Check out The PALEOdiet by Daniel Green.
I'll check it out! Thanks.
Sorry, not me. A Paleo diet is almost an anathema to a vegetarian. I say "almost" only because I sometimes eat fish so I'm an "almost" vegetarian
Hey now, we both eat lots of veggies. We can still be friends! ;-) recipes for side dishes still appreciated. Just no peanuts, soy, dairy, gluten, teff of buckwheat please. ;-)
Yes, we share the veggies in common. You all can have my portion of meat
As for recipes, does quinoa or amaranth have a place in the diet? How about legumes? Sweet potato? I tend to make lots of crock pot meals that involve veggies and beans and I often use Indian spices. Any of that sound good? Curried chick peas with sweet potato, for example?
unfortunately most of those are all out right now due to the high carb count. Sweet potato is allowed though! And while my son can't have it, I have yet to give up my hummus.
Funny, my friend (who has been a vegetarian since middle school) said her boss was trying to talk her into going paleo and she was considering it. I told her I didn't think you could healthily combine those diets. I think you've elaborated on how different they really are!
I'm not, sorry to say. The cost per meal for potatoes, beans, rice - which I think isn't allowed? - and wheat is just too good. But I also don't have Celiac's or lactose intolerance like those who might benefit from the diet.
I just try to balance things the best I can, although I probably eat too many pickles because vinegar is my favorite food group.
Right now I'm trying to eat more probiotic and fermented things because some antibiotics I've been taking have really messed with my digestion. It's been a bit tough since I can hardly eat yogurt without gagging.
yes, no grains or legumes allowed. Starch in low moderation. I try to NOT look at the register when we check out for groceries on this diet. We did a month of costco shopping a few weeks ago and I went weak in the knees when the total came up. But, my son has shown such improvement since switching that we couldn't ethically go back. And it's got to be cheaper than medical bills and medications for his list of ailments right?!
Pickles have been on my list of foods to learn how to make for quite some time now! Yum! Have you started brewing Kombucha yet? It's a favorite in our house!
