Ways to Lose 15 Pounds Fast - The Best Tips You Will Ever Find

Ways To Lose 15 Pounds Fast

Ways to Lose 15 Pounds Fast - The Best Tips You Will Ever Find

Below are some of the best tips I gathered from the web looking for ways to lose 15 pounds fast. It works well, in my personal opinion, since I used to be a slave of my own weight and tried different ways to lose it. By taking one step at a time and being self disciplined with my weight loss program I achieved the ideal weight for my height and age (I used to be 31 lbs over the average weight for my age group!) I cut at least 15 pounds from what I used to be.

• Cut all the fats in your protein.

This was the ultimate sacrifice for me since I'm a meat lover and a happy eater of fats! There was a day that I felt I can't go on without eating even just a slice of meat, with all its fatty tissue where lard is obtained. And I know I'm not alone here. When I was told about the risks of taking too much fats, I knew it right then that I needed to find ways to lose pounds fast. Just any ways to lose 15 pounds fast would be music to my ears!

• Focus on eating only natural, clean-burning foods.

This is easy! Vegetables, fruits, fish and sugar-free diet! And more water.

• A Glass of Lime Juice with Honey Daily.

This helps in the detoxification process and boosting up metabolism. This is a common concoction among Asians and known for its health benefits.

• Eating Paleo-style or South Beach Recipes.

Penne with Eggplant; a personal favorite.

• Exercise. Exercise. And more Exercise.

Every time I hear this word exercise, girls in neon tights and rhythmic moves comes to mind - until I was reminded about jogging, biking and swimming. Exercise is not limited to bending, jumping and stretching alone. Walking is one form of exercise; 45 minutes a day will do. The main purpose of exercise is to burn those calories and convert your fats into muscles if you want to get your body in shape.

Instead of skipping meals, swap your food and boost your metabolism. Starvation diet is not advisable and it's not one of the best ways to lose 15 pounds fast. Our bodies must burn more calories to lose fat and our body uses most of the calories for energy when we eat, if we eat more calories than our body's usage, it will then be stored as fat. So some weight loss diets advise us to skip our regular food in order to cut down the calories' intake. The fact is, although we will lose weight if we do not consume enough calories per day... But on the other hand, we will also lose energy...

Increasing your metabolism will help your body to process food faster and help to store less fat in your body.

To sum it all up, one of the best ways to lose 15 pounds fast is to keep your metabolism at work. We can still take the same amount of food as long as it's low in fat and sugar-free. =)

Eating By Way Of Evolution - Is It For You?

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

For anybody examining doing the hunter-gatherer diet, it is really well worth investigating further. This nutrition program was brought to public attention in the early 1970's. It has consequently faded out from the spotlight only to show up all over again in the late 1980's.

Eating By Way Of Evolution - Is It For You?

Many studies have been done with regards to evolutionary diet just like this particular specifically. The diet program itself is referred to as under several different names that include, the Paleolithic diet, the paleo diet, the caveman diet, the Stone Age diet, the hunter gatherer diet and perhaps more.

Just where did the diet originate from?

The total weight loss program is based upon the assumption that modern day people have developed over a great number of years. It happens to be through this progression in our anatomical makeup that our systems have adapted to chow down and process certain foods. This entire philosophy has produced universal debate.

Is it a dietary fad?

A dietary fad is something that comes and disappears out of fashion and loses the interest to the subsequent up-and-coming popular diet. Nevertheless, the paleo weight loss program is getting more scientific and researcher focus in terms of monitored studies every single year.

Unique mixtures of carbohydrate to necessary protein quotients are now being examined to ascertain maximum effects during this structure of diet.

Dr. Lauren Cordain is a big advocate of the stone age diet, and has proven to be wrong many opposing forces who try to bump this approach of eating. When he is doing this, he does back up the argument with concrete past and present experience facts. It is easy for somebody to come in and point out that the diet plan ranks below the very best 20 highest in the USA. We will need to pay attention to who's performing these studies, in cases like this it was a us government department. Will we really put your trust in these folks with our well being?

There is a non-westernized group or community in Papua New Guinea. This colony has not been westernized in the slightest shape or form plus they take in ingredients very much like evolution should have us do it. What happens? They just don't suffer from standard Western ailments of which North Americans suffer from. Things like heart disease, excessive weight or strokes are effectively avoided by the way these folks eat. The best way we're designed to eat. The links to any and all modern American diseases are without a doubt linked to the way we eat. Not to mention the drugs we are given.

Getting started with this new technique of eating.

First of all, our ancestral roots would always hunt, they use to catch fish and forage during the pre-agriculture age. It's understandable that we need to ingest more grass fed animal meat. Cows eat grass, and have absolutely become more refined to eat grass, how come feedlots serving them with corn and injecting these with drugs? That would be totally unnatural and it's food source that we have to avoid. So we need to search for grass fed protein, sea food, berries and nuts as well as veggies.

To conclude, a lot of information can be located on the web to backup the Paleolithic diet, and it is all worth considering.

Ready For The Paleo Diet? Here Are Some Simple Meal Suggestions

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

When you're first starting on the Paleo diet, it might seem difficult to put together a few meals each day due to seemingly limited food choices. The truth is that there are actually a lot of great options available to you with this lifestyle, and if you plan ahead it will be easier not to fall off the wagon particularly in the beginning month or two that you're getting use to the different diet.

Ready For The Paleo Diet? Here Are Some Simple Meal Suggestions

Here are some suggestions for Paleo meals that include breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. It's also important to note that you don't absolutely have to eat three meals each and every day. You can and should feel free to skip meals of fast.

