Penny Pinching While on Paleo Diet

,
Paleo Recipes :

In hindsight, you might feel a little worried about all those meats you have to eat when you decide to follow a Paleo diet. For the reason that it promotes an increased intake of protein and fats, it's foreseeable to have a bit of misgiving about it because of contradicting ideas presented by other popular and commonly used diet plans.

Penny Pinching While on Paleo Diet

Aside from the generous amounts of animal protein, and taking away the usual carbohydrate intake, you might also wonder about what to choose from the foods in your Paleo diet food list. Moreover, meats are costly. Imagine eating chicken, pork and beef whenever you want to without feeling guilty about it. Seems extremely satisfying, isn't it?

You can have unlimited supply; yes, but only if you have the bucks to spare. Not to mention the cooking methods, you'll surely get bored stiff with all the frying so you need to try other ways like roasting, stewing, braising, and poaching together with other ingredients to add a new taste to your Paleo meal. So, to give you some ideas on how to spice up your Paleo living while running a tight ship, here are some tips you might find helpful.

Organ meats are a good source of protein, not to mention cheaper than lean meats. You can try heart, kidneys, tongue and of course the most nutritious of them all, liver. Traditional liver and heart dishes with cinnamon are absolute hit recipes when it comes to organ meats.

You might also consider checking out your local farm share programs. They provide cheap but fresh produce that you can benefit from if you're quick to approach them; especially as the season draws near.

Purchase in a bulk. You can actually apply your one time, big time impulse in this one. Though you'll certainly create a dent in your pocket, it's better to spend your money in one go than buying every other day. Say, think about buying half a cow. Not only is it economical, you'd also get to cut and cook its parts in different ways.

As of the time when to visit the market, it is ideal for penny pinchers to go near the end of the day. Farmers tend to offer cheaper goods in hopes of selling out all of them before going home. This way, you can actually take advantage of it, get the best deal and continue your Paleo diet while saving money.

Information About the Paleo Diet

,
Paleo Recipes :

The genetic foundations of the metabolisms of modern humans were laid down millions of years ago, long before the agricultural revolution caused us to begin eating grains, dairy products such as milk and cheese, or sugar. The Paleo diet - short for "Paleolithic" - aims to return you to the eating habits that your body, and the body of every other human on Earth, is designed for, thus banishing the allergies, metabolic diseases, and tooth decay that our poorly chosen modern foods inflict.

Information About the Paleo Diet

Farming and domestication of animals (other than, perhaps, hunting dogs) has taken place only during the most recent years of humanity's long history, a matter of nine or ten thousand at most, and probably less. Unfortunately, these food products became very common - but the fact is that our physiology is still adapted to pre-agricultural dietary patterns. In effect, many supposedly "wholesome" foods we eat today are actually mildly poisonous to us, or react negatively with our body chemistry.

The Paleo diet returns control over your metabolic health to you by focusing on the food groups that the cavemen ate: lean meats, both mammalian and avian, eggs, fish and shellfish, nuts, fresh fruits, and a range of vegetables, including a few root vegetables (but not potatoes, which many diets make the error of including, though at the time of the cavemen these plants grew wild only in remote areas of the Andes and thus were not adapted to by most people).

By limiting your intake to these foods, you will be eating the nourishment Nature intended us to consume, which is readily metabolized and healthy for us. Lean meats as well as organ meats and even tongue will form the backbone of any good diet that follows this innovative, scientifically grounded program. Half a dozen eggs a week will be a good representation of the eggs occasionally found in nests or raided from seabird rookeries.

Nuts are a great source of healthy Paleolithic protein, with monosaturated fats that feed your body while actually lowering your cholesterol. Nuts contain compounds that probably inhibit breast cancer and a few other cancers from developing, and strengthen the heart, reducing the chance of heart disease. Start off slowly eating nuts because they are very nutritious and calorie rich. As you get deeper into the Paleo diet, however, your metabolic rate will rise and you can eat more and still stay (or get) slim.

Though you can get a good grasp of many foods you should avoid simply by eschewing everything that comes in a box, you should also not eat foods that contain sugar, which includes maple syrup or artificial syrup. All kinds of grain products, from bread to pizza crust to pancakes, should be stricken from your list of acceptable foods. Your menu should likewise eliminate butter, cheese, milk, cream, ice cream, and anything else derived from cows.

The Paleo diet may seem a bit restrictive at first, but the lack of allergies, reduced chance of diabetes, and general feeling of energy and well being that you will experience on it will more than compensate for this. There are many superb recipes you can make for variety and gustatory enjoyment, and with the high protein focus of the diet, you will lose excess weight even without much exercise. Exercise regularly and you will be as lean and hardy as one of your Paleolithic forebears in no time!
