If it was eating fish would not even matter anymore to get a nice omegas ratio. Also i saw it was not that expensive like it is about the price of organic food. From what i read even milk and cheese from grassfed animal product could easily replace fish...

So why is it so unpopular and difficult to find ?

Ingredients: Apple juice, water, rhubarb juice, elder juice (all organic). I consider this a Paleo friendly drink :-)

Pricing: 1,79 €

Hey everyone, I have made a Discord server for Paleo lovers to share their knowledge and experiences, mods can delete if I am not allowed to do so but yeah, feel free to join :)

So suppose you're eating beef organ meats, fish roe, chicken eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, bone broth, beef fats (suet, tallow, butter, ghee..etc), but you're not eating any muscle meat, is there any negative health effects or nutrient deficiencies that would arise from that dietary pattern?

Is there a complete list of foods to avoid for paleo? I want to make sure I'm following the diet properly.

hey so i’m thinking of going paleo, until xmas at least. my body doesn’t react well to gluten and dairy so it’s honestly for the best. anyone have any good meal ideas? i really like Japanese Korean Indian Thai and Mexican food so i’m wondering about some good combos to try. Also any desert ideas? i live in the EU so we don’t really have ‘paleo’ bread or any type of bars etc

After I'm a bit stuffed from a big meal I eat some tahini and it feels like I have better blood flow to my frontal lobes, I get less full too. Is this bc of the sesame, MG or maybe its lowering my cholesterol? is it just my funny biochemistry or have others experienced this?

For the (frequent) nights I don't want to cook, I need some ideas. So far I have: tuna, precooked sausages, canned sardines and mackerel, fairlife.

Any other ideas?

Basically just that lol.

I am starting paleo for the first time. I don't typically do organic or specialty/lean meats, just whatever is cheap which is usually the fattier cuts.

My tentative plan has been to basically plan meals by proportion so like half the plate non-starchy veg/fruit, 1/4 plate of lean protein and 1/4 plate of a healthy fat.

I bought my first week's worth of groceries and it was just slightly higher than I think I will be able to do all the time for my family of 4 so I'm wondering what I should prioritize and what tips there are for getting enough volume of food while trying to cut back on the budget just a little bit.

Frame of reference, I am trying to aim for a maximum of $850/month for a family of 4 and this first week's grocery haul came out to about $250? It was actually closer to $320 but I switched some things out (put back some oil I didn't need yet and swapped some organic fruits out for nonorganic) to bring it down a little but I will not reach my grocery budget if I am consistently spending 250-300 a week.

Just looking for ideas- what can I buy in bulk, what portion sizes do you use, which produce gives you the most satiety for the least cost, how lean is sufficient, things like that.

TIA

Is Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum allowed on the Paleo diet? I’m going to be starting a gut healing protocol that involves probiotics and wanted to know if there was any issue in taking this specific prebiotic.

So this isn't my first rodeo with paleo, but it is my first rodeo with periods on paleo (now former health reasons made me periodless). My usual go to snack for this time of the month is usually pop tarts or special k cereal bars. Does anyone have a go-to paleo period snack they could reccomend? It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, just enough to make it easier to cope lol.

TIA

I've been reading, while on paleo we should be taking probiotics and multivitamins. Why do you need to take supplements while on a paleo eating plan if we're eating a diet nature decided for us? I'm a newbie to paleo, it's the only thing that leaves a question mark

Recipes are pretty straightforward but I really struggle at restaurants and checking ingredient labels. Tired of googling ingredients like "citric acid"

Hello!

I’ve been searching for grain and dairy free alternatives to the carb component of Indian foods (I am Indian-Australian, and have been put on a grain/dairy free diet medically), but not to too much avail.

This is a rough recipe for very simple savoury “pancakes” that you can endlessly customise and can act as a meal in itself or as an accompaniment to curry/stews etc. This is just a rough guide for now, as I will be properly measuring out the quantities of the ingredients and amend as such tomorrow. Just wanted to provide a guide for people to get an idea.

1 cup buckwheat flour 1/3 cup tapioca flour -1 tsp salt -1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi) -1/2 tsp Carom seeds (ajwain) -1/2 tsp turmeric powder -1 tsp coriander powder ~2 cups of water

-Ghee (clarified butter) for cooking

Optional: -50g grated zucchini/carrot/cauliflower/potato (raw or boiled). Any combination thereof

Steps:

1. Combine everything except the water.
2. Add water slowly, mixing as you go so it doesn’t get clumpy, until it’s your desired consistency. Aim for a pancake batter like thickness

-with cheela it really doesn’t matter if your batter is thick or not. -I prefer a thinner batter for ease of ladling, but it’s up to you 3. Heat up a nonstick pan 4. Scoop up one ladle of batter and pour into pan (do NOT add any fats to the pan beforehand). 5. Turn the heat down to medium-low. 6. After 3-4 minutes the bottom will be mostly cooked. At this point, before flipping the cheela, add about 1/2 - 1 tsp ghee on top of the cheela (the uncooked side). -Note: The amount of ghee is also totally up to you, depending on how indulgent you want to make it 7. Flip cheela 8. After a few seconds, when the bottom is no longer liquidy, swish the cheela around in the pan to ensure the ghee spreads nicely over it. 9. Cook for 3-4 minutes - aim for golden brown with brown spots. 10. Finally, flip it back onto the previously cooked side and cook on low for about a minute, so that side gets ghee too. 11. E A T

Please let me know if I can format or make any corrections to improve the post. I hope this gives some people a new idea to try.