Paleo Breakfast Ideas
Breakfast suggestions include: steak and eggs (a nicely marinated steak would be absolutely delicious!), or a breakfast scramble complete with scrambled eggs mixed in with sautéed vegetables of your choice such as bell peppers, onions, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, or artichoke hearts. You can also have bacon and eggs or a bowl of fruit.

Paleo Lunch and Snack Ideas
For a quick and easy lunch, try a sandwich alternative by wrapping sandwich meat and vegetables in a large leaf of lettuce or cabbage. Another easy solution is a salad. Be sure to include plenty of greens such as lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, and spinach, and top them with a generous amount of meat so that you can get plenty of protein. Most on-the-shelf salad dressings will not be Paleo Diet friendly, so you can make some of your own with vinegar and olive oil. To make your salad extra delicious, add some toppings such as bacon, olives, almonds, or avocado.

For snacks, it's easy to stick with raw veggies, nuts, and some limited fruit.

Paleo Dinner Ideas
For dinner, you will want to focus on a strong protein-rich meat alongside seasonal vegetables of any kind. Purchase grass-fed or pasture-raised animal meats, and if that doesn't seem possible in your area, the next best thing is ensuring that you're getting the leanest meats. It's important to remember that when you're cooking, you will want to use oils that come from tree nuts and fruits (e.g. extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil).

Paleo Beverage Ideas
Your best bet is sticking with water -- filtered tap water that comes right out of your faucet. Invest in a filter that mounts on your faucet or simple filtration pitchers. Additional options for beverage include coconut water (a healthier alternative to sports drinks), mineral water and seltzer water (just as long as there is no sugar or other sweeteners in it).

These are just a few ideas to get the wheels turning on ideas of Paleo meals you can enjoy. You may also want to check out some of the Paleo Diet Cookbooks that are available so that you can have recipes ready at your fingertips at all times.

Paleo Meal, Return To The Foods Your Metabolism Remembers

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

The Paleo Diet is not actually a diet but a return to the basic foods of our ancestors, the Caveman. The paleo meal consists of a lean meat or fish entree, prepared fresh vegetables, followed by fresh fruit. The paleo diet is easy to follow because it is basic food that is fresh. Processed or genetically engineered foods nor dairy was a part of the caveman diet and of course neither were soft drinks. Many changes in our diet have taken place since the era of the caveman and none so drastic as moving from the diverse diet that once allowed us to live a disease free life to that of the agricultural era. About 10,000 years ago the age of the diverse natural diet or the Paleo Meal saw a big change. Man decided that instead of hunting and gathering that he would build a house grow his own foods and no longer roam the land foraging for his food. Along with this life came a complete change in his diet because his only food was what he grew and could get in trade.

Paleo Meal, Return To The Foods Your Metabolism Remembers

Manual labor and limited space caused a diverse diet to be confined to foods such as wheat, corn, barley, and oats. This limited diet caused vitamin deficiencies and consequently their health was affected. Many people died mostly from diseases that were a consequence of their diet. One of these diseases was scurvy, which is a deficiency of vitamin C. This disease wiped out villages and left ghost ships sailing the open seas because whole crews would be wiped by this disease. Ship mates would be talking with other crew members and literally die in mid sentence. This of course made transporting trade goods for long distances impossible.

After the discovery that fruits such as oranges and limes could combat this disease, scientists of that era began recognizing the importance of a diverse diet. Eventually apples became a mainstay for ships crew because they could be stored for longer periods and consequently longer trips could be made. British sailors were required, besides their ration of run, to also draw a ration of lime juice for drinking with their rum. Because of this lime ration, British sailors were given the nickname "limies."

Throughout history there have been many incidences that have caused science to look at our diets and recognize the need for a more diverse diet. Somewhere along the way instead of trying to improve our diet the emphasis changed to how to extend the life of our foods. Maybe it was the fear of a food shortage that caused science to start tampering with genetics and adding chemicals to our foods to preserve their shelf life or maybe it was just basic greed.

We are now living in a society that raises animals that do not even resemble the animals that our ancestors ate. The animals of the caveman era were lean and muscle bound and could fight or flee, some of our modern animals have been so genetically altered that they can no longer walk let alone run.

Our processed foods are so laced with chemicals and artificially created that we have to look at the picture on the box to see what the product is supposed to be. Our drinks contain so much refined sugar and chemical additives that our liver doesn't know what to do with it. We have become a society that eats with our taste buds, if it doesn't taste good than it is "gross" and we won't eat it. Doctor your food with refined sugar, sodium nitrate (salt), MSG, butter, cheese, sour cream, and a million other artificial coloring and flavors and its fit to eat. Nutrition means nothing, we look on the box to see how many calories it contains and if it is "low carb" then we have found something "healthy."

So what is the alternative? The Paleo Diet is the alternative and even though it is not actually a diet you will lose weight. It places you back in touch with your metabolism by providing the food that your body, by its gene poll, has been programmed to digest and readily use.

As an experiment, substitute your evening meal for a Paleo meal for a period of two weeks. You will not have to starve yourself or empty out your pantry to do this experiment. Your body will begin rebuilding and in a few days you will be sleeping better, wake up more alert, and have a renewed vitality, and all of this will take place by simply adding one Paleo meal to your diet. Check out other articles and recipes on the Paleo Diet and see what more to expect.

Paleo Diet and recipes

Paleo Chili Recipe! For the Paleo Diet

So maybe you are thinking that a Plaeo diet could be too much of an issue and that you are not actually ready for the change. Well you are quite incorrect in fact nothing could be more simpler than a Paleo diet and recipes are as easily available as is adjusting your regular recipes. Paleo diet recipes are neither boring or complicated the only difference is that meals will be wholesome, flavoursome and healthy.

You will notice that meals consist of approximately 60-70% protein (animal) with the balance being fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

GRAIN (all grain products) and DAIRY (all dairy products) are EXCLUDED totally from the Paleo diet and recipes.

