Paleo Diet Recipes: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On first impression you may be thinking that, like most diets, the Paleo diet is going to be too restricting/complicated and mealtimes could become an 'issue'. Not in the least! Do not even consider for a moment that Paleo diet meals and recipes are going to be boring, complicated or lack in variety. Paleo diet recipes result in wholesome flavoursome meals.

Protein plays a vital role in Paleo diet and meals should consist of approximately 60% to 70% percent of your daily food intake. The balance of course being fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds with additional oils used in preparation of the meals such as avocado oil, nut oils etc.

NO GRAIN OR DAIRY IS TO BE CONSUMED

Remember shop fresh, organic, natural and wild. To be totally Paleo, eat seasonal as well - this of course being carbon footprint friendly.

Lunch and dinner Paleo diet recipes and meals can be adjusted according to your own personal lifestyle and requirements. To start out take your usual recipes and merely substitute the 'cannot have' with a 'can have' - you will be amazed how quickly you adjust and how capable you are of making your own Paleo diet recipes.

Some ideas for your three main Paleo diet meals for the day:

Breakfast:

  1. 2 Poached eggs on a bed of lightly panned spinach
  2. Bowl of mixed berries with nuts and cashew cream
  3. A 2 egg omelette with filling of your choice eg - no dairy though
  4. Chicken liver and bacon with grilled tomato.
  5. Fruit smoothy of choice eg banana and nut; berries and fresh coconut blended with ice cubes.
  6. Steamed/grilled fish with grilled tomato and mushroom.
  7. Absolutely nothing wrong with having the leftovers from dinner the night before.

Lunch and Dinners

These can be adjusted according to your daily routine.

  1. Mushroom burger with salad
  2. Roast chicken, vegetables and salad
  3. Meat and vegetable kebab with broccoli and walnut salad
  4. Bolognaise - made with zucchini spaghetti
  5. Prawn, avocado and fresh asparagus salad
  6. Wholesome chunky soup.
  7. Steak, vegetable bake and salad.

Sauces/Dressings

Salads and vegetables can be enhanced with various sauces and dressings eg any easy to make dressing of the combination of honey, lemon juice, seasoning and fresh, finely chopped herbs of choice. Paleo tartar sauce made from Paleo mayonnaise can be added to seafood, be it fish, shellfish or crustacean. A basic Paleo diet recipe for mayo is as follows:

3 - 5 Garlic cloves peeled (large)

Approximately 2 cups of organic olive oil

2 room temperature, lightly beaten free range egg yolks,

juice of 1 organic lemon

small quantity of lukewarm waster

Crush garlic cloves into a paste and add to the lightly beaten egg yolks. Lightly beat with wooden spoon until the mixture turns pale yellow.

While blending the garlic and egg yolk very slowly (drop by drop) add 3 tablespoons of the olive.

Blend gently until the mixture is thick and creamy then add ½ to 1 tablespoon of water and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice.

Continue stirring while adding the olive oil in a very fine stream. If the mixture becomes too thick once again add 1 teaspoon of water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Continue like this until all the oil is used.

Always mix by stirring in one direction only.

Should the mixture split - put it over into a clean bowl and add a teaspoon of lukewarm water and mix continue like this until fixed.

Most important have fun inventing your very own Pale Diet recipes and meals.

Paleo Recipes for the Paleolithic Diet

,
Paleo Salad :

There are many Paleo recipes to be found for health conscious people who have discovered, or rediscovered their health by sticking to the Paleolithic diet. This new - or should I say old - way of eating consists of a diet that is proven throughout human genetic evolution.

Paleo Recipes for the Paleolithic Diet

The Paleolithic diet is primarily made up of lean meats, seafood, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables. These are all natural foods that our ancestors thrived on for many centuries. Every one of the essential dietary needs is present in these foods: vitamins, fats, protein, carbohydrates, antioxidants, and phytosterols - all of which lead to an ideal weight, optimum health, and peak athletic performance.

