High Fat Raw Paleo Diet to Lose Weight - Gain Health and Gain Beauty

Paleo Diet:

A high fat raw paleolithic diet is the hardest diet to get into because of cultural conditioning against eating raw meat, against consumption of large amounts of fat and having to give up your favorite starches. The results of your efforts will be the most rewarding as you gain health and beauty at the same time, losing weight merely becomes a secondary issue and is guaranteed to lead to an ideal set weight.

High Fat Raw Paleo Diet to Lose Weight - Gain Health and Gain Beauty

From fossil records, a raw paleolithic diet can be seen as the original human diet even before cooking started, one could infer that this is the original diet of humans. Raw paleo diet is composed of these foods:

(1) Animal meat with their organs including prized fatty parts like back fat, bone marrow and brains; these could be aquatic or land based animals.

(2) Then there are ripe or unripe fruit.

(3) Then there are edible when raw vegetables.

The theory is, nature cannot possibly be wrong. Going back to the original, natural fuel for humans and humans are transformed into the naturally self repairing healthy, beautiful, athletic beings we were meant to be.

Raw fat is the preferred fuel of the body which is concentrated and gives steady clean energy, avoiding the sugar highs and lows in high carbohydrate diet. Raw fat is cleansing and lubricating at the same time.

Raw proteins are the preferred form of protein by the body as this is natural, clean, pure and muscle building, even without gym exercises you can maintain a lean muscular physique.

A small amount of carbohydrates in hydrating fruit and vegetables gives you extra vitamins and minerals.

Multivitamins are usually raw organs like raw liver, kidneys and other internal organs from such animals as oysters and small fish you eat whole.

When you begin a high fat raw paleo diet, you may get an initial detox phase for a few days, but on the first month you should be on your way to feel an enormous healthy feeling that only gets better and better. In many more months you will notice you may have stopped getting sick. After about a year, friends and family who you may not have seen for a long time will comment how beautiful you have become and will ask you, no plead with you to tell them what your secret is.

A high fat raw paleo diet involves consuming a majority raw animal foods diet with fruits and vegetables playing a smaller but important part of the diet.

Paleo Food List

Paleo Diet:

The Paleo Diet (also known as the Caveman Diet) is pretty strict on what foods you should and shouldn't eat.

Paleo Food List

The diet is based on the premise that we should eat as our ancestors ate before the advent of agriculture.

Humans have been evolving for millions of years, but have only had approximately 10,000 years to adjust to the influx of grain, dairy, and legumes in our diet. The rising problem of gluten, dairy, and peanut allergies is an indicator that our bodies are not supposed to be ingesting these foods.

The main idea of these foods are: If you can't pick it from a bush or tree, you shouldn't eat it. If you can't pull it out of the ground, you shouldn't eat it. If you can't hunt it with a spear, you shouldn't eat it.

So what are some of the things recommended to eat? This list is by no means complete, but shows that there is no shortage of different types of food available on the Paleo Diet.

Paleo Diet - Getting The Back to the Healthy Basics

Paleo Diet:

For thousands of years our ancestors in every continent on the planet found all of the nutrients their bodies had evolved to require in the things in nature that surrounded them. In this Paleolithic period of our history, they thrived and were very healthy. In most cases their brains were larger than ours, they were generally taller than we are, and they were far more physically fit than most non-athletes are today.

Paleo Diet - Getting The Back to the Healthy Basics

Most scientists agree that the diet that fueled their health and vitality was quite different from that of most modern westerners, although genetically we remain 99.99% identical to them. Around one-third of the food they ate was wild game they hunted and fish, and the two-thirds balance was derived from berries, seeds, fruits, melons, nuts, bulbs, stalks, roots, leaves, and flowers that they gathered. Meat and fish gave them the essential fatty acids and protein, and meat made up about 65% of their energy intake.

The domesticated, grain fed cattle we eat today is quite different from the wild game our ancestors ate, in that domestic cattle average around 30% total fat, in place of the less than 10% total fat average of wild game. In addition, domestic meat from grain fed animals contains mostly saturated fats, rather than the higher percentage of polyunsaturated fats found in wild game. This means that we now have four times less omega-3 fatty acids than our hunter gatherer ancestors had, and about one and a half times less monounsaturated fat. The human body needs a certain amount and quality of fat for certain processes. Vitamins A, D, E, and K, for instance, cannot be absorbed without it.

Nuts and seeds added other oils and essential fatty acids to our Paleo ancestors diet, and berries and fresh fruits gave them complex carbohydrates and other nutrients. A large part of their diet consisted of gathered vegetables and plants - leaves, flowers, stalks, bulbs, and roots. These were all consumed fresh and raw, which gave them the most benefit from the nutrient rich content and greatly benefited their immune systems.