It is very important to source fresh, organic, natural and wild produce and seasonal if possible - this has the added benefit of being carbon footprint friendly.

Your main meal for the day can be adjusted according to your personal lifestyle. An easy way to creating Paleo recipes is to start off with one of your regular recipes and substitute the 'cannot have' with a 'can have' ingredient ie spaghetti bolognaise - omit the pasta and substitute with 'spaghetti' strips of blanched zucchini. Personally I prefer to use the zucchini strips raw but it is up to the individual.

Possible options of meals:

Breakfast:

  1. 2 eggs scrambled with diced tomato and mushroom
  2. Bowl of fruit salad with nuts and cashew cream
  3. Vegetable fritters
  4. Liver and bacon with grilled tomato.
  5. Fruit smoothy of choice eg banana, berries and fresh coconut blended with ice cubes etc.
  6. Grilled fish with grilled tomato and mushroom.
  7. 2 Egg omelette with Paleo filling of choice.

Midday and evening meals

These can be adjusted according to your daily routine.

  1. Mushroom burger with salad (burger patty between to large brown mushrooms)
  2. Roast meat of choice, vegetables and salad
  3. Meat stew with vegetable bake and salsa
  4. Bolognaise - made with zucchini spaghetti
  5. Seafood, avocado and fresh asparagus salad
  6. Chunky soup of choice.
  7. Steak, roasted vegetables on bed of fresh rocket.
  8. Chili con carne - Paleo style - see recipe below:

Salad Dressings/sauces

Sauces and dressings may be used to enhance your meals. An all time favourite dressing being the combination of honey, lemon juice, seasoning and fresh, finely chopped herbs of choice mixed gently or blended together.

Dessert

That is right - DESSERT!!! Paleo food diet recipes or menu is INCLUSIVE of dessert and this is where your creativity and imagination can run wild. Apple tart made with a crushed pecan nut base, berry sorbet, lemon granite are but a few ideas.

Against the Grain - The Paleo Diet For Gluten Free Living

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

What Is The Paleo Diet? Also called the Caveman or Stone Age Diet, the Paleo (short for the Paleolithic Era) is a simple diet of foods eaten by our forefathers prior to the agricultural era. Okay, let me stop you right here. Get the picture of one your dirty, long-haired, animal skin loin-wearing caveman ancestors sitting around a dark cave gnawing on a burnt saber toothed tiger leg out of your mind right now. Rather, this is one of most down to earth and sensible approaches to eating that dates back to over 10,000 years ago.

Against the Grain - The Paleo Diet For Gluten Free Living

If you need to follow a gluten free and/or dairy free diet, maybe you have been diagnosed with Celiac's disease, then the Paleo diet is the recommended diet of choice. The reason is because this diet is gluten, dairy and preservative free, is high in protein, and consists of many of the same foods that our hunter ancestors ate.

Loren Cordain, Ph.D. is credited with the Paleo diet after devoting his life to the genetic evolution of eating that our ancestors practiced. You can be assured that cavemen did not eat sugar, processed food such as Doritos, Big Macs, chocolate milk, OR any grains. Once foods are "processed", they are hardly recognizable as the fresh food it started out as, essentially losing most of its nutrients. So the next time you grab the antibiotic riddled, steroid-injected hamburger meat to mix with the "God only knows what's in it" hamburger helper, you are NOT giving your body the basic nutrition it needs. Is it any wonder that these overly-processed foods are related to obesity, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, among other things?

The Paleo diet does include certain foods that our ancestors did not eat that is good for us such as beans. It also includes lean meat and poultry (no skin), organ meat such as liver, fish, shellfish, fruits, vegetables excluding the starchy ones such as potatoes and yams, eggs, nuts and seeds (no peanuts), herbs and spices, unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk, coconut butter. This is not a detailed list of meats, fruits, veggies, etc., but just a generalized list because the Paleo diet is all about eating a wide variety of healthy food.

Foods to be eaten in moderation are oils such as olive, canola and vegetable, soda, tea coffee and fruit juice, dried fruit.

Some of the changes you will notice in your body is that since Paleo food is heavy with nutrients, it may take your body some time to adjust to these changes in vitamin intake. Also, the amount of toxins you take in will be greatly decreased. You should notice increased energy by consuming less carbs as well. Because the diet is high in protein, you will experience less hunger. On this diet, you don't have to eat at set times, but rather only when you are hungry.

The Paleo diet is a simple and natural diet to follow and makes it easy to incorporate gluten free, preservative free, and dairy free recipes into your busy lifestyle. This diet makes big promises and if you follow it faithfully, it will truly deliver.

The Easy Vegetable Soup Diet

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

A vegetable soup diet is an incredible way to both lose weight and pack your body full of nutrients. There's different approaches you can take to a vegetable soup diet. You can go all out and do an exclusive vegetable soup diet, or you can simply replace it with a few of your meals, which will cut down your overall caloric intake, while adding a horde of new nutrients to your diet you normally wouldn't get. Whichever way you go about your vegetable soup diet, it's important to keep a few things in mind.

The Easy Vegetable Soup Diet

Just buying canned vegetable soup from the store is not the way to go for a true vegetable soup diet. The sodium content is through the roof and the vegetable content is often weak. This can easily lead to bloating and a false sense of nourishment and nutrition.

Standard vegetable soup diet recipes tend to involve adding a lot of salt to the mix causing the broth to once again contain a high level of sodium. And many vegetable soup diet recipes call for potato's which have a relatively high glycemic index count which one may not want when their goal is to lose weight with the vegetable soup diet.

