Have you ever heard of the word Paleo diet? Are you thinking about starting a Paleo Diet for a while now, but you have no idea how? Or are you trying to lose weight but don?t know how you should do it without starving yourself? If yes, starting a paleo diet could be a perfect choice for you. Since I?m in an experimenting mood, I decided to try the paleo diet. In this article, I?m going to review the Paleo Beginners Guide. Let?s see what I experienced!
What is a paleo diet?
Usually, people define the paleo diet as eating food that could have been eaten by paleolithic people. This means that the paleo diet consists of food that only includes all-natural ingredients. These ingredients can be meats, fish, different seeds, nuts, fruits and vegetables, and natural fats and oils. What paleo diet tries to avoid the most is processed foods, grains, refined sugar, and of course, anything artificial. You can eat anything that could have been hunted or gathered by people in the Paleolithic era. That?s why it?s healthy. At that time there were no fast foods or artificial ingredients. Every meal was pure and natural. Experts also claim that following a paleo diet can help you lose weight and control body functions like blood sugar, blood pressure, digestion, or metabolism.
Why doing a paleo diet is good for you?
If you do it right, it?s very healthy and good for your health. Nowadays, there are so many artificial ingredients and colorants in most foods that can harm our bodies. On the contrary, eating lots of fruits and vegetables have very positive effects. Since the paleo diet avoids sugar, it could be perfect for those who want to lose weight. Also, it?s safe to lose weight with the paleo diet, because you should eat healthily and not less. With this mentality, eating disorders and anorexia can be prevented. However, the paleo diet is good for anyone because it avoids processed food, like fast food and anything artificial. When you eat healthily, you feel better. Your whole body will feel better. They say that when you eat a lot of fruits and veggies, you?ll feel more powerful and energetic.
Let?s talk a bit about Paleo Beginners Guide
I received a free book after I entered my email address. I could select if I?d like to have a digital version as well. If a physical copy is enough for you, you can immediately go to the shipping information section. I asked for a digital version as well because why not. Then I went to the shipping information page where I had to give my bank account details and other essential shipping information. The book is free; however, I should pay the shipping cost which was $6.95. If you have any questions or concerns, they offer 24/7 support where you can easily contact them.
What can I read about in this book?
Lots of recipes
Paleo Beginners Guide includes every kind of recipe. I could find a perfect recipe for breakfast, lunch, dinner, also there are great dessert ideas. Since this book is for beginners, there was a very useful guide on how to lose weight, improve health, and avoid diseases. They also collected some daily tips to help us plan our daily meals. To make it easier, there is also a shopping list that includes every ingredient I would need to prepare my paleo diet. I?m very sweet-toothed so it was a huge positivity that this book includes paleo snack ideas.
Other useful tips
If you often go eating out with your friends or family, they also provide some tips to help you find paleo meals in any restaurant. In my opinion, that?s great because you can still go out with your friends and enjoy a meal together at a restaurant and eat something compatible with the paleo diet. Finally, with this book, you can learn a lot about food labels, and they will also help you with what you should look for in food labels and which food should you avoid in the supermarket because of bad ingredients.
Two bonuses
This free book also contains two bonuses. As a first bonus, they offer paleo cures, which can help you with some medical conditions like diabetes or inflammation. This can be super-useful if you or any of your relatives have any of these listed conditions. The second bonus is about seasonal foods. With that, you?ll learn about how to make paleo seasonal foods and which ingredients to use. It?s great for example when you try to make something healthy for your family as a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal.
My experience on the paleo diet
A wide range of choice
I?m not a huge vegetable fan, so imagine how healthy my eating habits were. That?s why I was a bit afraid of starting the paleo diet, but I like challenges. After I signed up with my email address and gave every necessary shipping detail, I received the book within a few days. I didn?t know a lot about the paleo diet so the whole thing was a surprise for me. When I first opened the book, I examined all the pages. It was a very eye-opening moment when I realized that you can prepare so many kinds of food from paleo ingredients.
Growing veggies at home
Luckily some weeks ago, I renovated my garden, so I have now a place to plant veggies. Also, I decided that I?ll visit the nearest farmer?s market where I can buy home-grown and home-made ingredients. To be honest, I was really surprised how varied diet can be prepared from veggies and meats or fish. Also, my favorite part is the dessert section. I?m now able to make delicious and healthy desserts.
My suggestions for you as a fellow beginner paleo dieter
First advice
As a total beginner, I collected some suggestions for you based on my experiences. I?d advise you to plant some veggie seeds in your backyard. If you don?t have one, you can also make a small greenhouse inside your house. For example, you can grow tomatoes easily inside the house. You can find very useful equipment for both indoor and outdoor planting as well on Amazon. This will not only provide you fresh ingredients every day but also if you eat a lot of veggies, it could be cheaper if you grow it at your home. Not to mention that they are grown by you and you know that they never touched any kind of chemicals.
Second advice
Another option for finding fresh and healthy ingredients is to visit a farmer?s market. They also sell home-grown and all-natural products. Not to mention that with buying products at a farmer?s market, you?ll support local farmers and local businesses. They all need a little help in these difficult times.
Third advice
I also decided to try as many dishes as possible because I?d like to experience every kind of paleo meal. There might be some dish that you first find awful but after you try it, it can become your favorite. So, I recommend you try out every recipe and experiment as much as you can.
To summarize this article,
if you?ve been thinking about changing your life a bit and starting to eat healthier for a while now, the paleo diet could be a solution for you. Paleo diet includes healthy ingredients and food that contain no artificial colorants or other harmful chemicals. With the Beginners Guide to Paleo Diet book, you can easily start living a healthier life. They offer plenty of recipes and guides to help every beginner. They provide daily meal plans, dessert ideas but you can also read about other helpful pieces of advice, like how to maintain your paleo diet when eating out in a restaurant or how to read food labels.
