week 1 done!:breakfast and lunch...thoughts

So I woke up super dizzy today. I couldn't focus my eyes last night and it was hard to focus this morning. I don't like this effect and I feel like this is due to not eating enough food.
I weighed myself. I lost 6.5 pounds. Though I am excited about this weight loss I don't feel like it is healthy. I feel like the weight loss could be due to not eating enough.
I did lose inches though
Waist: lost 1/2 inch
arms: lost 1 inch each
Legs: lost 2 inches
Hips: Lost 2 inches
Bust: lost no inches

My husband lost 8 pounds. 

So for breakfast I cooked up some asparagus and eggs, with some sausage. I was putting the eggs away and dropped them. (I really believe coordination is a side effect of paleo). All the eggs broke. I cooked them up anyway for the dog.

The more I research Paleo the more I am worried that after the 30 months we will be gaining all the weight back. I do think that the idea of cutting out processed food, refined sugar and excess sodium is a great thing. I think this can be done even if you do eat grains and beans.

This whole experience is great for learning to eat at home. And it has great new ideas for incorprating more veggies and fruit. As well as cooking with different oils.

Up to this point I have lots of questions as far as the oils we are allowed to eat. Olive oil? Really? I don't think they had that back then in all honesty. I think there are a few things that are just added for the sake of healthy. I think its great to have clean eating and I think its great to restart your body but really some of the stuff is super unbelievable.

In order for the call for moderation and for the sake of my body and well being I will slowly just add in starches and whole grains non processed. I will be reading labels very carefully as well as being more vigilant in eating my veggies. To this point I feel like it should be 80/20 as far as meats/veggies to grains and starches.

I also refuse to call this cheating. I have no loyalty to food. I am not cheating on food and I am not hurting myself or someone else. Calling it cheating is saying its bad and makes one feel guilty. Food shouldn't be good or bad and there shouldn't be a connection of emotional things with food. This is whee we can turn food into emotional things.
This is just want I feel I should do for the sake of my health. I call for moderation. I will let you all know what I will be adding. It won't be alot and it will be more like Primal eating. 80/20

Cheat” implies taboo behavior, which implies sin, which then begets guilt.
There should be no guilt associated with food consumption. Ever.
If the only time you allow yourself to eat a cheeseburger is when you’re “cheating” on your diet, how does that make you feel when you’re consuming said food? Probably pretty crappy.
This creates a dichotomy between what you may see as “good” foods (things that you’re allowed to eat) versus “bad” foods (things that you’re not supposed to eat). From here, the thought process evolves into believing that you’re a bad person for eating “bad” foods, and similarly, redeemed when you eat enough of the “good” food.
Yes, there are foods that are better for you, and others that you should probably enjoy in moderation.
But food is not naughty; food is not nice.
