Paleo diet for arborists

[Andrew Gale]

What do you guys eat/use instead of wheat? I love a good loaf of granary and a nice bowl of pasta, how do you get around it?

[AndyCM]

Pasta is easy, loads of gluten free out there and all pretty good.

 

Bread - look for New Burn brand, a little harder to track down

extra veggies or something....theres nothing to really substitute for it as it doesn't need substituting IMO

This. More meat, eggs and veg.

I have decided to give this a try, I will stock up on things tomorrow.

 

Had a great omelette today, kind of greek salad, diced courgette slowly fried in olive oil with panchetta, really good fresh tomatoes and then feta cheese crumbled over after the eggs have gone in. It was great, Feta is only 0.7% carb BTW.

To sum up according to this article, they are ok as an occasional indulgence, but not as a staple.

Thanks Steve, having been shopping today it is surprising how much stuff has carbs in it.. I think i'm just going to try and stay between 50 and 100g of carbs a day...

Avoid the gluten free; it's full of rubbish and incredibly high in carbs. As someone else said, just substitute stuff for the bread. I used to eat maybe ten or twelve slices a day but now I have four pieces of grain bread on a Sunday as treat. Haven't had white bread in nearly eight months. I don't often miss it, it's just a matter of working around it.
