Chapter 11: Living on the Paleo Diet
INTRODUCTION
With the enormous popularity of the Paleo diet, there’s a real need for a wide variety of delicious, Paleo-friendly, gluten-free recipes. Any diet, no matter how healthy, can become monotonous if the same handful of meals is eaten week after week.
Breakfast is often the meal that falls into a rut the quickest. Because we’re so busy, we tend to rely on just a few go-to meals or to skip breakfast altogether. This is a mistake, as a healthy breakfast is important for weight management, overall health, and the energy we need to get through the day.
In this book you’ll find that a healthy and delicious Paleo and gluten-free breakfast doesn’t take a lot of time or cost a lot to make. There are plenty of breakfasts that can be prepared ahead, such as the slow cooker recipes in Chapter 3, Paleo Spinach Quiche (Chapter 7: Paleo Egg Breakfasts) or Paleo Blueberry Pancakes (Chapter 8: Paleo Pancakes and Waffles).
There are also plenty of recipes that take just a moment to prepare and can be enjoyed on the run, such as the Paleo Strawberry-Banana Smoothie (Chapter 4: Paleo Shakes and Smoothies) or the nutrient-packed Paleo Granola Bars (Chapter 10: Paleo Breakfast Bars).
There’s a recipe here for everyone, including the littlest cave people (Chapter 5: Paleo Breakfasts for Kids) and those who don’t eat eggs (Chapter 9: Paleo Eggless Breakfasts).
In addition, in Chapter 2, you’ll find some great tips for transitioning to the Paleo and gluten-free lifestyle, plus a great deal of information on why this transition could be the best decision you make for your health. Chapter 11 provides additional information about gluten and the science behind the Paleo diet. A helpful glossary of terms is included at the back of the book.
Enjoy the delicious breakfast recipes you’ll find in these pages. More important, enjoy the health and well-being that the Paleo lifestyle provides.
WHY EAT A PALEO BREAKFAST?
A great deal of research has shown that eating a healthy breakfast is extremely important for weight management, maintaining a healthy blood sugar level, mental focus, and many other desirable benefits.
Unfortunately, because our lives are so busy and our schedules so unrelenting, many of us skip breakfast altogether or rely on a cup of coffee to start our day. Those of us who do eat breakfast often sit down to a bowl of cereal laden with sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and very little nutrition. Others get their breakfast at the drive-thru—generally, highly processed foods full of unhealthy fats and plenty of sugar.
A healthy breakfast should include several key things:
• A good serving of high-quality protein to help you feel full, feed your muscles, and slow the absorption of carbohydrates for a steady supply of energy
• Healthy fats to help your body metabolize micronutrients, help you to feel full and satisfied, and support cognitive function throughout the morning
• Plenty of fiber to aid healthy digestion, provide energy, and help you to feel satisfied all morning long
No matter how busy you may be, you don’t have to choose between an unhealthy breakfast and no breakfast at all.
The Paleo breakfast is a great way to start the day, even if you normally don’t have time for a real meal. There are many ways to make time for a healthy Paleo breakfast. The recipes in this book offer lots of options for even the busiest families.
Many of the recipes take just a few minutes to prepare, a number of them can be made ahead of time, and quite a few can be enjoyed on the run. With so many healthful Paleo options, there’s no need to start the day on an empty stomach or fill your body with drive-thru meals that offer little in the way of good nutrition.
What’s on the Menu for Your Paleo Breakfast?
The Paleo diet is far from limiting and uninteresting. Although processed foods, grains, cereals, and sugar are out, there are still plenty of great foods to eat for breakfast. All vegetables are allowed on the diet except corn (it’s a grain) and white potatoes (they’re too starchy). All fruits are allowed and should be enjoyed as much as possible for their vitamin content, fiber, and natural sweetness.
Even though grains are off-limits, you can still enjoy delicious breakfast favorites, such as muffins, breakfast bars, pancakes, and waffles. These foods are made Paleo-friendly through the use of nut and seed flours, and they taste wonderful. They also pack a lot more nutrition than the traditional versions.
The focus on meats and eggs on the Paleo diet means you get plenty of protein and healthy fats in your morning meal, which is a very good thing. Protein and healthy fats help you to feel full so that you can avoid those
