Dairy

I sit in my living room with my hot green tea thinking about my desire to just loose 10 more lbs and contemplating what I can do to make that happen. My brain is thinking "Victoria, it's Saturday, you can have your vanilla latte from Starbucks." My non-bloated tummy says "NOOOOOO dairy gives you gas and you get so bloated." If Starbucks had some almond milk maybe it'd be better but none-the-less it feels like I've lost something because I'm going with my non-bloated tummy's feelings about the dairy.

I can see now, clearly, why dairy is such a restricted item in Paleo. Some people can take it and I can, once and awhile (but with Starbucks, I can take it overboard).  When I do consume a lot of dairy I can get a difference in my stomach and gas levels.

So interesting how digestion can be so interrupted with something as small as dairy.

So back to my original point....how to loose that 10 extra pounds....Maybe it's not as important as continuing to strengthen my body and become lean through Pilates and working out at the gym.

I did go ahead and decide to get a tall Vanilla Latte with milk and guess what? I'm bloated and gassy. It didn't take very long, about 30 minutes. So I guess the verdict is, no more milk!