So whats the answer to going about creating the easiest, healthiest vegetable soup diet? Use a food processor and/or juicer. A good inexpensive option I've come across is the juicer put out by the fitness guru Jack Lalanne. This isn't a plug, it's just a relatively cheap machine that i've found kills two birds with one stone. And it's easy as you don't have to stand around and peel all your vegetables. Most of them you can just stick right in the machine. What happens is you get a puree juice from the vegetables, and you also get the left over "pulp" as well in a separate container. This makes it perfect for a vegetable soup diet. You get both the broth and leftover vegetable chunks at the same time. Now of course for your vegetable soup diet you can also add your own cut up fresh vegetables. I make a tomato soup this way and then throw in fresh broccoli and bits of green pepper. This is not only good, but amazingly filling for a vegetable soup diet! You can also add in some fresh herbs or spices and you have a very unique, tasty, and filling vegetable soup diet that you'd never find in a can.

2 Years on Raw Paleo Diet Testimonial

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Raw Paleo Diet is the original human diet before agriculture. Raw Paleo Diet is raw fruit, raw vegetables and raw organic / wild fatty animal food. The theory is that the human body is one of nature's best creations. We are self healing and always healthy given the original human diet. As a foundation to curing most diseases, sticking to a raw paleo diet every day will bring dramatic, sustainable results.

2 Years on Raw Paleo Diet Testimonial

My raw paleo diet adventure came about with my desperate search for the cure for everything that afflicted me. The challenges to my life always needed a solution. Being trained as an engineer, a computer geek, a problem solver, led me to finding ultimate solutions or else.

Born in 1969, I grew up just like every urban kid on baby formula, drugs, some fast food, lots of cooked food and following the debunked food pyramid of high cooked carbs and low fat.

When I was a child I was diagnosed with asthma and doctors prescribed anti-histamine drugs. When I had cystic acne at 16, dermatologists bombarded me with steroid injections and creams. Finally one decided I should take an experimental drug called Ro-Accutane. We had to go to the drug company main office and sign a waiver for their drug was experimental and severe side effects were possible.

In 2004 while visiting the beaches of Boracay I got bit by sandflies and suffered for 2 whole years of itching all over my arms and legs. After months on steroid injections and steroid creams, I gave up and just let it be and in 2006 the suspected leishmaniasis went away.

All throughout my life I had foliculitis, got red splotches on my body when I took a bath, got easily faintly tired with strenuous activity, had heart burns, left rotation shoulder pain, was hospitalized for various unknown viral diseases and had some heart murmur called mitral valve prolapse and became obese at 170 pounds and wore 38″ waistline pants.

Beginning with my spouse and I's secondary infertility adventure in 2002 led us to clean up our diet eliminating junk foods and eliminating anything not edible from being put on our skin and throwing away the microwave oven. And using raw oysters to increase sperm counts.

In the same 2002 while trying to conceive I came down with an unknown viral illness, was hospitalized for 3 days, then suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome for 1 month. The heart doctor who ordered a battery of tests said nothing came out of the tests so he wanted to shape my heart by prescribing a heart shaping medicine called beta blockers but it may kill off my erections! This was so unacceptable to my core personality as I only had one child and my life goal was at least more than 4. I sternly refused the drugs and found out that by merely eliminating all sources of caffeine I was able to cure myself in 3 weeks.

When my 2nd child was born in September 2003 I was obese at 170 pounds, I desperately wanted to lose weight to look sexy enough to have more children. I blindly attempted to follow a cooked Atkins diet. I then sought the teachings of a mainstream western medicine nutritionist and she taught me the way to reduce weight was to reduce the starches and up the vegetables. I did lose weight and maintained some 140 pounds for some time. But I still was not healthy.

In 2003 a small eczema began on my lower right leg, it was a good itch, I paid no mind to it. It became full blown in middle of 2005 I had full blown eczema with the size of a steak on my right leg, on my whole face, my ears, my left arm. I was a mess, I could not work, I could not go out, all 5 doctors I saw told me I was INCURABLE and I was going to be this way for the rest of my life.

The incurable diagnosis was unacceptable for me. I was always the open minded type. No DOGMA was my motto in life. I'm an engineer, a problem solver, if these so called "doctors" said I was incurable, it only meant THEY DID NOT KNOW the cure and that their common educational foundation was AMISS. I had to find people who DID KNOW the cure... NON-DOCTORS so I drove to a far away town where there were NO western medical doctors, and my true health learning journey began with a 3rd generation herbalist named Manang Lorna.

I learned about electro-medicine, herbs and detoxing: kidney cleanses, liver flushes, colon cleanses and many other cleanses which eliminated my eczema symptoms. Free of eczema symptoms. But I wanted more. I wanted vibrant health. I knew there was more and I wanted to be healthy so bad I just had to learn more. All detox and no diet change meant no real cure.

In 2007 I had stumbled onto raw veganism through Dr. Tam Mateo. I tried 2 months of raw veganism his way, his recipes, his consultation, but I got too thin and finally gave up raw veganism. I added cooked meat and rice again to my diet and to gain weight.

I was then ready for fasting and I tried a 14 day orange juice fast under the tutelage of Barefoot Herbalist MH. It was an eye opener. I got rid of cooked meat and rice addiction. I was ready to try raw fruitarian. And I did try raw fruitarian which only lasted me 2 months. I was getting thinner on raw fruitarian than raw vegan plus I felt cold and I was living in a tropical country, in warm Manila at 25 to 30 degrees celcius. What finally knocked me to stop the fruitarian madness was when I asked for support as to when my cold feelings would stop. A long time fruitarian said it would take 5 years! That did it, I had to find something else.

