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.
