Tips for the paleo diet

Well I have been doing a little reading on this paleo diet. And for those who want to read the article it is in the dec. 2010 of triathlete mag. It is saying that you don’t have to get crazy on this diet. If you can have dairy and not lacteous intolerant go ahead a drink milk. The cheese thing is iffy due to it is so acidic. And you want you body to be as alkaline as possible. But if you want to do some brown rice and other good whole grains it dose give you lots of benefits. So if you can do it like 80%  or so you still can get really good results.

      Here are some tips to make the paleo diet a little easier.

 
1. Keep Your Cupboards Fully Stocked  - One of the worst things that can happen is to run out of food. Don't get caught short with empty cupboards, go out and gather your supplies! Keep fresh fish and vegetables as well as pre-cooked meals in your freezer, these are not only easy to store over a longer period of time, but are easy to cook up for a healthy paleo meal.

2. Cook Big - Following a paleo diet means regular food preparation and cooking. Save time on cooking by cooking big batches of food which can be refrigerated.

3. Eliminate Junk Food - Temptation is a distraction you don't need, and "out of sight out of mind" is very true when it comes to chocolate, crisps and sweets. You may miss these things initially, but once you can't be tempted you will quickly adapt to their absence. That said, there is nothing wrong with having the odd piece of birthday cake or other non-paleo food on a special occasion (personal preference of course), just make sure you are aware of what you're eating and don't let it become a habit.

4. Paleo Need Never Be Boring  - Add herbs and spices to your meals for increased taste sensation. Basil, ginger, paprika, chili, mint, parsley and curry leaves are all fantastic ways to make your paleo meals flavorsome and exciting.

5. Mix Up Your Vegetables - For maximum nutritional intake make sure you cover a wide spectrum of vegetable colors.

6. Always Have a Back-up Plan - There will be times when you need paleo friendly food but can't locate any. Be sure to carry a can of tuna, some dried fruit or beef jerky to keep you going until you reach a paleo friendly domain.

7. Plan Ahead - Devise a weekly meal planner to help ensure you have the required ingredients at home to cook paleo. This will save you time and frustration when you return home from work during the week to cook your evening meal.

8. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy! - Eating should be enjoyable and the paleo diet is no different. Keep experimenting with different recipes and combination's of food.