I stumbled onto the Wai Diet by Wai Genriiu (A form of Raw Paleo Diet). It was an easy step from fruitarian to Wai Diet, just add extra virgin olive oil and raw fish sashimi and raw egg yolks to my tropical fruits. Bam! Instant feeling of good health! I gained sane enough weight from 112 to 120 pounds on Wai Diet. The addition of raw meat to my meat less 4 months was a life giving breath to my health.

After 3 months on Wai Diet I got bored with just sea food, why not try land animals? I stumbled onto Aajonus Vonderplanitz who went on and on about the benefits of raw land animals, raw beef, raw chicken, plus raw dairy.

I needed some hand holding, some support to get me started and I found Geoff Purcell (in the UK) at AllExperts.com very accessible. He and Craig Bates started up Raw Paleo Forum which was very helpful for newbies like me.

I experimented with various raw land animals with duck, chicken, goat, lamb, frogs and liked raw organic grass fed beef the best... the legendary grass fed Batangas beef with yummy yellow fat is true! I experimented with many kinds of raw dairy from goat, cow and carabao and all failed, I just could not digest dairy, I realized I was lactose intolerant. My tummy also disagreed with raw green juicing.

I got curious about the Homo Optimus Diet involving cooked pork, I made my one month experiment and felt my health was inferior on cooked meat compared to raw meat.

I found out that on raw paleo diet of organic fruit and raw fatty organic animal foods, I never got sick for a whole year. I felt invincible. This was a first for me, going on and on everyday expecting not to get sick. The only times I felt sick were the times I tried eating a non-raw paleo diet. Plus for the first time I've got bicep muscles on my arms and I'm a sedentary computer geek. Gosh, that talk about eating raw meat will make you put on muscles without gym exercises are true.

In 2009 I shifted to a high fat low carb raw paleo diet and I found it to be even more comfortable. Gone were the shaky hungry feelings characterized by hypoglycemia which I thought was normal throughout my life when every meal time comes.

Raw paleo diet is the easiest diet I have been on although high quality organic fruit and organic meat is expensive. Raw Paleo Diet is even easier than regular SAD or cooked paleo diet. Being free from the shackles of cooking is a dream that must be experienced. It seems I have found "home" as raw paleo diet is so easy even a caveman can do it.

To even further my access to the best foods possible I moved my company office to Cubao, just beside my favorite wet market "Farmers Market" for daily fresh marketing.

My diet these days is a high raw fat, low carb diet composed of:

* raw organic low glycemic local fruits in season - high vitamin C fruits (guava, papaya, indian mangoes), hydrating fruits (watermelon, melon), fatty fruits (durian, coconuts) we follow the seasons

* raw fertilized duck eggs flown in from Palawan

* raw grass fed fatty Batangas beef and sometimes raw goat or raw lamb

* various raw sea food like oysters, clams, small and big fish, sea prawns, etc.

* No supplements. No supplements can match the power of real food.

Raw paleo diet and its variants is curative. My own small children have experienced eating raw paleo diet themselves. When the kids are sick I put them on a raw paleo diet same as mine, they know the cure for their illness is RAW because they experience immediate relief. The kids know who the healthiest person at home is these days.

At the end of this year 2009 I will have been 2 years on raw paleo diet and I now weigh a more respectable 128 pounds with a short height of 5′5″ and 31″ waistline pant size. Always expecting to achieve new health heights over the next years as I fine tweak and continually adjust. All my health issues have been resolved. It has only been these 2 years I have ever felt truly healthy.

Today at 40 years old I look younger, slimmer and have more strength than when I was 30. It is on raw paleo diet that I realized that humans were meant to be healthy and stay healthy, effortlessly.

Paleo Diet - Juice Diet Detox

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

The Paleo Diet is not really a diet, it is a change in your eating habits and one of the best way to start this process is through an initial juice diet detox. Some people think that the juice diets are just a fad, but actually it is far from a fad. It is not only a great way to cleanse your body of toxins that we have accumulated through our diet and through the air that we breathe but also a means to strengthen our immune system and lose a few pounds.

Paleo Diet - Juice Diet Detox

Those vegetables and fresh fruits that we have overlooked in our diet for so long can be processed into a juice that you can drink in just a few swallows. Imagine vegetables such as kale, mustard greens, spinach, broccoli and carrots, that you probably hate, all in an 8 ounce glass that you can drink in one sitting. This juice is only one of many such recipes that you can process in your own home and with very little cost. All that is necessary is to buy a .00 juicer and whatever vegetables or fruits you desire.

Drinking fresh vegetable juice allows you to consume more vegetables than you would normally be able to eat. An average person can easily consume 1 lb. of raw vegetables per 50 lbs of body weight, an amount that many dieticians recommend as our daily requirement for good health.

Besides the benefit of a juice diet detox there is also a quick weight loss and these three other benefits;

1. Easy to metabolize. Vegetables and fruits in the juice form are easy for the body to process. Your body can put this juice to work revitalizing all your metabolic functions almost instantly with little in the way of byproducts. These nutrients are part of the Paleo Diet which focuses on the natural products of the earth.

2. Slows your metabolism. Juices are digested effortlessly by your body which causes your metabolism to slow down, this means that you will feel full longer thus reducing additional food intake causing you to eat less.

3. Your weight loss. You can expect to lose 2 to 3 pounds per day on this juice diet detox. This may seem to be a lot of weight loss, but with raw nutrients without the bulk of the fiber these numbers are very possible. However, this rapid weight loss is a shock to your body and once it recovers and attempts to adjust it finds that it cannot sustain on juice alone. This is why it should be used as a preliminary diet prior to starting off on the Paleo diet and not last longer than a week.

For years such celebrities as Jack LeLanne have attempted to make the public aware of the benefits of juices. Jack lived to be 96 years old and still worked out every morning and drank his morning juices.

Before starting off on a juice diet detox you need to consult with your doctor. This detox may be detrimental to people that are on certain types of medication or are already weak from disease.

