What Makes This a Top Selling Diet Program?

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

There is no shortage of diet programs available to anyone thinking about getting in shape, losing weight, or simply wanting to improve their overall health.

What Makes This a Top Selling Diet Program?

Many top selling programs such as Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig follow very specific formulas, and meet the needs of many individuals that require a very regimented "do this" type programs. Furthermore these programs provide extremely high levels of support in terms of focus groups, prepared meals, calorie counting tools, etc. However, these programs can be very expensive, and they may not be for everyone. They also may not convey all of the health benefits of other programs as they are focused more on weight loss than feeding your bodies the fuel they were designed for thanks to evolution.

One top selling program that is less than and yet produces amazing results is the diet solution program. We should take a look at this program to understand why it is not only a top seller, but why thousands of people find it very effective in meeting their goals.

This diet approach was designed by Isabel De Los Rios, a certified exercise specialist as well as a certified nutritionist. The program was originally developed several years ago as a way for Isabel to meet her goals of losing weight, getting in shape, and minimizing future risks of developing diabetes and heart disease. It builds upon what is relatively recent scientific findings around how the type of foods we eat not only affects our weight, but also contributes to the epidemic proportions of cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, and heart disease.

Many people love this diet because it focuses on education as well as specific, easy-to-follow instructions on meal planning, how to eat, etc. Isabel gives you the science behind her recommendations, which allows you to learn how to make intelligent choices anytime you are planning a meal, eating out, or simply snacking between meals.

The principles behind this diet are similar to the concepts associated with the Paleo diet (sometimes called "the caveman" diet). This overlap and shared approach includes:

  • Harmful effects of grains such as cereals, rice, wheat, pasta, and what these foods do to your body when you ingest them.

  • An overview of recent research into the glycemic index, and why you should be very aware of how foods impact your blood sugar and insulin levels.

  • Real facts and data around heavily marketed "healthy" foods and why they aren't as good for you as companies want you to believe (including soy as well as dairy products).

  • Determining your metabolism type using a simple tool, and understanding why this will change the types of food you eat on this diet.

This diet also provides ongoing support and resources aside from the comprehensive program itself:

  • Extensive ongoing support and shared experiences via an online community

  • Tips and tricks, new recipes, the latest research on foods delivered via email a few times a week.

  • Tools to make meal planning simply, with clearly spelled out categories of foods to select portions from for each meal, grocery shopping lists, and a separate recipe guide that will likely have you eating tastier foods than you do now!

  • Concise advice on where to spend your money - which foods should be bought organic and which ones are OK to be conventional.

  • Frank discussion of the now outdated calorie counting model, and why optimal health shouldn't depend on this approach.

  • Justification for feeding your body as much of these food groups as you want, and not feeling hungry day in and day out.

  • Exercise not required to achieve real results - while important for overall health and well being, your starting point is your diet.

This program offers all of the above benefits and more - most importantly, the structure of the information, approach, and tools enable you to quickly incorporate this into your lifestyle. In fact you may not even realize after 2 months how much you have improved your lifestyle and eating habits - but you will notice feeling better and likely fat melting away. For a one time purchase of less than , it is one of the most economical choices you can make today to change your life.

Paleo Diet Recipes: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On first impression you may be thinking that, like most diets, the Paleo diet is going to be too restricting/complicated and mealtimes could become an 'issue'. Not in the least! Do not even consider for a moment that Paleo diet meals and recipes are going to be boring, complicated or lack in variety. Paleo diet recipes result in wholesome flavoursome meals.

Protein plays a vital role in Paleo diet and meals should consist of approximately 60% to 70% percent of your daily food intake. The balance of course being fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds with additional oils used in preparation of the meals such as avocado oil, nut oils etc.

NO GRAIN OR DAIRY IS TO BE CONSUMED

Remember shop fresh, organic, natural and wild. To be totally Paleo, eat seasonal as well - this of course being carbon footprint friendly.

Lunch and dinner Paleo diet recipes and meals can be adjusted according to your own personal lifestyle and requirements. To start out take your usual recipes and merely substitute the 'cannot have' with a 'can have' - you will be amazed how quickly you adjust and how capable you are of making your own Paleo diet recipes.

Some ideas for your three main Paleo diet meals for the day:

Breakfast:

  1. 2 Poached eggs on a bed of lightly panned spinach
  2. Bowl of mixed berries with nuts and cashew cream
  3. A 2 egg omelette with filling of your choice eg - no dairy though
  4. Chicken liver and bacon with grilled tomato.
  5. Fruit smoothy of choice eg banana and nut; berries and fresh coconut blended with ice cubes.
  6. Steamed/grilled fish with grilled tomato and mushroom.
  7. Absolutely nothing wrong with having the leftovers from dinner the night before.

Lunch and Dinners

These can be adjusted according to your daily routine.

