Despite eating by doing this for a long time, we still have the ability to catch a lot of our dining buddies off-guard. Their eye brows skyrocket whenever we order our food sans bread, pasta, grain, polenta or beans. The questions will always be exactly the same:
“Are yourself on Atkins or something like that?”
“Trying to slim down?”
“You don't even eat whole grain products?Inches
“What the hell may be the matter along with you?Inches
Well, here exactly may be the matter beside me: I EAT PALEO. As with the Paleolithic (or “Paleo”) Diet. You might have heard about it as being the Caveman Diet.
I am sure this sounds bizarre to individuals who aren’t around the Paleo bandwagon (or haven’t even heard about it). Usually, whenever we tell people we eat based on a Paleolithic or ancestral template, they would like to learn more. However the last factor I wish to do would be to yak about dietary science and transformative history on the meal. (I’ll get it done if pressed, but it’s type of gross after i talk to my mouth full.)
To avoid proselytizing within the dining room table, I am offering up this explanation from the Paleo diet -- and why I am onto it -- in (things i hope is) a simple-to-read Q&A format. But caveat lector: There’s a great deal to cover, and 100s of linked assets to click on (should you so choose). Take bathroom breaks when needed.
Ready? Let’s go.
Here is the sample Paleo Foods
Breakfast : Omega-3 or free ranging eggs scrambled in olive oil with chopped parsley. Grapefruit, or any fresh fruit in season, herbal tea
Snack : Sliced lean beef, fresh apricots or seasonal fruit
Lunch : Caesar salad with chicken (olive oil and lemon dressing), herbal tea
Snack : Apple slices, raw walnuts
Dinner : Tomato and avocado slices; grilled skinless turkey breast; steamed broccoli, carrots, and artichoke; bowl of fresh blueberries, raisins, and almonds; one glass white wine or mineral water. (Clearly, wine would never have been available to our ancestors, but the 85:15 rule allows you to consume three non-Paleo meals per week.)
