sweets except for a cheat meal once a week. I may or may not eat that cheat meal depending on how I feel.

So far I have lost 3 lbs cutting out carbs. I know that is water weight. My clothes are fitting a bit better. I will post pictures and stats after a few weeks.
I feel much better after a few days of crying and depression, which I believe was my body going through sugar withdrawal.

Today I made a dish with:
3 omega-3 hard boiled eggs
1 tuna pouch (180 calorie pouch)
4 tbsp fat free mayo (I am not ready to give up dairy)
2 cups shredded broccoli, cabbage, carrots
2 cups shredded red cabbage
2 tbsp relish
2 packets of splenda
1 sliced apple

I will eat this throughout the day.
Cardio Kickboxing tonight. :)