Grains and small seeds, while they were around, were never ground into powder and cooked for consumption during this Stone Age period. That came only with the advent of agriculture and the domestication of animals, two of the most prominent things that marked the beginning of the Neolithic period. These things also began our journey into the mechanized processing of grains and other foods, the addition of pasteurized dairy products into our diet, and our exorbitant intake of sugar and simple carbohydrates. Ultimately, these factors, among others, are what have pushed modern humans toward heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, celiac disease, obesity, and many other "civilized" ailments.

At the end of the day one thing is certain, the diet of our Paleolithic ancestors is still the diet that is best suited for our metabolisms today. We thrived for countless centuries consuming only the things that were naturally available, and our bodies needs for maintaining health and vitality remain the same.

A Diet Review

Paleo Diet:

There are so many differing views on diets and the best way to lose weight that it is extremely confusing for many people. This article is an attempt to put the record straight regarding some popular myths about certain diets and to give a comparison of the merits of some of the more popular ones.

A Diet Review

The first major argument in dieting is low carbohydrates (carbs) versus low fats Which is the best route to follow ? After the second world war people generally began to be gradually better off financially and were able to buy more food and a greater variety of food. As time progressed it seemed that many people in the western world were getting too fat for their own good and people looked for ways to reduce their weight. It seemed perfectly reasonable to many that eating too much fat was the cause of storing fat in the body and hence of putting on weight. This view was adhered to for many years and there were a lot of diets recommending cutting down your consumption of fats. Rosemary Conley's diet ideas were based largely on this premise after her own success with weight loss by cutting out fat for medical reasons. Many people have loss weight this way but it may well be that part of their success is due to their cutting down total food intake and not just changing the relative amounts of fat or carbohydrates in their diet. Cutting down on total calorie input is generally agreed to be appropriate for many people these days, and coupled with some increase in exercise, a factor stressed by Rosemary Conley, will certainly help achieve weight loss.

The general idea of reducing fat in the diet was challenged of course by Dr Atkins who saw evidence of people on a relatively high fat but low carb diet being able to lose weight. This diet became very popular for a while but was then criticised by some as being unhealthy and then lost favour. The reason it was criticised seems to be based on some misunderstanding of metabolism. When the body changes from what we know as a normal diet ( this is in fact a relatively high carb diet) to a low carb/high fat diet the body's metabolism undergoes changes to deal with this. The fact is that the body is quite capable of using fat as an energy source instead of carbohydrate without suffering any ill effects. Populations of Eskimos managed to stay energetic and healthy over many generations on a diet consisting of mainly seal and whale meat and blubber.

When little carbohydrate is consumed the body's metabolism gradually alters to allow for fat to be converted, producing ketone bodies and energy for use by the body. This causes a ketosis, i.e. a raised blood level of ketones, the excess of which is converted to acetone and excreted from the body in the breath and urine. There is no evidence that this type of metabolism leads to muscle loss as some have suggested. The muscle tissue of the body is not affected. There is simply a change to a slightly alternative metabolic pathway taking place. The body is able to synthesize glucose for use by brain and red blood cells.

If you are going to lose weight you will need almost certainly to reduce your calorie input one way or another and it probably does not matter too much if you reduce fat intake or carbohydrate intake or both, so long as your diet is reasonably varied to make sure you get all necessary nutrients. A certain amount of fat is required by the body for normal function, and, some vitamins and minerals are fat soluble and need fat to be ingested for their transport.

Carbohydrates, on the other hand are a lot less necessary, and some might say not necessary at all, at least not in refined form. Refined carbohydrates are notorious for causing rapid blood sugar spikes that can put a strain on the body's insulin/glucose regulatory system. If you are going to eat some carbohydrate as most of us do, then it's best to eat it in the from of natural foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and beans, rather than processed foods.

So, what diets are available today? Amongst the many there are the following and I'll make brief comments about each:

Low fat diets such as Rosemary Conley Reasonable in that it encourages the consumption of healthy foods such as lean meat and fish, fruit and vegetables, wholemeal bread and some dairy products whilst disallowing unhealthy foods such as cakes, biscuits, fried chips and pies. It might not actually lose you weight unless you confine yourself to sensible portions and take plenty of exercise.

Atkins Diet Again this approach is perfectly reasonable and works for many. You can eat a lot of different foods that might be thought fatty, but it's still best to eat healthy fats, rather more fish and nuts than meat, and you still need to eat fruit and vegetables, which although carbohydrate based, are good carbs full of fibre and nutrients.

The South Beach Diet. This is a sensible diet which favours low fat and low carbohydrate intake. It advocates the natural approach to eating, avoiding too much in the way of processed foods. It might be alittle too restrictive for some on a long term basis.

The Paleo or Caveman Diet This focusses on natural foods also, - fish, vegetables, lean meat, roots and nuts. It does not allow consumption of salt, refined sugars, dairy products, grains or oils. This again, although healthy enough is much too restrictive for most.

Fat Loss For Idiots This diet plan although popular does not seem to adequately explain how weight loss is to be achieved. It talks about "calorie shifting" which "tricks" the body to burn fat. Substituting one type of calorie food for another does not seem in itself sufficient to alter the body's metabolism as far as I can see. The body will consume calories in whatever form they are presented. A calorie reduction is necessary to lose weight.