Followers of the Paleolithic diet using Paleolithic recipes are naturally lean, have acne-free skin, have improved athleticism, and tend not to experience metabolic-related and autoimmune diseases.
Some of the essentials for following Paleo recipes include:

• Eliminate grains (including bread and pasta), beans (string beans, kidney beans, lentils, peanuts, snow-peas, and peas), potatoes, dairy products, sugar, and salt from your diet.
• Eat meat (chicken and fish), eggs, fruit, vegetables (root vegetables), nuts (walnuts, Brazil nuts, and almonds), berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc).
• Increase your intake of root vegetables (carrots, turnips, and rutabagas), and organ meat (liver and kidneys).

When you start eating foods that are listed in the Paleo recipes, you should keep in mind that it will take time for your body to adjust to your new diet. Start slow and work your way up to an exclusive Paleo diet - one that incorporates all meals.

There are many Paleolithic recipes and Paleo cooking tips to help you get a good variety of meals and food types into your diet. You can find anything from simple meal recipes to sophisticated meals that you would be proud to serve to guests.

Some suggestions for Paleo recipes are:

• Take a piece of meat, cook it in the oven, a pan, or a crock pot, and serve it with a side of roasted or steamed vegetables.
• Add soups, salads, stews, omelets, curries, or sauces to a meal that includes a roast that was cooked with herbs and spices.
• Make your own stock, mayonnaise, pâté, salsa, and butter.
• Add to your meal preparations foods such as bone marrow, squid, venison, liver pâté, tongue, heart, sauerkraut, and coconut.

The many Paleolithic recipes are available online and in books. You'll never be at a loss for recipe ideas.

Discover Healthy Recipes - Eating the Caveman Way

,
Paleo Salad :

The Paleo Recipe books are changing people's lives everyday just by going back to eating the way our Cavemen ancestors did. Humans have been eating off the land since the beginning of our existence. Eating natural foods from the earth.

Discover Healthy Recipes - Eating the Caveman Way

The Paleolithic diet, otherwise known as the ancestral human diet is not new, in fact, it's the way our ancestors ate for thousands of years before the development of agriculture. The Paleo Recipe books are based on "Paleolithic eating" or "hunter-gatherer eating". The nutritional plan consists mostly of wild plants, vegetables, fruits, fish, roots, nuts and grass-fed pasture raised meats. Because a Paleolithic diet stems from the Paleolithic Age, before the dawn of agriculture, foods such as legumes, grains, dairy, salt, refined sugar and processed foods are not included on the menu.

It wasn't until up to 10,000 years ago during the Neolithic Revolution (the first agricultural revolution) humans began eating foods such as beans, cereals and dairy products. During the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th to early 19th centuries, refined foods, oils, and processed foods were introduced. Since the Industrial Revolution, our food consumption has changed from earth based, natural to processed and canned.

Because of these dietary changes, it has been theorized that by consuming refined foods, sugars and oils, has contributed to the cause for diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases and others. In later years, with humans developing more and more of these diseases, researchers have gone back to the drawing board.

We have found that eating natural foods from the land can help you increase energy levels, lose weight, increase your sex drive, improve skin tone, but most importantly, natural foods are a way to prevent the diseases often caused by eating refined and processed foods.

Today, people are more health conscience than ever before. Thus, changing their lives and health by eating more natural foods; foods the human body was designed to consume.

The Paleo Recipe books have grown much more in popularity due to the demand for healthier recipes. For people who want to follow the Paleolithic lifestyle, The Paleo Recipe books contain all the tools necessary to do it. Create simple, tasty recipes your body will crave.

The recipes are given with clear step by step instructions that allow you to create quick, easy meals. The recipe books also include hundreds of easy healthy recipes and the tools to create those fast, simple, delicious dishes.

There are 8 recipe categories to choose from such as snacks, meat, chicken, fish and seafood, soups, salads, omelets and desserts. Easily change your eating habits without having to worry about lengthy preparation.
