Paleo Diet Plan For Vibrant Health and Weight Loss

,
Paleo Lunch :

The Paleo Plan is your new regime, the new discipline to guide you along the road to a better lifestyle. Initially this may sound serious and inhibiting but in fact it is not, it is a whole lot of fun. A new way of eating, dieting, shopping and cooking. One could say that the caveman did not have a fitted out kitchen BUT he did have fire and his own way. Fortunately for you you are not expected to cook caveman style but only to follow his plan of eating.

Paleo Diet Plan For Vibrant Health and Weight Loss

The following is the basic diet plan for you to follow, wherever possible organic, free range or wild product should be used:

Allowed Foods:

  1. Protein from lean and fat off beef, lamb, pork, poultry (no skin), eggs, fish, shellfish and game meats;
  2. Fruit of all varieties especially lots of berries (very good anti-oxidants)
  3. Vegetables of all varieties. However there is some controversy over the root vegetables but we recommend you use your discretion here. It is believed that in the paleolithic era the caveman ate the leaves of what we call root vegetables and others believe the root veg was also included in their eating plan.
  4. Nuts and seeds as available.
  5. Fats and oils such as avocado oil, olive oil and nut oils and of course there will be a small portion of animal fat from the meats consumed. Here again there is some controversy as some believe ghee is acceptable and others argue that it is dairy and therefore is not allowed. However there is a little give and take in the plan but do not take advantage of it.

Totally Excluded Foods:

  1. All grain products ie breads, pastry, pasta, crackers any foods containing grains.
  2. All dairy ie milk, yoghurt, cheeses and butter any products containing dairy.

Contrary to your possible initial impression of woe of the Paleo Plan there is an amazing array of foods available to experiment with giving you the ability to create meals that are flavoursome, wholesome and healthy. This plan could just be your opportunity of showing your family and friends your artistic and creative imagination in surprising them with the serving of the most tasty, wholesome and healthy meals. Friends will be impressed, amazed and in awe. For sure they will be asking when the next dinner party is going to be!

This Plan does not restrict your menu in any way. There are endless possibilities in food combinations. There are recipes for breakfast, lunch, supper, dessert, snacks, celebratory meals and even barbecues. Absolutely no reason to feel deprived! The whole idea of the Paleo Plan is to embrace a lifestyle of eating the correct way for the human body to best ensure general well being, increased vitality and certain weight loss. Genetically we are still 99.9% the same as our caveman ancestors who were certainly of a robust disposition.

**Your Paleo Plan is the beginning of the rest of your healthy, slim and energetic new life!!!**

The Paleo Recipe Book Review

,
Paleo Lunch :

Have you started, or are thinking of starting the Paleo Diet? This is one of the top diets for 2011 (as it was in 2010), and is touted as one of the healthiest and most beneficial diets in the world today.

The Paleo Recipe Book Review

Why is this?

Let's first take a look at what the Paleo diet is about, and then we will go on to review the famous Paleo Recipe Book.

This diet is simply a dietary lifestyle based on the foods that were eaten by our hunter gatherer ancestors. It is the type of food that our bodies were genetically designed to eat, so therefore is the optimum diet for complete health and wellbeing.

Foods such as meat and vegetables are most important in the Paleo diet pyramid - after that fruit, nuts and berries. Dairy, sugar and all processed foods are out. So you can imagine why so many people are using this diet to improve their health and lose weight.

The Paleolithic Diet is the only diet proven to fight disease, optimize energy and help you lose weight - the right way.

Is it easy? It depends on how you used to eat in the past - many people have to make some rather extreme dietary changes to accommodate the guidelines (giving up dairy and sugar can be a rather big ask). However anyone who has done this diet, will tell you the benefits more than outweigh the cost.

The Paleo Recipe Book was created by a health and fitness enthusiast called Sebastien Noel. Sebastien suffered from a number of health issues that prompted him to research how he could improve his diet and subsequently his health. He realised that going back to basics with the Paleo diet was the answer, and went on to create the recipe book.

What's in the package?

The recipe book contains 370+ Paleo specific recipes in an instantly downloadable eBook format. You also get a free bonus 8 week meal plan covering every meal for 56 days - breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks. You also get the following:

  • A bonus herbs and spices guide (really good if you like plenty of flavour in your meals)
  • A Paleo food list (what to eat, and what to avoid)
  • Where to find the foods you need for the diet
  • A guide to good fats
  • Cooking time charts and meat doneness chart
  • A guide to cooking the perfect steak
  • And much more.

The 370 recipes all consist of natural, unprocessed, and healthy ingredients, and they also include color photos of the finished meals. The meals are all really easy to cook, and you don't need any cooking skills as the instructions are given in a concise, step by step manner.