The Zone Diet This is a balanced nutrition approach that supposedly controls the hormones in your body, and keeps them within the "Zone". It's a sensible diet that encourages eating plenty of fish and fish oils to get the important omega 3s, together with a balanced diet of about 40% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 30% protein. This is a perfectly good diet for anyone but probably needs to be combined with exercise to actually lose significant weight.

Strip That Fat This diet plan does its best to rubbish all the fad diets and the weight loss gimmicks. It points out that unrealistic goals and unsustainable diets are the reason that most people fail to lose weight. This is a sensible plan based on sound principles and includes an ongoing program. It centres around good nutrition and healthy eating habits, showing what's good to eat and what is not.. It is not an extreme low fat or low carbohydrate diet, and as such is suitable for virtually anybody and therefore recommended.

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.

Paleo Diet:

It is no longer a surprise that more people nowadays are looking to change their eating habits in order to achieve optimal health. It is possible that you, among many others, are becoming more educated about the types of foods that must be consumed to make your body perform to its maximum.

The Fundamentals of Paleo Books

A lot of people are also concerned about life longevity. People wish that they could live as many years possible. Luckily, they realize that this can only be made possible if they start improving their lifestyles and eventually, their diet. This is the reason why a lot are looking for an efficient diet plan to help them achieve their goals.

There is a multitude of books available in the market - both offline and online - that can educate you and at the same time, provide you with a detailed set of instructions and tips on how you can pursue with the diet. If you wish to learn more about the Paleo diet or the caveman diet - the diet with which the ancient humans lived by - then you should look for Paleo books.

Basically, Paleo books are based around the Paleo diet. This diet takes from the way the humans of the Paleolithic era ate. It is assumed that the cavemen ate foods that are widely available in the market today, only that there are some apparent differences.

To start off, the Paleolithic men did not know how to process food back then. They did not even know how to farm or to milk animals. Thus, there is no place for packaged, processed and refrigerated or frozen foods. Chemicals and other substances, such as preservatives, were also not available then. The cavemen had to hunt and gather their food. For you to learn about the diet and the foods allowed in it, a Paleo book can definitely give you a detailed account.

There were no grocery stores back in the Paleolithic era. This means that most of the items found in grocery stores are not encouraged in the diet. This may make you wonder what is still left in the diet. There is plenty, actually. The cavemen ate freshly hunted meat from wild games, fish, seafood, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. In today's setting, you would need to shop for lean meat cuts; a lot of fresh (preferably organic) fruits and vegetables; fish and seafood; unsalted nuts and vegetable oils. Paleo books provide a more detailed list of the foods that you can buy and consume while you are on the Paleo diet. A Paleo book will also list down those that you cannot eat such as cereals, grains and dairies along with other processed and secondary food sources.

Paleo books also include delicious recipes that can make your Paleo diet not only a success but a delicious and enjoyable one. It will also give you ideas on how you can prepare and plan your meals daily, weekly and monthly.

Three Things You Need to Know to Be Successful in the Paleo Diet

Paleo Diet:

Are you thinking about starting the Paleo diet? If so, you need to be aware of the three common pitfalls that new Paleo dieters make when undertaking this diet. These are: not realizing their calorie intake, eating too much fat, and not taking enough protein. By committing these mistakes, people will actually gain weight instead of losing it.

Three Things You Need to Know to Be Successful in the Paleo Diet

Not eating enough protein

Since the Paleo diet is another variation of a low-carb diet, you need to make sure that you're in taking enough calories to make up for the loss of carbohydrates. If you don't take enough calories, you will become tired, sick, and moody.

To combat this, the individual should be aware of the amount of excess protein that they need to intake each day so that they are reaching their required daily needs.

Eating too much fat

The second biggest mistake of newbies make is the amount of fat they are eating each day. Due to the fact that you're eating a lot of protein, people may feel very very hungry quickly. To fix this, they tell you to intake more fat into your diet. Unfortunately, each gram of fat is equal to 9 calories. So, by eating a bag of nuts, or other fat sources you could be reaching your calorie intake for the day.

Calorie intake

To lose weight with any diet program it's all about the calories that you intake. The Paleo diet is not an exception to this rule. In fact, if you eat more calories than what you are burning each day you will gain weight.. If your eating high-protein breakfasts, lunches, and dinner you may be exceeding the amount of calories you need. Remember, it's not about the type of macronutrient that you're eating, it's about how many calories that you are taking each day.

Knowing that a calorie isn`t just a calorie will separate you from being successful on the Paleo diet, and not. So watch the amount of fat that you intake as it`s double the amount of a calorie that protein and carbohydrates are.

Now that you know the three pitfalls that people go through when starting the Paleo diet, you will have a better chance of success by knowing these three tips. Failure of not following one of these tips will lead to less than desirable results. So remember choose enough proteins, don't intake much fat, and watched the amount of calories that you intake each day.