  1. Mushroom burger with salad
  2. Roast chicken, vegetables and salad
  3. Meat and vegetable kebab with broccoli and walnut salad
  4. Bolognaise - made with zucchini spaghetti
  5. Prawn, avocado and fresh asparagus salad
  6. Wholesome chunky soup.
  7. Steak, vegetable bake and salad.

Sauces/Dressings

Salads and vegetables can be enhanced with various sauces and dressings eg any easy to make dressing of the combination of honey, lemon juice, seasoning and fresh, finely chopped herbs of choice. Paleo tartar sauce made from Paleo mayonnaise can be added to seafood, be it fish, shellfish or crustacean. A basic Paleo diet recipe for mayo is as follows:

3 - 5 Garlic cloves peeled (large)

Approximately 2 cups of organic olive oil

2 room temperature, lightly beaten free range egg yolks,

juice of 1 organic lemon

small quantity of lukewarm waster

Crush garlic cloves into a paste and add to the lightly beaten egg yolks. Lightly beat with wooden spoon until the mixture turns pale yellow.

While blending the garlic and egg yolk very slowly (drop by drop) add 3 tablespoons of the olive.

Blend gently until the mixture is thick and creamy then add ½ to 1 tablespoon of water and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice.

Continue stirring while adding the olive oil in a very fine stream. If the mixture becomes too thick once again add 1 teaspoon of water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Continue like this until all the oil is used.

Always mix by stirring in one direction only.

Should the mixture split - put it over into a clean bowl and add a teaspoon of lukewarm water and mix continue like this until fixed.

Most important have fun inventing your very own Pale Diet recipes and meals.

Tender BBQ Pork Chops - Some of the Best You Will Ever Taste!

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

You can have tender BBQ pork chops each and every time you barbecue if you take a few extra steps in your preparation. It really is that easy. Oh my goodness, most people think pork chops have to be dry and flavorless, but the reality is so much different than that.

Tender BBQ Pork Chops - Some of the Best You Will Ever Taste!

* two pork chops
* 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. lemon juice
* 3 tbsp. soy sauce
* 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 tsp. light brown sugar
* 1/4 tsp. fresh or dried rosemary
* salt and pepper to taste

Now I did not put garlic in there, but if you ask me garlic goes in almost everything so I would add some chopped or minced garlic to the marinade. You want to bring home the best that you can afford, not cheap pork chops. Pork loin chops are the ones that are the most tender, but sometimes the T-bone chops will work just as well.

And do not buy thin, thin, thin, thinking that you are going to save money. The flavor, taste, and texture will not be there. It does not pay to scrimp sometimes and this is one of those times. Then you will have people eat these and they will be turned off to pork thinking all pork chops are the same.

And That Is Simply Not True!

Trim off all of the extra fat and place your chops in a ziploc bag to marinate in. Thick chops, at least one inch thick. Chill your pork chops for at least one hour. Remove them and place on a plate and let them come to room temperature for about 35 minutes or so. Preheat your barbecue to high.

For tips on getting that high temperature on your grill and keeping it clean you can check out our opt-in newsletter where we have a lot of barbecuing tips and hints. Now for the tender BBQ pork chops, take them to the high heat portion of your barbecue and grill them for about 6 minutes, turning them halfway through. Then you can move them to a cooler section of the grill to finish cooking. Cook/barbecue/grill them for another 6-9 minutes.

When they are done, the juices should run clear as in chicken. And of course you can always use your instant read thermometer. And this is how you have tender BBQ pork chops which you have grilled on your barbecue. It is that easy. The Pork Foundation recommends that your pork chops are done and can be pulled at 160 degrees internally so you are safe if you follow their directions.

Best Sugar Cookie Recipe?

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

There is nothing like a great sugar cookie recipe. Don't buy the roll of Pillsbury Dough, you can make a superb cookie that will remind you of the days when Grandma made them.

Best Sugar Cookie Recipe?

Grandma used to sit by the fire and drink her tea and Grandpa used to sip his coffee made from his French Press, before it was trendy. I loved seeing them sit there enjoying the day. When we walked in the house there were smells coming from the kitchen you just couldn't imagine. The sweet smell of warm sugar cookies invaded your senses. You knew today was going to be a treat.

It was a tradition that we enjoyed every year. The kitchen was filled with flour storms and the counters were sticky from Buttercream frosting. We had tin cookie cutters spread all over the table. I liked the boot best, my sister liked the angel.

Grandma had a special way with those cookies and she handed down the recipe to me. I was to teach my kids how to make these wonderful holiday sweets. It wouldn't be Christmas time without this recipe of Yummy cookies.
I am publishing it because I want you to enjoy the best sugar cookie recipe ever.