How To Create A Delicious Paleo Meal

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

In the last year or so, many people have tried and loved the Paleo diet. The two main things that people love about it, is how straight forward it is and the fact that it involves real and healthy food. Making a Paleo meal is relatively easy as long as you have some basic ingredients. If you buy a piece of lean meat and three different types of vegetables you can make a fantastic Paleo meal. The meat can be seared, stewed, poached or baked and the vegetables can be boiled, steamed or just eaten raw. Knowing the basics and a little bit of practice will allow you to turn any 4-5 ingredients into a flavoursome, filling and healthy lunch or dinner.

How To Create A Delicious Paleo Meal

If you want to keep it really easy, just go for steak and eggs, as they are two very important ingredients of the Paleo diet and are both quite versatile foods. A great recipe is to get hold of a decent size piece of steak, two eggs, three tablespoons of ghee or tallow and some paprika. You heat the pan with three tablespoons of ghee or tallow on medium-high heat. Season the steak with the paprika and add it to the hot frying pan. For a medium-rare steak, cook for 4 minutes, turning once, or if you want it well done, allow about 8 minutes. After the steak has been cooked to you liking, remove it from the pan and add the two eggs to the pan and cook for about three minutes. When they are done, place the eggs on top of the steak and voila! Dinner is served!

If you are more of a seafood-lover you should try a fantastic Paleo meal called: Grilled scallops with a red pepper sauce. To create this winner you will need 14 large scallops, 1 tbs of coconut oil, 1 lemon, 1 large red pepper (roasted), 1 clove of garlic and 2 tbs of olive oil. Start off by cutting the lemon in half and squeezing the juice of half a lemon over the scallops and set aside. To make the red pepper sauce, combine the juice of the remaining half lemon, the olive oil, the garlic and the pepper (seeds and stalk removed) in a food processor and blend until you get a smooth consistency. Pour all the sauce into a saucepan and heat it up over medium heat. While the sauce is heating, brush a grill pan with the coconut oil and once it is really hot, cook the scallops for about 3-4 minutes on each side. When the scallops are done place them on a plate and cover with the delicious red pepper sauce.

Finally, a Paleo meal recipe for all you chicken fans out there called: Chicken legs with angel hair cabbage. This is a very simple dish that only requires three ingredients: chicken legs, angel hair cabbage and a green onion. Start off by cooking the legs of chicken over medium heat in the pan. After the chicken has been in the pan for one minute, add a little bit on water to the pan, which later will become your chicken broth. When the chicken legs are done, remove them from the pan, but leave the chicken broth. Add the green onion (cut finely) and the angel hair cabbage to the pan and cook until soft (not mushy). Place the onion and cabbage mix to a plate and place the chicken legs on top. Deliciousness!

These are just three out of many Paleo meals you can make. There are a multitude of dishes that can be created using only ingredients from the Paleo diet. You can choose between chicken, meat, seafood, eggs and vegetables, so the possibilities are endless. After your main meal, you can top it all off with a big serving of fresh fruit for dessert to give you a big hit of Vitamin C.

Snack Ideas For The Caveman Diet

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

The Paleolithic diet, also known as the Paleo diet, is a dietary approach that is modeled after the stone age "caveman" food consumption. While practicing this diet, one generally focuses on eating meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. It also includes roots and nuts, but there are exclusions. There are no grain, dairy products, legumes or refined sugar and processed oils. This means that many snacks are automatically disqualified in this diet plan.

Snack Ideas For The Caveman Diet

While there are many items that are not included in the Paleo diet, there are simple things you can keep on hand to eat. Simple planning takes the guesswork out of snack foods on the Paleo diet plan.

FRUITS AND NUTS

There are many types of fruit and nut combinations that you can choose from. Many of these are even made into "eat on the go" bars, eliminating the need to prep food. While having pre-made snacks at home makes it easy to get a quick snack, you can also purchase a wide range of fruits and nuts and mix your own snacks. There are an endless array of combinations, with nuts such as pistachios or macadamias, or more traditional choices such as almonds and pecans, along with all types of dried fruits. You can use honey as a binding ingredient to create your own bars, or simply keep a mix in a baggie for a quick snack.

VEGETABLES

The Paleo diet is an opportunity to explore new vegetables, as well as to consume your favorites. Keep multiple choices on hand, such as fresh tomatoes, carrots, peppers, asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, cauliflower, and squash. These can be eaten fresh, or quickly stir fried for an easy snack. New combinations can be created and used in unique ways.

FRUITS

While fruit intake is supposed to be kept minimal on the Paleo diet, it is fine in moderation. Many fruits are delicious eaten fresh, while many prefer to add some honey for a dessert snack. Ideas for fruits include apples, strawberries, kiwi, bananas and grapes. When purchasing produce, make sure that you consider the shelf life so you don't waste food. One way to make sure your fruit does not spoil is to purchase frozen fruits with a combination of fruits. This is an economically good choice for fruit long term, and the fruit can be thawed in about an hour, or quickly placed in the microwave.

QUICHE

Since the three main foods included in the Paleo diet are eggs, meat and vegetables, then making quiche in bulk and freezing some "mini quiches" are a great way to have a quick snack, or even a full meal. This is a time saver if you make your quiche all at once and simply take a snack out when needed, and adds a delicious snack to your list of options.

There are many other food ideas for snacks while on the Paleo diet. You are limited only by your creativity. The best way to find good snacks is to read up on some recipe ideas, and then keep ingredients on hand. When on any diet, the best chances of success are planning and purpose.

The Paleo diet has been a choice for diets for almost forty years, based on the fact that our bodies haven't changed since the caveman era. The food choices reflect what was eaten at the dawn of mankind, and even today, leaving out the preservatives and eating fresh, healthy food choices makes sense for many reasons.

