Quoting MoBall:

What does "metaboically deranged" mean?

For myself, I think I've been a 9. My cheats are all related to dairy (creamer in coffee and 2% milk cappucinos.) I DID eat only 1 big scoop of green tea ice cream ( at a HUGELY delicious chinese/ japanese buffett yesterday), so think I'm doing pretty good.

Will probably stay 80% paleo after challenge is over. The reason I did it was to see if recovery was better, and have noticed I'm less sore and less sleepy - so I'm convinced it is helping.

Royal Buffett by the way (golf and roselle) - it is protein heaven. They have a cotton candy machine too -not that we eat let our kids eat that or anything.

I heard that royal buffet was pretty awesome #Chinese buffet heaven.

What I meant by metabolically deranged was that my body still looks for carbs for fuel rather than fat.

I think I'm a 7. I had one day where I broke completely from the diet, after having gone 2 weeks being nearly perfect. I've stayed away from fruit, but eat some fruit to "cheat". I feel like I've lost some strength - not too much - but also feel a little more resilient during metcon wods. I don't have the diet dialed in yet, but feel like I'm building solid habits.

I'm pretty sure I'm still "metabolically deranged", but I know I can overcome this over time. A challenge like this is definitely reinforcing some things I was trying to do after Thanksgiving. I'm going to keep it up after the challenge is over.

Eh, probably a 5. I don't know why, but I'm having a hard time staying paleo over the past month or so.
