A Little Burst Of Joy

Posted on March 11, 2026 by Steve Ainslie

Something unexpected happened to me the day I after quit the carnivore diet and bought my first batch of Primal groceries.

That day, as part of my transition back to a more normal diet, I ate a navel orange with my breakfast. Oh My God was it delicious! It was juicy and sweet and…wonderful.

Then, for dinner, I had Primal Mayo with my salmon, a salad with cabbage, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, carrots and cabbage. And a pint of raspberries. OMG was what came to mind again. The raspberries were like candy. The salad was crispy, bright and fresh – like eating a taste of Spring.

I had forgotten how much I missed salads, raw vegetables and fruits.

Eat mouthful made me smile. Each taste gave me a little burst of joy.

It’s been a long time since I felt that.

I wasn’t sure I ever would again.
