The Bulletproof Diet after one month

So I have been on the diet for about a month and have to admit I am convinced. While I didn't see 1 pound a day weight loss but I have have noticed a huge change in my energy and consequently my mood. It is rather expensive for the food and you will basically live in Trader Joe's, Sprouts, or Whole Foods. I having been rather spoiled am having to get used to cooking my own food which is new and what started as a huge inconvenience has actually become fun, as long as I don't procrastinate.

The diet is similar in ways to the Paleo diet emphasizing healthy fats, lean grass fed pastured meats, and lots of vegetables. There's even an assortment of desserts you can cook. The exercise portion focuses on once a week weight training of the 5 core movements so basically you do one to exhaustion hop to the second to exhaustion and so forth. Takes me about 15 minutes at the gym and the reccommendation is to do it once a week to allow your body to recover. Other than that you should walk as much as you can in your daily routine.

All in all oddly enough its been a very pleasant experience which isn't something I'd say about many of the other diets I tried. I'll update you on the weight loss next month so far its been about 7 pounds which isn't bad it just isn't a pound a day either. I expect now that I am used to the fasting component that my weight loss should pick up now.