Paleo cooking provides a simple, natural way of eating that can dramatically improve health, and help you to lose weight in the process. No other weight loss diet is as basic, yet effective. If you want to lose weight fast, increase your energy and your sex drive, improve your immune system and have a clearer, smoother complexion then the Paleo diet might just be the answer. The Paleo Recipe book is just one resource that could help you achieve your goals.

Healthy Eating and Exercise Regime For Quick Weight Loss

,
Paleo Lunch :

The problem with many diet plans is that they are too restrictive, too complicated to follow, or both. Diets often fail because most people find them hard to stick to for the long-term. Rather than eating to lose weight, it is much better idea to eat for health. Healthy eating is a lifestyle change that you can become accustomed to after a short period of time. When you make eating healthy a habit, you will no longer have to stress over what to eat and whether it is good for you.

Healthy Eating and Exercise Regime For Quick Weight Loss

Weight issues also become less of a problem. There are many types of healthy eating plans to follow but the ones below are ones that I favor most. Of course you should speak with your health care provider before changing your eating habits or exercise regime.

Healthy Eating Plans for a Lifestyle Change

Developing good eating habits can make life so much easier. You learn how to maintain a healthy weight and how to manage food rather than letting food mange you. Two good methods of eating are "clean eating" and the paleolithic diet. Both are similar in that they do not include processed foods. Processed foods often contain high amounts of fat, sugar, and calories. Simple carbs like bread, cereal, rice, and pasta tend to be the foods that keep us overweight.

They are often eaten in excess. When they are not burned, they are stored as fat. Think about a typical day of meals. Breakfast may consist of cereal, a bagel, etc. Lunch may be a sandwich or pasta. Dinner may be more bread, pasta, rice, etc. Desserts can be cake, pie, cookies, ice cream, or other. These simple carbs add up quickly in a day.

Following the eating plans of clean eating or the paleo diet may help you to reach your weight loss goals in a healthy way that you can stick to for the long-term.

Exercise to Burn Fat

Any exercise is better than none at all, however, there are some that do a better job at fat burning than others. Three great fat burning activities include strength training, calisthenics, and interval training. All three of these exercise routines burn fat by developing muscle. Muscle burns both fat and calories. Even when we are at rest, our muscle burn calories.

The best thing about these exercises is that you do not need to spend more than an hour working out. You also do not need to spend money on gym memberships. Combining your healthy eating habits with fat burning exercises will have you on your way to permanent weight loss.

What Are Good Foods To Eat For Weight Loss? - A Few Examples

,
Paleo Lunch :

Eating to lose weight sounds counter-intuitive doesn't it? After all isn't eating excessively what leads to weight gains for many of us? The advice to eat less and exercise more to reach your weight loss goals is extremely common. But perhaps the problem is more what we eat than the amount. Perhaps too why we eat over much, if we in fact do, is because of what we are eating. Maybe other foods would be more filling and provide longer lasting energy.

What Are Good Foods To Eat For Weight Loss? - A Few Examples

There are a few different authors and researchers who take a view sympathetic to the latter points. My experience tends to support these views as well. The type of food, the type of calories we consume has more of an impact on our body composition than just the amount consumed.

So you ask: what should i eat to lose weight? It's actually not too complicated. Most of the common meals we all consume on a daily basis, in part due to government recommendations, are based on a few different products. Unfortunately these products aren't conducive to maintaining an ideal body composition. For example corn is a major ingredient in most food products found in grocery stores. Soy and wheat are others. In order to lose weight or maintain an ideal body composition it's more beneficial to base our meals around some of the following foods:

1) Meats: Chicken, beef, fish etc.

2) Greens: Lettuce, spinach and similar leafy greens.

3) Root vegetables: Carrots, parsnips, turnips etc.

4) Nuts: Pecans, walnuts and almonds among others.

5) Some squashes such as butternut and acorn squashes.

6) Low glysemic impact fruits like: Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.

When eating food products like this we're more likely to consume fresher, higher quality meals that contain less processed foods. These meals also have a reduced impact on blood sugar compared to what some call the Standard American Diet (SAD). This reduced impact on blood sugar means that our production of insulin is reduced and less glucose (perhaps none at all) from the blood stream is converted to fat deposits. Sounds like a good thing to me! Just think of all the meal possibilities available. Omelets, sausages, bacon and such for breakfast. You can even make lower impact pancakes from almond or coconut flour and top them with mixed fruit. All types of salads for lunch and a hearty steak dinner in the evening. If you're not convinced I'd encourage you to do a little research. This type of eating is sometimes called paleo or primal but you can just call it your own.

Belly Fat Foods to Avoid

,
Paleo Lunch :

There are so many methods of eating healthy out there that it can all be so confusing. I look for ways to keep things simple so when I came across one particular method of eating, I became really interested. What I discovered was that it's not about foods that burn fat (which doesn't exist by the way) but foods that keep you fat that should be avoided.