Why the Paleo Diet May Be the Best Choice for You

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Everybody knows that reducing excess body weight helps in ensuring a healthy life. Considering the numerous cons of obesity and its allied effects, many people are always making plans to shed the excess weight. For this reason, some may rely on dieting, while some others on exercising. There are also many who combine these and may even approach a physician for slimming medications. However, only a small of portion of people who start dieting are able to stick to it for the specified period of time. Tedious working schedules and an irresistible love for junk foods are just two reasons for this.

Why the Paleo Diet May Be the Best Choice for You

However, for those with the willpower to stick to their diet plans to lose the extra pounds, the Paleo diet plan can work wonders. As the name indicates, Paleo refers to the Paleolithic or the ancient style of eating where natural and wild foods formed the staple of the human diet and not the processed foods prevalent today. A diet plan with Paleo meals may thus include food items which do not require much processing and can be consumed in raw form. There are many cook books that offer recipes for the Paleo meals.

According to diet experts, there are many advantages in following the Paleo diet. Many foods and ingredients found in the Paleo diet are not hard to find in everyday grocery stores and markets. Individuals are also not required to check his or her calorie while pursuing this meal plan. Besides the health benefits, one of the biggest advantages of the Paleo diet is that they are very easy and safe to make. People following the Paleo diet can consume meals any time, and not just when they feel hungry. This will not add any kind of excess weight because of its low-calorie nature.

Since the paleo diet demands the use of fresh meat and fruits and vegetables that are completely organic, it may not be always possible to stick to the diet plan. The shortage of such natural food items is the main reason. However, this problem can be solved by approaching experts or going through the various cook books which have a large collection of Paleo recipes. Generally, it is advised that the diet should be continued for at least two weeks without any break to realize the benefits.

When following a diet plan, such as the Paleo diet plan for the first time, you may need to consider many factors. As a first step, it is always best to consult a dietician or nutritional expert to know the details about the Paleo diet. You can also go through various online sites which can help in analyzing the pros and cons associated with the diet and the different methods for cooking the meals in the Paleo diet. Certain sites also offer the diet plans in chart form, which makes it easier to follow. The cook books can be either obtained directly from shops or can be bought online.

Paleo Lunch Options - Great Recipe Ideas

First, what exactly is the Paleo Diet? It's a diet based on eating the way people used to eat, a way that proved to be clean and healthy. There are no, if not very few signs of illness, disease and obesity from those times and that alone shows the health benefits of going Paleo. The Paleo diet revolves around ingredients such as meat that can be hunted or caught and that is preferably naturally fed. Also you can have fruit, seeds and nuts, eggs, vegetables, herbs and spices, oil, and flour. It may be hard for some people to transition because our bodies are so used to preservatives, artificial flavorings, sugar, glucose and other unnatural food, so start with changing one meal a day. Here are some Paleo Lunch Recipes you can enjoy.

Coconut Based Meat Curry - You have a choice of any meat that's considered Paleo with this dish. It is based on 1/2 a pound worth of meat. For the spice blend, you need:

In a pan, sauté onions, garlic and jalapenos in olive oil; after a few minutes add meat and spice powder and mix well. When the spice powder has been blended with the meat and the meat is half cooked (time depends on what meat you're cooking), add coconut milk and let the mixture come to a boil.

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper and coconut oil.

You can also add 1 red onion cut into quarters. Mix all ingredients well and roast in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes. Delicious and healthy!

Paleo Sautéed Chard, Golden Raisin and Pine Nut - You will need:

  • 3 cups of properly washed and dried chard, sliced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • finely chopped garlic (you can also grate the garlic for a more intense garlic taste)
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts

First sauté the garlic and chard then remove from heat and in a bowl mix in all the other ingredients, simple and fast. There are so many more recipes that are easy to make and above all scrumptious! This is a diet that you wouldn't know was so good and healthy for you, so why continue filling yourself with food that does you no good when you can have it all in a Paleo Diet. Try these Paleo lunch ideas and see if you can't make the switch.

Paleo Diet Meal Plan: Your Road Map to Health

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Paleo Diet: Not a Typical Diet

Paleo Diet Meal Plan: Your Road Map to Health

The first thing most people think about when they hear the word "diet" is tasteless, boring, foods that leave you starving. And with most diets this is the case. You pretty much are limited to carrot sticks and half of a dried out chicken breast to stay below your calorie count.

Well with the Paleo Diet, there is no starving or calorie counting involved. All you need to do is eat the foods that our body was so lovingly designed to eat. The food that has been provided for us by mother nature such as game meat, self-fish, vegetables, wild fruits, nuts and healthy fats. No funny shakes, or weird supplements, just real, good old fashion eating.

Some of the benefits of the Paleo Diet are:

-Effortless weight loss
-Increased Energy
-Deeper, more restful sleep
-Smoother, healthier looking skin

Plans Equal Success

We all have goals in different areas of our lives, whether it be moving up in your career, improving family relationships or losing 25lbs. But, just having a goal alone doesn't mean a thing. You need to take action in your life to achieve your goal. Something like applying for new jobs, calling your sibling, or taking a yoga class.

Paleo Diet Meal Plan: Tips for a Successful Paleo Diet

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

This article assumes that you are already familiar with the Paleo diet and now want to adopt it for yourself. The "Paleo diet" has an obscure sounding name and lots of seemingly bizarre rules: no bread or beans? Despite the list of dos and don'ts, the theory is the easy part, the doing it is the hard part.

Paleo Diet Meal Plan: Tips for a Successful Paleo Diet

Eat only what the earliest humans ate.

