The principle of the paleo diet, which you may or might not be already acquainted with, is the boycotting of starches and all kinds of sugar, and virtually any agricultural goods that our ancestors and forefathers did not have available. This reduces the list of options somewhat, considering that we can not use any kind of noodles, flour, bread, or spuds. Yikes, that's lots of my favorites! The truth is, it's not possible to replace these kinds of starchy goods well, so do not attempt for the present time. We will create dinners that include a protein , and loads of greens. The upside to eradicating the starchy carbs is always that concerning oneself about only consuming trim cuts of meats should cease being necessary.
To get started we got to select a protein source, one of meat, sea food, or eggs. For meats, ideally you should choose grassfed beef, chicken, or wild game. For fish, ideally you should opt for the fatty variety and preferably wild. There are lots of approaches to prepare a meat, but when it's nice out, why not grill?
In case you are making food indoors you are likely to need some type of cooking fat. There are several cooking fats you may use for example oils, lard, butter, ghee, or perhaps saved bacon fat. Two oils that conform properly for the nutritional requirements of any paleo eater are coconut oil (100 % natural, not refined) and olive oil. These oils can be fine for sauteeing, and coconut can be used at higher temps, but lard could be a better alternative. Butter must if at all possible be of the grassfed sort considering the increased amount of Omega3 and Omega6 fats.
Regarding fixing a steak, don't make it hard. You could make a paleo-friendly marinade and allow the steak to soak in it for 24-48 hours max first. Once it's supper, simply plop some fat (I like butter) into the skillet and put some spice onto the steak (Montreal Steak is good), and do a couple minutes on both sides. For fish, I typically cook it in the oven with some freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic cloves, and butter. There are many, many, recipes you can make with chicken but barbecuing it with a nice barbeque rub always seems to work nicely.
That's one piece, now we have got to do the vegetables. You might stick to the all-time classic, the salad, or choose a more cooked variety. During the summer time I usually opt for a salad, and when it gets colder I'll fix some veggies on the stove. Green beans and asparagus are a few of my top picks since you can prepare them just like a piece of meat on the stove, with a bit of oil and spice. Asparagus also is effective on the grill, along with bell peppers.
Well, there it is. Once you lock down some simple recipes of your own you can expand your arsenal, but just remember, it doesn't need to be complicated.