Belly Fat Foods to Avoid

Searching for fat burning foods is pretty much a waste of time. No food can actually burn fat. However, there are foods that do cause weight gain and keep you overweight. These types of food are simple carbohydrates. You can find these types of carbs in processed foods such as:

  • bread
  • cereal
  • cake
  • cookies
  • pies
  • refined sugar and more
The reason why these types of carbs cause weight gain is because when they are not burned, the body stores the excess as fat. I'll be the first to admit avoiding these foods aren't easy because they are everywhere. You may be surprised at how often you eat them. How many times have you had a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast? How about a sandwich for lunch on thick slices of ciabatta bread? These types of carbs easily add up during the day. The method of eating that I mentioned earlier that makes avoiding these "bad" carbs easier is called the paleo diet (paleolithic or caveman diet.)

This way of eating revolves around food in its most natural state. People who follow this diet eat lean meat, a lot of fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, and more. For the most part, they avoid any processed foods and grains. There is a lot of information out there about the paleo diet so be sure to do your own research. You will find plenty of bloggers who follow this diet and they usually post really good recipes as well. I have read many times that weight loss comes much easier by eating this way. However, I would suggest consulting with your doctor before jumping into any new way of eating.

Besides food that we eat, it's also important to think about what you are drinking at well. Sugar can be found in a lot of beverages particularly coffee drinks and so-called health smoothies. I would recommend cutting out soda all together and beware of fruit juice as well because it also contains sugar. Water, black coffee, and tea are good beverage options.

A Weekly Nutrisystem Menu Sample - 7 Examples of Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Meals

,
Paleo Lunch :

I get a lot of emails from people who are asking for me to paint them a picture of what life on nutrisystem is like. I've written about a typical day on this diet. I've had a few people tell me that this isn't a big enough glimpse of the meals to give them a full idea of what they will be eating. So, in the following article, I'm going to expand on this idea and provide an example of a week's worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and desserts. I will also give you examples of the sides that you are asked to add onto each meal.

A Weekly Nutrisystem Menu Sample - 7 Examples of Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Meals

An Example Of A Week's Worth Of Nutrisystem Breakfasts: I often say that I think that the breakfasts, snacks, and desserts are my favorite part of this diets. Even though this is a lower carb diet, you are still allowed cereals, muffins, pancakes, and scones. For this example, I've tried to mix things up a bit so that there's a lot of variety. Here are seven typical breakfasts that I chose and the sides which would work well with them. They are: the banana nut muffin with milk; the egg frittata with cantaloupe; the blueberry pancakes with yogurt; the apple cinnamon oatmeal with apple slices; the apple strudel scone with cottage cheese; the cluster crunch cereal with skim milk; and the cinnamon roll with yogurt.

Now, this is only seven choices. There are more. But this does give you a good sampling of the types of products that you will eat. There are different flavors within each category. There are different flavors of oatmeal, cereals, scones, and muffins. What I've given are examples that I enjoy.

7 Days Worth Of Nutrisystem Lunches: People often expect to see a lot of soups here. And, there are some. But there are also pastas, hot dogs, bars, salads, and rice dishes. The examples that I've chosen are: the cheese tortellini and a small salad; the hot dog and celery sticks; the chicken and pasta in cacciatore sauce with carrot sticks; the chicken caesar salad with blueberries; the red beans and rice with red peppers; the minestrone soup with salad; the fettucine alfredo and cucumber slices; and finally, the chicken and noodles with watermelon.

A Weekly Sample Menu Of Nutrisystem Dinners: The dinners are a bit more substantial and they do offer a lot of variety. I tend to like the comfort food options, so if I were choosing for an entire week, I might chose: the Cajun chicken and sausage with fat and sugar free pudding; the lasagne and meat sauce with a salad; the pizza and strawberries; the beef steak with potatoes and cantaloupe; the bar b que pork wrap with celery sticks and fat free dressing; the macaroni cheese and beef with sliced tomatoes; and the mushroom risotto with sliced red peppers.

7 Tasty Snacks: You really can't go wrong with any of the snacks. But, here are seven of my favorites: the nachos; the pretzels; the herb snack mix; the cheese puffs; the bar b que chips; the coconut almond bar; and the chocolate rainbow desserts.

A Week's Worth Of Desserts: This isn't going to be very original, but the desserts are my favorite. I honestly can't think of one that I wouldn't eat, and I pretty much like them all. If I could only chose 7, I'd pick: the almond biscotti; the chocolate cake; the peppermint cookie patty; the nutrichocolates; the golden pound cake: the blueberry lemon dessert bar; and the mint chocolate crunch bar.

All of the meals are meant to be interchangeable. And, nutrisystem does allow for you to buy foods individually, by the week, and by the month. The monthly packages usually work out to be cheaper because you're buying in bulk and because they allow for you to use the most generous coupons with the monthly packages.
