EATING ON THE PALEO PLAN


 
Once you know the different kinds of foods allowed on the diet, it’s quite easy to prepare and stick to the diet.

On the Plan, you abstain from eating processed and refined foods that are huge parts of our modern day diet. Instead of eating grains, dairy and vegetable oils, your diet is focused on Protein from meat, fish, chicken, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, healthy nuts and seeds, coconut oil and olive oil.

Breakfast should no longer consist of your regular traditional cereals, oatmeal or toast, rather eggs, bacon, lean meats, avocado, spinach, broccoli etc. If you do crave some cereal, make a natural one from chopped bananas, grated coconut flesh, apples, sprinkle some nuts on it and drink with almond milk or coconut milk. You can use honey to sweeten.

Lunch is usually a salad made from vegetables and you can prepare your salads ahead of time. Don’t forget to add your proteins. You can add some ham, bacon, nuts for extra flavor and use vinegar and olive oil with black pepper and sea salt for more flavor. Lemon juice is also good.

For dinner, a steak with a little sweet potatoe or boiled plantain or a salad is good enough and if you are craving some dessert have some sweet fruit such as pineapple or ripe pawpaw!

Snacks are also allowed to keep your energy levels between meals.

The key foundation of your meals though are Protein, vegetables, fruits and nuts with some olive oil or coconut oil.
