Welcome to The Paleo Instant Pot Cookbook for Beginners ! This book is your guide to enjoying delicious and healing Paleo foods at the touch of a button with your Instant Pot. Are you new to the Paleo diet? Do you have an Instant Pot still sitting in its box, unopened? Whether youre a total newbie or a seasoned pro, this book will have you dining on mouthwatering Paleo Instant Pot meals in no time at all.
For as long as humans have roamed this earth, we have been eating a Paleo diet. It is only very recently that grains, beans, dairy, and liquid oils have become a part of our regular diets. Rather, weve survived and thrived off meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and eggs. This is the diet that has nourished humans for the vast majority of the time we have been here on Earth; its no wonder that these are the very foods that optimize our health.
While giving up grains, sugar, and dairy may sound impossible, we assure you that its not hard. In fact, its probably a lot easier than what youve been doing previously. Youll quickly realize that eating Paleo is far from another boring, bland, restrictive diet. Having more energy and feeling your best will help keep you motivated as well!
As Paleo nutritionists, weve helped thousands of individuals across the globe transform their health, and on a personal level, weve both experienced how life-changing eating Paleo can be. After following a vegetarian diet for nearly 25 years, Kinsey was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, hypothyroidism, and alopecia. By transitioning from vegetarian to Paleo, she used food as her medicine to reverse her autoimmunity and keep it in remission. By rejecting the standard dietary advice and adopting a Paleo diet and lifestyle, Sally lost unwanted pounds that had been creeping up over the years and resolved two decades of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), periodontitis, and other debilitating inflammatory conditions. We know firsthand the power of Paleo, and we cant wait for you to experience it too!
But those incredible results came at a price. We spent hours in the kitchen, day after day, which was exhausting and threatened our ability to stay the Paleo course. As working full-time moms, we didnt have the time or energy to spend all day cooking. When the Instant Pot made its debut in 2010, we hopped on board and are so glad we did! The Instant Pot drastically cut down our cooking time and made it so much easier to stick to Paleo. Combining modern tools such as the Instant Pot with an ancestral way of eating is truly a winning combination for lifelong health.
Were so excited for you to discover how it feels to fuel your body with the foods that nature intended, and to be empowered by cooking meats, veggies, and so much more in your Instant Pot. will give you the confidence you need to use the Instant Pot for almost any meal. The remainder of the book includes 75 delicious Paleo Instant Pot recipes that are easy to prepare and extremely satisfying.
Are you ready to jump-start your weight loss and achieve optimal health? Youll be there faster than you can imagine! We cant wait to take this journey with you, one delicious bite at a time.
In good health,
Kinsey Jackson, MS, CNS, CFMP
