The word diet is like saying Voldemorts name in Harry Potter... none of us want to hear the word but who says we have to follow a diet to lose weight and be healthy?? I say we just eat healthy and in my opinion that isn't very hard at all but maybe that is because I'm wheat and gluten intolerant but then again I do crave for yummy and delicious looking things like everyone else.
Anyways... My new way of eating healthy is following a few of the Paleo diets guidelines... so I have cut out grains but I haven't gone full blown Paleo so I still have sugar, dairy and peanut butter but just by cutting out grains I have a ton more energy and I feel a lot healthier because I have far more energy. I would like to go complete Paleo but I believe in easing into things and not just jumping into the deep end.
So if you would like to know a bit more about Paleo to try out and see what benefits it has for you here are some of the basic guidelines:
Basically avoid grains, legumes, dairy, preservatives and refined sugars. Oh and processed food...if it has a nice long shelf life it is for sure a big no!
You can have all kinds of meat, fish and seafood's, eggs, loads of veggies and fruit and then some nuts and seeds.
So the Paleo diet I don't see as a diet, I see it as healthy eating and even though I don't do it properly I am feeling the benefits without a doubt.
A yummy breakfast recipe to try is pancakes...actually they are more like flapjack goodies.
Your ingredients are:
1 Banana
1 egg
Pinch of salt
If you want to make double the recipe then it is obviously 2 bananas, 2 eggs and pinch of salt.
How to make it:
Beat the egg and mash the banana and then add the salt and mix it well. You could actually even add some cinnamon.
Use coconut oil for your frying and scoop out spoons into the pan and fry.
These are super quick to make and they actually taste very good!!
A definite MUST TRY!!
