The Paleo Diet Made Simple
Did you ever stop to think that perhaps when it comes to nature and our bodies our ancient ancestors knew more than we do? And I don’t mean about the science of it all, I’m talking about the life experiences that not only shaped their lives but also those of generations to come.
People have a tendency to put things into boxes; "this is good", they say, or "this is bad". However, not many of them stop to think that what’s good for one person is not necessarily good for another, and what’s healthy for you is not actually healthy for me. It’s all about perceptions at the end of the day, and one of them dictates that avoiding eating some foods is good for you, while it could be the opposite.
My book comes to challenge some of these perceptions by explaining how a Paleo diet can prove useful to a modern person’s health. It gives the readers the full picture of its subject, offers advice, proposes training exercises, and tells them what they need to do to lose weight and regain their health, without sacrificing too much. "Return to the basics"; that’s my philosophy one could say. And I can guarantee that these basics can change your life for the better forever.
Typical Paleo breakfast foods:
Starting your day with meat on your plate rather than toast may seem strange at first but those who make the switch report feeling physically and mentally ready for the day ahead and no longer trapped in a cycle of bouncing from one sugary snack to another to keep them going until lunch. The following breakfast suggestions are only the very tip of the iceberg in terms of popular Paleo choices.
Typical Paleo Lunch Foods :
Once again, the following suggestions are simply a few ideas to get your mouth watering! The possibilities are virtually endless and limited only by your time restraints at lunchtime.
Soup – how about Thai chicken soup, vegetable gazpacho, or bacon and parsnip soup to
name just a few.
Frittata – made with sweet potato and ingredients of your choice; how about zucchini,
onion, or bacon and spinach to name just a few?
Salad – with everything from a crisp Waldorf salad to a duck and pomegranate salad,
there are hundreds of nutritious Paleo salad combinations. Hot salads with chicken or bacon are also delicious alternatives.
Typical Paleo evening meal foods:
The variety of meals that can be made quickly and easily using only Paleo foods is enormous, and you don’t need to be a gourmet chef to cook up delicious meals that suit every taste when you are using naturally flavorsome, fresh, and organic produce. Here a just a few examples:
Stir fries – how about spicy shrimp, chili beef, tomato, and egg, or chicken and pesto to name just a few?
Fish dishes – for example; baked salmon, grilled trout, crab cakes, or sardines wrapped in bacon. Curried dishes – for example; chicken, shrimp, beef, or cauliflower with bacon and cashew nut curry.
Stews – beef, pork, and chicken all make hearty stews, and how about a seafood stew, or lamb or venison?
Meat dishes – everything from shepherd’s pie made with sweet potatoes through steak and eggs to roast duck or chicken. There are literally hundreds of options!
Side dishes – vegetables fill the biggest portion of your Paleo plate but vegetable dishes need never be boring; how about roasted beets with walnut vinaigrette, spicy cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts with bacon?
And Paleo Desserts!
Eggs – fried in bacon fat or made into a nutritious omelet with herbs of your choice.
Bacon – served with eggs or in an omelet.
Pancakes – made with almond flour and served with fruit.
Fruit salad – made with berries when in season.
Fruit smoothie – made with coconut milk and fruits of your choice or add vegetables to kick start your day with a nutrient-packed green smoothie.

Classic Paleo Meals
Switching from a conventional diet to a Paleo diet often means changing the way you think about food, and the foods you "traditionally" eat at certain times of day in particular. For example, in many parts of the world, a traditional breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal with milk followed by a slice of toast with a sugary spread, and a traditional lunch might be a sandwich on the go or a pasta dish with crusty bread on the side. Going Paleo means breaking those habitual eating patterns and embracing a new approach to fuelling your body.Typical Paleo breakfast foods:
