However, I also failed a tad yesterday with some chips...

I listed your non paleo foods below. You probably know but since you only mentioned the chips I thought I'd chime in just in case.

Non paleo:

1/4c pinto beans
3tbsp re-fried beans
15-20 corn chips (egads!! :/)
1c merlot
1c grass fed whole milk

Yesterday was uneventful. I've been sleeping like crap though, but I will start a new thread about this.

Aye, I am aware, but I personally consider them fine (though beans are iffy). I tend not to think like a pre-language caveman, and more like a "primitive" hunter gatherer. Lots of these societies consumed dairy (though, not in milk form - butters and cheeses) and beans and the like. Basically, I'm more lax than most people in that I feel if it was eaten like 5000 years ago, it's probably ok.

The chips, however...

5000 years ago means you can eat bread and chips.

Hey, I said "like" 5000 years ago. I don't know much ancient timelines. I like to think of native americans, inuits, mongolians, and peoples like that rather than cavemen. Still, I try not to eat beans as much as possible (I even stopped eating peanuts), but I don't consider them bad. Some of these peoples regularly consumed butter and cheeses as well.

Back to all-day fasting again. A bit annoying today, probably because of the combo of grazing all weekend and getting some heftier carbs in there (cookies, popcorn, pad thai...).

I've also started chewing on cinnamon sticks... it helps kill off the hunger, and it's apparently good for insulin resistance and metabolism and things like that.

I've also switched to having only one cup of coffee a day (in the morning, at home). This has the added benefit of saving me $2 a day.

Meal
Time: 7:30 pm
1lb grass fed ground beef
2 eggs
4 half-inch slices of beef summer sausage
2oz can anchovies (blegh!)
2c steamed cauliflower
1 medium carrot

Note: anchovies in bulk are like chewing on wax with bits of bone in it

You can roast your own coffee cheaper using a corn popper.

Ah no, I meant at Dunkin Donuts. I ride the train to work, and my regular schedule was to pop in and get a (black) coffee every morning. Work coffee is free.
