Why Paleo has (rightly) taken the world by storm

While advances in science, technology and many other spheres have obviously had amazing impacts on modern life, the same cant be said for diet. Unfortunately, the more we seem to develop, the worse our diet has become.

The basis of the Paleo diet is that human beings had a much healthier diet thousands of years ago in the Paleolithic or Stone Age. At that time, people were hunters and gatherers, and they didnt yet have farming systems or complex food processing. Food was wild and natural, and people ate what they could find or catch.

In recent years there has been growing recognition that this primal way of eating was much healthier. As a result, many people are turning away from modern processed foods and going back to a more natural diet based on what we ate 15,000 years ago. Following the Paleo diet is said to lower the risk of modern diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and heart disease, as well as guard against nutritional deficiencies. With all these benefits and more, its no wonder the Paleo diet is growing in popularity each day.

Foods to Eat

Now I know some of you are seasoned Paleo fans, but lets just quickly run through the basis of the diet again for the newbies.

The Paleo diet is based on meat, fish, seafood, eggs, fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Here is a basic list of what you should eat:

  1. All meat, including beef, pork, lamb, goat, rabbit and practically anything else you can think of
  2. All poultry, including chicken, turkey and game birds
  3. All fish, seafood and shellfish
  4. All eggs
  5. Bacon and other salt-cured meats, providing theyre preservative-free and nitrate-free. Think natural.
  6. Natural, pure oils including: coconut oil, olive oil and avocado oil
  7. All nuts and seeds (remember peanuts are a legume, so theyre not included!)
  8. Almond milk and almond butter, as well as other similar nut products
  9. Almond and coconut flours
  10. Coconut cream
  11. All fruits and berries
  12. Vegetables (excluding pota toes)
  13. Sea salt
  14. Honey and maple syrup in moderation

As you can see, t here are plenty of delicious things to enjoy on the Paleo diet!

Foods to Avoid

Because the Paleo diet goes back to before farming, all grains and dairy products are out; Paleolithic people simply didnt have wheat fields or rice paddies, nor did they tend cows or any other type of animal. For the same reason, pulses are out, which includes beans, lentils, peanuts and related products like tofu. Our ancestors also didnt have complex processing techniques, so no refined sugar.

In general, if its refined or processed, its out. Some foods to avoid include:

  1. Processed meats, including hotdogs, luncheon meats and similar
  2. Grains, including: wheat, rice, oats and barley
  3. P roducts made from grains, such as conventional breads, pastries and cakes
  4. P ulses, including: lentils, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, black-eyed peas and peanuts (including peanut butter)
  5. Dairy products, including: milk, yoghurt, cream , ice-cream and cheese
  6. Soda
  7. Store-bought juices
  8. Tofu, miso paste, soy sauce , soy milk and other soy products
  9. Candy
  10. Refined sugar

Now that weve got all that out of the way, lets get down to the fun part the recipes!

Savory Treats
Spicy Chicken Meatballs with Almond Dipping Sauce

Makes around 20 tasty treats

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup coconut flour

5 green onions, sliced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

2 eggs, beaten

For the sauce

1/4 cup almond butter

1 tablespoon coconut aminos

2 tablespoons warm water

Juice 1 lime

Handful fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
  1. Combine all the chicken meatball ingredients together in a large bowl. Use your hands and get in there to mix it properly.
  1. Roll the mix into bite-sized balls and place on the lined, oiled tray.
  1. Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown on top.
  1. While theyre cooking, lets make the dipping sauce. Whisk the almond butter together with the warm water until it forms a smooth paste. Then mix it with the other sauce ingredients.
Stuffed Mushrooms

Makes around 24 little bites of joy

Ingredients

1 pound button mushrooms , stems removed

1 cup frozen spinach (or equivalent amount of fresh spinach chopped and blanched)

1/2 cup almond meal

2 tablespoons caper berries

Handful fresh parsley, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Pinch sea salt

Freshly cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 425F (220C).
  1. If your caper berries are large, roughly chop them.
  1. Mix the caper berries, spinach, almond meal, parsley and olive oil together in a bowl. Season to taste.
  1. Line up all the mushroom cups upside down on a baking sheet.
  1. Place a heaped teaspoon of stuffing mix into each mushroom cup and press down. Exactly how much stuffing will depend on how big your mushrooms are!
  1. Bake for around 15 minutes, or until golden on top.

This recipe is also great with larger field mushrooms, but the mushroomy taste will be stronger. My kids prefer button mushrooms.
