The Road to a Paleo Diet - Step 1

My weight loss has plateaued, therefore, I would like to take my diet more seriously.  While I have advocated the merits of the Paleo Diet to my friends and family, I have not followed the diet very strictly.  Today, that will change.  My plan is a "staged withdrawl".

The first step is to cut out all grains, bread, pasta, and processed sugars.  While I am confident I can handle the the loss of bread and pasta, I know sugars will put up a fight.  My name is Colby and I am a sugar addict.  (Hi Colby....)

I can deal with this for the time being with artificial sugars.  I know, I know--artificial sugars are horrible for me.    Baby steps, right?  I will look into stevia as an alternative to splenda.  At some point in the future, I will eliminate these as well.

Anyhow, I plan to strictly follow this modification for 2 weeks.  At that point, I will add another modification--perhaps the elimination of dairy.
