Paleo Lunch Options - Great Recipe Ideas

Paleo Diet:

Are you having a hard time finding some Paleo lunch options lately? With our on-the-go lifestyle, you might have a tough time finding foods to eat quickly. The best option is to prepare your lunch meals in advance and take them with you to work.

Paleo Lunch Options - Great Recipe Ideas

First, what exactly is the Paleo Diet? It's a diet based on eating the way people used to eat, a way that proved to be clean and healthy. There are no, if not very few signs of illness, disease and obesity from those times and that alone shows the health benefits of going Paleo. The Paleo diet revolves around ingredients such as meat that can be hunted or caught and that is preferably naturally fed. Also you can have fruit, seeds and nuts, eggs, vegetables, herbs and spices, oil, and flour. It may be hard for some people to transition because our bodies are so used to preservatives, artificial flavorings, sugar, glucose and other unnatural food, so start with changing one meal a day. Here are some Paleo Lunch Recipes you can enjoy.

Coconut Based Meat Curry - You have a choice of any meat that's considered Paleo with this dish. It is based on 1/2 a pound worth of meat. For the spice blend, you need:

• 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/8 teaspoon teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• pinch of salt and pepper
• Aside from that you'll need:
• 1 medium white onion, roughly chopped
• A bunch of garlic, chopped finely
• Jalapenos (you can skip these if you want)

In a pan, sauté onions, garlic and jalapenos in olive oil; after a few minutes add meat and spice powder and mix well. When the spice powder has been blended with the meat and the meat is half cooked (time depends on what meat you're cooking), add coconut milk and let the mixture come to a boil.

Spinach Chicken Salad with almonds, pears and Dried Raspberries - You'll need:

• A bag of baby spinach leaves
• 1 diced pear
• ½ cup of raw almonds
• ½ cup of dried raspberries
• 2 Chicken breasts cooked and cubed
• Pinch of salt and pepper

Simply toss all ingredients together and add some almond oil, and voila!

Paleo Roasted Chicken Breast - Buy 3 pounds of chicken, marinate with:

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper and coconut oil.

You can also add 1 red onion cut into quarters. Mix all ingredients well and roast in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes. Delicious and healthy!

Paleo Sautéed Chard, Golden Raisin and Pine Nut - You will need:

• 3 cups of properly washed and dried chard, sliced
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• finely chopped garlic (you can also grate the garlic for a more intense garlic taste)

First sauté the garlic and chard then remove from heat and in a bowl mix in all the other ingredients, simple and fast. There are so many more recipes that are easy to make and above all scrumptious!

Simple Paleo Ice Cream Recipe

Paleo Diet:

It's the festive season and watching relatives and friends gorge themselves on ice cream and tasty sweets can be painful when you're trying to stay healthy and stick to a rigid nutrition plan. I know as a follower of the paleo diet the hardest thing for me to adjust to was the lack of desserts and sweets for the paleo follower. However there is hope, by replacing regular milk with coconut milk and swapping the ultra heavy chocolate and sugar filling for natural fruits and nuts we can create gorgeous and equally delicious recipes for the paleo diet follower.

Simple Paleo Ice Cream Recipe

I got creative earlier and here's a simple tried and tested ice cream recipe to sate the sweet tooth of the Paleolithic patron. The trick with this is preparation and smoothness, as it's tricky at first to stop the eggs from scrambling, which completely ruins the dish. Make sure the temperature is warm enough to melt the ingredients but not too hot to make them curdle and boil, once you've got this right though you will never look back.

Ingredients:
* 400ml coconut milk
* 2 large eggs
* 3 tbsp honey
* 1/4 cup blueberries
* 1/2 cup processed strawberries
* 2 tsp cinnamon

How to make:
1. Place a heat proof bowl over a simmering pot of water. Make sure the bowl is wider than the pot so it sits on top comfortably and there is enough space under the bowl to ensure no part of it comes in direct contact with the water.

2. Place the strawberry, blueberry and honey into the bowl and heat until it's warmed through but ensure heat is low enough to prevent boiling.

3. Separately whisk the eggs. When they are thoroughly whisked slowly mix in a quarter of the wet mixture with a mixing spoon, slowly and delicately. Ensure the eggs don't scramble by maintaining a warm but not boiling temperature and constantly stirring with your spoon. Continue until all of the wet mix is mixed in and a thick creamy sauce is created.

4. Let the mixture cool off before placing into the fridge.

5. Place the mixture in a container and place in the freezer. Remove every 25 minutes for 2 and a half hours until you have a creamy ice cream.

This is a recipe that I love but it is easily customisable. Try varying the fruits in the mix and garnishing with nuts, cinnamon or any other flavours you fancy. Even sweeteners to help bring out the sharpness and taste.

Book Review of the Recipe For Living Without Disease by Aajonus Vonderplanitz

Paleo Diet:

Aajonus Vonderplanitz is known to be an eccentric healer who suggests a lot of raw meat, raw fat and some stinky raw rotten meats for healing. This book enlightens the reader about the science and the lengthy experience behind those recommendations. At the end of reading this book, you will want to experiment with the Primal Diet yourself.

Book Review of the Recipe For Living Without Disease by Aajonus Vonderplanitz

In volume 1, Aajonus begins by giving a colorful background of how he had learned about these things by experience in curing his own diseases and with that of his patients. He then moves on to explain the true causes of disease, toxicity and how to reverse it. Aajonus tweaks your curiousity on why you eat cooked food and processed food and the seemingly funny but often asked question is can we digest raw food? Then there are the questions of bacteria, sleep and bowel movements.

In volume 2, Aajonus explains about taste and explains more about the best raw foods and food combining for proper digestion and assimilation. Aajonus moves on to optimizing his raw food diet in a recipe for removing deep tissue toxicity, for weight loss, for travel and baby food. Next are the all important recipes, how to make them and what they are good at addressing which health conditions. Read, re-read, print out this section and have a bound copy in your kitchen.

In volume 3, Aajonus explains more about the science of nutrition, the cholesterol myth and why real raw food is better than processed supplements.

In volume 4, Aajonus exposes the wayward direction of modern western medicine, how their false concepts of disease, germs and parasites have brought detriment millions of people around the world.

This book belongs to your small library of must-read and must-keep books for reference. Aajonus' experiences as not just a long time raw foodist's but as a long time healer of many people is a treasure that must be documented and preserved. It is unfortunate that I found myself lactose intolerant and cannot consume raw dairy. But besides my intolerance to dairy, I find that the principles laid out by Aajonus are all solid.

The book The Recipe for Living Without Disease is Aajonus Vonderplanitz' second book after he wrote his first book, The Primal Diet: We Want to Live. It is available at http://storesonline.com/site/811618/page/1840437