It's that simple. What isn't so simple is keeping your commitment. If you're like me, or most humans really, goal setting easy. How many New Year's Resolutions have you made? How many have you fulfilled? So before you jump into the Paleo diet only to abandon it a few days in, set yourself up for success.

Make a Paleo diet meal plan

My least favorite part about adopting a new healthy eating regiment is that invariably the cookbooks will list out recipes which require ingredients I don't have. Since you can't buy 1 tablespoon of paprica, I end up buying a whole bottle... and more than I need of countless other ingredients. Meal plans are tedious, boring, and rigid. "I'll just go with the flow," I tell myself. The problem is that going with the flow requires a mastery which I do not yet posses. I need a Paleo diet meal plan because if I don't have one, I'll end up eating unseasoned chicken breast and apples for every meal of every day. That is not sustainable.

You can make a plan yourself or find one online but you need a plan. A goal without a plan is only a fantasy. Map out what you'll eat for the next 1 - 4 weeks. You don't need an exact meal by meal "I have to eat this Tuesday for lunch" but you should have enough meals to get you through. You should also make sure you have enough breakfasts, enough lunches, enough dinners, and enough snacks. Never underestimate snacking. If you don't plan for snacks, you'll either ditch your Paleo diet meal plan immediately and opt for a non-Paleo snack or you'll be so hungry when meal time comes around that you don't stick to the Paleo diet meal plan. You don't want that. Include a variety of foods in case you're just not in the mood for something and make sure you, at least in the beginning, stick with what you know. If you can't prepare, or don't really like, the food you're eating, you won't stick to your Paleo diet meal plan.

Evolve: if humans did it, so can you.

Start with foods you know and like but don't stay there. Gradually introduce new foods into your Paleo diet meal plan over time. Your first week should be only foods you know and love. Your second week, try to eat something new once per day. After that, try to incorporate something new and unusual into every meal. A key component to the Paleo diet is variety. Hunter-Gatherers didn't have the luxury of a grocery store, or even a Paleo diet meal plan; they ate what was available. You need to intentionally branch out in the beginning because we have been conditioned to only eat certain types of food (cereal, bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast; a turkey sandwich for lunch, pasta or casserole for dinner).

Ultimately, a written meal plan and specific commitment are crucial for your success in converting to a Paleo diet. Hey, if humans could do it before the invention of indoor plumbing, I think you can handle it too.

The Paleo Cookbooks - What Are They?

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

The Paleo Cookbooks are the definitive set of downloadable books containing recipes and instructions to help you when undertaking the Diet. These recipe books contain recipes for all occasions from quick and easy snacks to set meals designed for your whole family or more and are designed to make them super easy to find suitable meals and each recipe is designed to make nutritious meals easily.
What is the Paleolithic Diet?

The Paleo Cookbooks - What Are They?

The Paleo Diet is also known as the Paleolithic Diet, caveman diet, Stone Age diet or hunter-gatherer diet. The concept is based on the belief that the human body has evolved very little from the pre agriculture 'Paleolithic' times of mankind's history. It assumes that because our hunter gatherer ancestors did not suffer from many of the common diseases we now do that the diet of paleolithic man must have been better for us. As a result of the paleo diet foods consist mainly of foods that could be hunted and gathered and didn't require farming or milling to produce them. Meat is a staple of all the paleo recipes followed by vegetables and fruit and a small amount of nuts, herbs spices and grains.

The Paleo meals are designed not just to lose weight but also improve the following:

  • Overall health
  • Wellness
  • Longevity
  • Reduce Illnesses
  • Increase Energy

Unlike fad diets this diet is designed to promote a healthier sustainable lifestyle of balanced healthy eating mimicking what our ancestors ate. In fact the Paleo diet meal plans make this more than just a diet, its more of a dietary regimen or a set of principles to help you choose and eat healthier foods.

The Paleolithic diet can trace its origins back to a gastroenterologist named Walter L. Voegtlin. He pioneered the concept of the Paleo diet and since then it has been developed and enhanced by numerous authors and researchers in several books and academic journals. This diet is often recommended as by practitioners of what is commonly known as evolutionary medicine or medicine that was developed by the research into evolution conducted by Charles Darwin.

Banana Diet - 1 of the Easiest Ways to Lose Weight If You Do it Right

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

The banana diet is 1 of the best and easiest ways to help boost your weight loss efforts. It appears there are many versions of this diet... and I also have a version of this diet. A lot of the other versions of this diet just seem plain silly and not very practical.

Banana Diet - 1 of the Easiest Ways to Lose Weight If You Do it Right

Here's an easy to use version that will give you slow, steady weight loss. This is not an extreme diet like you may think.

You may think that the banana diet consists of eating just bananas all day. Wrong! Obviously that isn't very practical or smart. There is just 1 main rule to this diet and another general rule...

Rule #1: Eat 1-2 bananas before each meal... minimum of 3 times a day.

Very simple, huh? Not much to think about. If you eat, you're going to eat 1-2 bananas before your meal. Practical, easy, healthy, and not much to remember.

Before breakfast, eat 2 bananas. Before lunch, eat 2 bananas. Before dinner, eat 1 banana. So you eat 5 total bananas a day.

Rule #2: Eat whatever you want for meals.

This rule is simple... eat whatever you want, just as long as you eat 2 bananas before breakfast, 2 bananas before lunch, and 1 banana before dinner. Obviously eating healthier than normal would help your weight loss efforts even more, but it's not 100% necessary.

Bonus Rule: You can replace 1 banana with an apple before breakfast and lunch.

As mentioned, you can replace a banana with an apple before breakfast and lunch. This is to help relieve possible boredom. Nothing more.

I honestly don't know how much weight you will lose on this or any other diets that use bananas, however you should notice a steady weight loss. It won't be extremely fast, so if that's what you're looking for... forget the banana diet.
