Paleo diet for arborists

[Steve Bullman]

Giving this a try at the moment. I'm not taking it to the extreme but like the basic principles behind it, only eating natural foods.

 

Anyone else on it? Any decent recipes to share?

 

I made this last night which was nice, even nicer this morning cold.

The Spunky Coconut: Oven Omelets with Sweet Potato Crust gluten-free, dairy-free

Almost, but not quite. I went from 13 and a half stone to twelve and a half by going keto. Couldn't give up the mature cheddar, but there's not much lactose in that at all anyway.

 

Eating natural is now the only way. If I eat some ice cream in the evening (usually when drunk, that's when I get a craving ) I have a sugar hangover in the morning. If I eat aspartamine (even chewing a pack of gum) I get terrible gas and the shits.

 

The first two months were hard. Now, having stable blood sugar at all times is amazing. I genuinely crave leafy greens. I can taste sugars in brocoli. It's been life changing.

 

The main thing with both Paleo and Keto is giving up the grains. Mankind didn't evolve to eat grains- the agricultural revolution of 10,000 years ago is only seconds on the evolutionary scale

 

Keep it up Steve.

You know I'm on it and it really is good... I've slipped over Xmas but will be paleo on Sunday after party time is over (I'm sat here eating crisps as drinking beer!). As long as you stay in ketosis it's cool...

 

Your DVDs should be there soon mate

Thanks for getting me in trouble guys just been caught by 3 very good looking nurses looking at the spunky coconut sight who are now taking great delight in telling the whole ward that it's some sort of weird porn site.

Been Paleo for a couple of years. Best thing I've ever done. Stick with it like the others have said. First few weeks are hard while you get used to burning fat for fuel, but then things get better and if you try and go back you suddenly realize how awful your old way of living/diet was. Try looking at Mark Sissons Primal Blueprint, his website is http://www.marksdailyapple.com. Excellent resource. Good luck and stick with it.

[Steve Bullman]
