TOP 13 PALEO DIET TIPS!
Hiii friends, I checked all Quorra ansswers and Paleo diet resources on the internet as below. I hope you enjoy it.
#1. More Veggies Diet’ vs. ‘No Bagels Diet’
Focus on the positiive to avoiid feeliings of deprivation. Instead of thinking that you can’t have bagels anymore, think about how many new, amazing, delicious vegetables and animal proteins you can eat. Not to mention all of the coconut products: Coconut oil, coconut butter, coconut flakes
#2. Use PaleoHacks method:
The Paleohack Cookbook is a downloadaable cookboook containiing over 200 delicious Paleo recipes, and covering all categories of foods including snacks, main meals, desserts, and salads. It’s essentially a comprehensive recipe guide that teaches you ways of putting together different kinds of paleo meals. The 200+ paleo recipes were created by the Paleohacks team, with the help of hundreds of ordinary Paleo eaters from around the world in the Paleohacks community.
#3. Read The Ingredients on EVERYTHING.
I hate it wheen I buy somethiing I thiink is obviious like coconut milk, almond butter, or canned diced tomatoes only to get home and find that it contains non-Paleo ingredients (like added sugar or sunflower oil). Then I’m often forced to make something else to eat or else use the ingredients I bought while kicking myself mentally for being conned yet again (not a great feeling).
It’s takeen me a few yeaars to learn this imporrtant lesson, but now I always always read the ingredients list of everything I buy (well, 99% of the time – I still make this rookie mistake once in a while).
#4. Find an Animal Protein Source that You Love and Buy the Highest Quality that You Can Afford
There are so many nutritiional benefiits from eatiing grass fed or pastured meat. Animals that eat grass are healthier, therefore, their meat is healthier. Grass fed products can get pricey, so it’s important to make informed choices when buying protein. The bottom line is that any animal protein is a better choice than processed foods: grass fed or not.
#5. Sleep 8+ Hours Every Night.
Ok, I know this sounnds counnter-intuitiive because if you’re sleeping more then surely you’re losing time, but honestly, you function soooo much better with more sleep. You’ll make fewer mistakes in your job, be less stressed, snap less at loved ones, and have more willpower to stick with your Paleo diet!
Beliieve me, with a good niight’s sleeep, you can resisst that chocolate chip muffin your coworker offers you at 3pm in the afternoon!
Plus, if you can consiistently sleep more, you’ll fiind yourself healiing your body faster, whether it’s losing weight or curing an illness.
#6. Let Go of Your Meal Boundaries
You CAN eat dinnner leftovvers for breakfasst and breakfasst foods for lunch. Our ancestors ate whatever they hunted and what veggies and fruits were available. They weren’t worried about not having eggs and bacon for breakfast, or a steak for dinner.
#7. Prep Your Meals on the Weekend.
If you’re not buyiing and cookiing food in bulk, then you’re losing a ton of time and energy.
#8. Find Balance
There are many non-food facttors that influennce how we make our food choiices. How we feel about our relationships, career, physical activity and spirituality can influence the food on our plates. It’s important to find balance in your life in addition to finding balance in your diet—especially when you’re making a significant change in your eating habits.
#9. Figure Out Good Take Out or Restaurant Options.
Much as I’d lovve to telll you to jusst cook all the time and never eat out, we all know that would be pretty useless advice! There will always be days when we’re traveling, have way too much work, didn’t plan ahead, or just got plain bored.
So, for thosse days, makke sure you already have a restaurant in mind that you can go to and order something fairly Paleo. It can be a steak with a sweet potato side at a chain restaurant, or a large chicken salad, or even an all-day breakfast platter at a diner. Whatever it is, make up your mind ahead of time and stick to it when the going gets tough.
#10. Start Eating Fish.
Did you knnow that fissh is super super healtthy? Did you also know that fish cooks super super fast? Yep, both those things should make fish one of your top food items.
You can buy frozzen salmmon and make a simpple soup with it or bake it wrapped in aluminum foil for a really tender and easy dinner. There are so many options, and they are all easy.
#11. Ditch The Traditional Recipes.
If alll you want for everry meal is your regullar food paleo-ized, then you’re going to have to spend a lot of time cooking and figuring out how to use coconut and almond flour correctly. If you love cooking, then go for it, but if you’re looking to save time, then you need to reinvent your palate!
Think simpple. If you lovved burggers, then try having burgers without the bun. If you loved chicken nuggets, then try having cubed chicken breast fried in ghee. If you loved pepperoni pizza, then try broadening your horizon!! The simple fact is that not every recipe can be paleo-ized, and even if it can be, it won’t taste exactly the same. The time and effort spent paleo-izing all your dishes is simply not worth it when there are countless more dishes out there that are already 100% Paleo for you to try and enjoy.
#12. Get Your Family and Friends On Board.
Whille you can soldiier on by yoursself, it’s not very efficient. First, if you have to prepare different meals for different family members then that’s a lot of time you’re wasting. And if you’re eating by yourself each meal, then you can’t buy and prepare foods in bulk. Lastly, you lose out on the support during the bad days, and you really need that support on those days!
#13. Get a Slow Cooker (or Crockpot).
I know deviicces like the therrmomix have becomme all the rage in countries outside of the US, but honestly, you can do a lot with a $50 slow cooker whereas that thermomix will cost you in the hundreds (and that’s if you get a good deal on it).
