Savor That Paleo Meal

If you are considering starting on the Paleo Diet, you just might discover that eating a Paleo meal is not only healthy, but delicious! A Paleo meal is rich in flavor because it hasn't been subjected to the myriad of additives that people have become accustomed to eating.
Instead, you enjoy the taste of the food itself, not the added flavorings.
For meals, always select lean cuts of meat.
Choosing a steak from cows that have been grass-fed is considered best for ultimate health.
A piece of meat from a grass-fed animal is thought to have more omega-3 fatty acids, less total fat, and higher levels of a fat that is thought to reduce heart disease and cancer.
Most meats you find at the grocery store are from animals that have been raised on processed grains (i.
e.
corn).
Grains, of course, are not on the Paleo diet.
You should not eat them, and the cows you eat should not eat them, because it affects their nutrient and fat content.
Seafoods are an important part of the menu of your Paleo meal.
The leanest seafoods you can enjoy are fresh or frozen catfish, cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, orange roughy, salmon, tilapia, trout, tuna, smoked herring, sardines, oysters, and shellfish (shrimp, lobster,clams, crab, scallops).
Fish is a good source of omega-3, so the following items are good sources that are high in omega-3: salmon, trout, sardines, mackerel, snapper and canned white tuna.
Fish oil is beneficial because it is believed to be a treatment for depression and it is important in brain function.
A great way to enjoy your vegetables is to grill them as a kebab.
You can be as creative as you want in selecting your veggies.
Zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and onions are a truly a tasty treat, and are very easy to prepare.
Just brush with a little olive oil and grill on a skewer.
If you prefer a salad, try a variety of greens besides your iceberg lettuce, such as spinach, mustard greens, watercress, kale, arugula, dandelion greens, and collard greens.
Many of these greens are delicious in soups, as well.
If you are a pasta lover, you won't need to go without foods like spaghetti.
You can replace the spaghetti with spaghetti squash.
A great rice replacement is cauliflower.
Just run the cauliflower through a food processor so that it looks like the consistency of rice.
Then steam and serve just like rice! There are so many meals to select from when you decide to eat like a caveman.
You won't ever become bored, as is common with many other diets.
You won't ever feel guilty on the Paleo diet either because of the wide selection of foods you can eat.
You can eat more, and lose weight! Should you occasionally crave something like sweets, my recommendation is, 'go ahead and enjoy it.
' Then go right back on the Paleo diet.
I don't believe in punishment when it comes to food.
We all have to eat, and the right choice is important, but even if you slip occasionally, just keep on track as best you can.