-Remember that Indian food is extremely forgiving - it’s the main reason the vast majority of us learn to cook/are taught to cook by estimation (“andaaz”). It’s not nearly as intimidating as the giant ingredient lists on the recipes make it out to be. Experiment! -Another reason I’d encourage experimenting is because it’s dead cheap, and most Indian food (i.e., the meals that the average Indian eats everyday, which are VERY different to the kinds of dishes you see in Indian restaurants). Most Indian foods use the same rotation of spices - it’s the variation in ratios of the spices that gives you different meals. So once you build an initial stock of basic spices, you have a whole world of dishes you can very easily make.

Most of these daily foods are fairly low in fat, vegetable heavy, and the carbs part is up to personal discretion

Explore! Indian food consists of dozens of cuisines. There are many, many more dishes than curry in Indian cuisines.

Indian food is pretty paleo friendly as well - apart from the carb component, it’s pretty much all grain free, dairy free, vegan even.

I love sharing my enjoyment of these sort of foods, and hope it sparks an interest in someone! Ok gonna hop off this soapbox now.

Hello everyone i saw that there was a link for the Aussie fitness cookbook for low calories and high protein book. Is it possible for anyone to send it to me please. 🙏

There is an app I started using being new to paleo that I think is super helpful! It’s called “Fig” and you scan barcodes and it will tell you if it’s paleo or not. You get a free trail and then it’s like $50 for the year. A added bonus is if you have allergies or food sensitivities, you can add that into it as well.

Ive done paleo a few times. Generally for a month or so, and lost a load of weight. I eat as much as i want, and find that this generally ammounts to bigger lunches than usual (i get free lunch at work, so have to make my own when on paleo).

I'm eating a lot of sprouts, salads, cucumber, a fair bit of fruit, plenty of nuts and fish, avocado.

This time around i am noticing I'm somewhat constipated. Its been two weeks. I am doing HUGE toilet-blocking turds once every day and a half. Im drinking plenty, and they arent hard and dry. Just enormous

Im confused, because i reckon about 65% of my food intake is greens at the moment, which is much more than my usual diet.

Is this common?

Can anyone recommend some good recipe websites? I'm new to paleo. Recipes for snacks in addition to meals would also be great. I've been using paleorunningmomma.com but the snacks are extremely high in calories. I'm happy with my current weight but I don't really want to gain weight. Thanks!

What's destroying my body more: gluten yummy croissants and subs or cigarettes I'm gluten intolerant and smoke menthol slims two times a day

The book I go by is written by Sarah Ballantyne, PHd.

She wrote a Great book called 'The Paleo Approach Cookbook.' --- in the book she created a Food index of Good and Bad choices for the Paleo Diet enthusiast (great list). Whenever I've gone against the list, I've always suffered from Ingestion Issues.

There's a short list of foods to Eat. (strange that she lists some nuts are good)--- BUT in her book nuts are listed as 'NO GOOD TO EAT' item.

• Why do so many Paleo sites list 'nuts as ok to eat' ?
• --- is anyone else having issues eating Nuts ?

~thanks !

Male, 30yr, 1.80mt, 122kg. My bodyfat is 37%.

Today I got my bloodwork and I have pre-diabetes. I'm in shock.

Yes, I'm obese. When I was 21yr, I was my slimmest at 83kg after eating Paleo. However, I stop eating health back in 2018 and keep gaining weight until now. Is there any hopes for me?
I'm afraid low-carb or paleo diet won't work on me anymore, and that it could actually be worse for me.

I'm opened to all feedbacks. I need advices.

Here are my bloodworks for those interested in. It's in Portuguese, but it's easy to undertand.
This is what they are in order:

1. A1c

2. Free T4

3. TSH

4. Free T3

5. Free testosterone

Thank you.

Basically I eat 2 bananas every morning with a shot or two of pickle juice. I eat 1lb ground turkey with iceberg lettuce for lunch and dinner. Is this sustainable or are there any nutrients I need to add?

Hi new to the group but not to the diet I’m a 17 year old and have had acne for a good few years now and have searched how to fix it to no avail until I found Santacruzmedicinals who said that if I eat this way and take certain supplements like B5 and magnesium and use beef tallow and use a shower filter etc my skin should improve

I like to believe this and I have done literally everything he’s said yet my skin still has problems and flare ups which I am starting to find unbelievable-ably frustrating as I have freinds who eat terrible processed foods and alcohol and have perfect skin yet I feel very guilty and nearly never end up eating with them when we go out to places because of my skin as I feel like it’s just going to make everything worse

I want to know if anyone else has seen improvement in skin as online it seems everyone claims this is a benefit of the diet

P.S there is improvement in my acne however for the amount I’ve changed my lifestyle I just kind of expected it to go with all that I am doing compared to others which seem to not even think about it and eat poorly

Thanks

I bought some semi dried pitted dates and like to snack on them as they are delicious but am worried about the sugar, should this be something to worry about as I’m prob eating around 6-8 a day maybe more as I can get them cheap in bulk

Thanks

TLDR: Switched to 80% paleo lifestyle in January and lost about 20 pounds along with working out prior to my wedding. Now that the wedding has past (about a month) struggling to find motivation again to resume the lifestyle

Is there a giant list of every non-paleo ingredient? I'm tired of googling things like "magnesium stearate"...

Do any of you have no gallbladder and have severe bloat 247? I remember the only time it went away is having normal BMs a few times in one day...I look pregnant and wondering if this diet helps with regularity?
