The Paleo Diet - in a Nutshell While it has gained a sudden burst of popularity in recent years, the Paleo diet is not new far from it, in fact. No, the Paleo diet is not some newfound way of eating that some doctors and scientists have recently discovered, although plenty of them will say theyve done research supporting this diet. The Paleo diet is the way our human ancestors ate centuries ago, which is why you will sometimes see it referred to as the caveman diet. Its a diet that is based on the cavemans way of eating scouring the Earth for whatever food they can find, which includes meat, fish, and plant foods such as berries and seeds. Now, obviously, we have come a long way from those days, and dont need to hunt and kill our own meat (unless we want to, of course), and we have a wide variety of plant foods available a hop, skip and a jump away at our local supermarkets. In these ways, its not exactly the same style of eating.

What is similar is the types of foods. The Paleo diet is a diet full of high quality proteins. Grass fed beef, wild fish and seafood, free range and organic chicken and pork. It should not include poor quality meats that are pumped full of antibiotics, and it should not include processed foods of any kind, because lets face it, the animals that cavemen ate ran wild, and ate what they should have eaten, and I shouldnt have to tell you that they didnt eat Twinkies and Pop-Tarts. The best part about eating Paleo is that you are not hungry. Protein, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds are all healthy, nutritious and filling foods that will leave you feeling full.

Of course there are some things you should not eat, and some things that you should eat only in small amounts, but once you begin eating this way, youll notice that you dont need those bad foods to be satisfied. Youll find yourself feeling good, feeling full, and losing weight as well. So much so that youll wonder why you didnt start eating this way years ago. In my first book Paleo Cookbook : A Quick Guide With Deliciously Easy Recipes For Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Ive touched on the variety of foods you can and cant eat, as well as easy recipes that fit perfectly within this diet. This book lists the 10 best sources of macronutrients for a Paleo Diet. Macronutrients are primary components in our diet in the form of proteins, fats and carbohydrates that give the body energy to function properly.

So, if youre ready to learn more, then lets continue on your Paleo journey!

Almonds Health Benefits of Almonds Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats - they keep us healthy by lowering the bad cholesterol in our blood stream. They are also a great source of proteins, vitamins and minerals, which helps to prevent heart disease, gut disease and diabetes. Compared to other nuts, almonds have the highest amount of vitamin E, which keeps the skin healthy and helps prevent cancer. They are also a good source of fiber, which acts as an appetite suppressant and is a great help if you are looking to lose weight. Almonds and the Paleo Diet Almonds are fantastic because they are easy to carry around and are available throughout the year. They can be enjoyed in various forms - raw, organic or dry roasted almonds are best.

Almonds are great as a snack or topping and in pesto or stuffing. Grind almonds in a food processor as a substitute for breadcrumbs. Almond butter can be used as a spread and almond flour is an indispensable substitute for recipes calling for wheat flour. Unsweetened almond milk can be used as a substitute for dairy milk. Here are 3 ways you can enjoy almonds in your Paleo Diet:
Almond and Hazelnut Dukkah Dukkah is an Egyptian condiment, which is traditionally eaten as a dip together with olive oil. You can vary the ingredients according to your preference.

You can also coat fish, chicken or meat in dukkah before pan-frying or broiling. Makes 2 cups Total Prep Time: 15 minutes Ingredients 1 cup almonds 1 cup hazelnuts cup sesame seeds 2 tablespoons cumin seeds 2 tablespoons coriander seeds 1 tablespoon fennel seeds teaspoon ground chili pepper Sea salt and black pepper Directions Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Place nuts on a baking tray and roast for a few minutes - keep your eyes on them because they could burn in an instant. Remove from oven and transfer to a clean tea towel. Rub gently to remove skins from hazelnuts. Dry fry sesame seeds and spices in a frying pan until fragrant.

Mix in the nuts and transfer to a food processor. The mix needs to have a slightly coarse texture, so do not over process. Use immediately or store in an airtight container, it will keep for up to 2 months .
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Almonds Makes 4 servings Total Prep Time: 30 Minutes Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 slices nitrate-free bacon, chopped 2 shallots, finely chopped 1 pound/450 grams Brussels sprouts, trimmed Sea salt and black pepper 1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade 1 teaspoon lemon juice cup toasted slivered almonds Directions Cut the Brussels sprouts in half if they are too big. Heat oil in a pan over medium to high heat. Cook bacon till crisp, remove and drain on paper towels.

In the same pan, put in shallots and stir fry till soft. Put in Brussels sprouts and stir-fry for 1 minute. Season, add chicken stock and bring to boil. Cover and lower heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes - do not overcook the sprouts as this will make them taste bitter. Remove from heat, add in lemon juice and stir.

Sprinkle with toasted almonds.
Orange and Almond Cake Makes 12 servings Total Prep Time: 1.5 hours Ingredients 2 oranges 1 tablespoon butter, melted 3 pastured eggs cup raw honey or maple syrup 3 cups almond flour 1 teaspoon baking powder cup slivered almonds Directions Put oranges whole in a pot. Add enough water to cover and bring to boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for about 1 to 2 hours, until you can easily poke through the skins with a skewer. Remove oranges. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop and transfer to a food processor.

Process until smooth. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Grease a 9-inch/22 cm spring-form pan with butter and line with parchment paper. Break eggs into a mixing bowl together with the honey and beat till fluffy. Add in orange pulp, almond flour and baking powder. Beat till well combined.

Pour into pan, sprinkle with almonds and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. When you insert a skewer into the centre of the cake and it comes out clean, it's cooked. Remove and transfer to wire rack to cool. Serve with whipped coconut cream.
Apples Health Benefits of Apples Apples are packed with phytonutrients, also known as phytochemicals. Phytonutrients are a natural occurring chemical in plants that aid in the functioning of the body and protect it from disease.

Apples contain many antioxidants, especially vitamin C, which protects the cells in the body from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are organic molecules that cause damage at the cellular level which lead to ageing, macular degeneration, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Being high in fiber content, apples help to keep the digestive system healthy, control blood sugar and help to lower the bad cholesterol in the body. Fiber also makes you feel full for longer thereby making it great for weight loss. Apples and the Paleo Diet Apples make a great snack and are easy to carry around. They suppress appetite and sugar cravings.