Grandma's Favorite Sugar Cookie

1 cup white sugar

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs beaten

1 tsp cream of tarter

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

4 cups flour

½ cup corn oil

Cream the sugars and butter together. Mix the beaten eggs, vanilla and corn oil, in. Add the dry ingredients .Mix all the ingredients well and chill overnight.
Bake at 375 F for 8-10 minutes....DO NOT OVERCOOK.

We used to make the funniest colors to decorate the cookies, most of them looked inedible. They tasted heavenly, though. We figured if we made them look gross enough, the adults would leave them alone. We were wrong. Everyone knew they were Grandma's famous sugar cookies from her handed down recipe book. This page was splattered with all sorts of colors. I have that book now. I love making these cookies with my kids.

Grandma's Favorite Frosting (don't forget the food coloring)

2 cups of powdered sugar

½ cup butter melted

1 ½ T Milk

1 tsp vanilla

Cream sugar, butter and vanilla. Add a small amount of milk (1 to 2 tablespoons). Beat until fluffy. If frosting is too sweet add a little more milk.

Try it this season. Enjoy your family and brew some wonderful tea or coffee and relax. Take the time to make memories with your family or neighbors or friends.

Planning Your Paleo Meals is Key to a Successful Paleo Diet

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

If you have recently learnt about the paleo diet, you'll have come across one the biggest hurdles anyone new to the paleo diet must face: where do I find my paleo recipes and ingredients and how do I plan my paleo meals correctly?

Planning Your Paleo Meals is Key to a Successful Paleo Diet

Most people when starting out on any diet begin with lots of motivation. They manage to stick with it for a couple of days, and all goes very well. After this lovely, motivated feel-good-about-yourself period however, most people will tend drop the diet altogether. Let us take a look at why that is.

The first reaction of most people will be: "This is too hard"! They will have run out of healthy ingredients in the fridge, they'll be invited by a friend to go eat in a restaurant with nothing remotely paleo friendly on the menu, and generally it all goes to pieces. When deciding the follow the paleo diet, it is extremely important that you take some time to plan your new dietary lifestyle. Motivation is what gets us all started, but it is discipline and planning that keep you going.

Let us take a look at what you will need:

- a comprehensive Paleo recipe list

If you can only think of three recipes for dinner, two for breakfast and a salad for lunch, chances are that you will be finding this very dull indeed. Having easy access to an extensive recipe book for all occasions is an absolute must.

- A fridge and even more important: a freezer!

Leading the busy life most of us have, there will always be times when you don't have what you need in the fridge. When you're hungry and tired, you'll grab whatever is left. The way you can fix this is by cooking large portions whenever you do cook! I always try to freeze an additional portion ready for use for when the inevitable moment of the empty fridge comes around.

- A fixed day to go shopping

There are quite a few places where you can buy paleo friendly ingredients, but Unless you're very lucky, you won't find them all in the same shop around the corner. Try to pick a fixed day every week, or every two weeks, where you can make time to go grocery shopping.

Selecting your paleo meals for the week should be fun. Browsing through recipes, planning your grocery list and buying the ingredients you need doesn't have to be tedious. By going about this in an organized manner, you will turn your diet that started by motivation into a daily habit. This is the key to success in the paleo diet.

If afterwards you are invited by a friend, and you find yourself cheating on your diet - you will be able to handle it much better. Having a fridge and a freezer ready for you next day full of healthy goodies will motivate you into sticking with your diet.

Discover The 7 Amazing Benefits of Paleo Diet Cookbooks

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Paleo cookbooks what? This is probably your first reaction when you saw the headline of this article. Well, to be honest with you, not many people are aware of the so-called Paleo (read: Paleolithic) diet.

Discover The 7 Amazing Benefits of Paleo Diet Cookbooks

To give you an overview, the Paleo diet is a nutrition program that closely resembles the diet of our Paleolithic ancestors. There are several books and studies about this type of diet. Advocates of the Paleo nutrition contend that the diet of Stone Age cavemen consisted primarily of proteins and fats. These gave them enough energy and nourishment that enabled them to build strong and trimmed muscles. The basic nutrition of Paleolithic humans also helped them to avoid affluence or lifestyle diseases which are very common nowadays.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to follow the original diet of our Paleolithic ancestors. That is because modern staples have generally relied on grain-based, poultry-supplied, and processed foods. And these foods are not included in Paleo nutrition. So it is not surprising to see some people experiencing difficulties in following the Paleo diet.

If you are planning to start a diet based on Paleolithic nutrition, then you need a comprehensive cookbook that will help you to prepare your food. Here are some of the most important benefits that you can enjoy if you have handy Paleo recipes.

1. Preparing your food would be much easier.
2. You can ensure that you will follow your diet.
3. You still get to eat tasty and delicious meals.
4. You will never get bored with your nutrition program.
5. You can effectively plan your meals everyday.
6. You can prepare a Paleo meal even if you are always on the go.
7. Most important of all, you can ensure that your meals are healthy and nutritious.

With these benefits, who would not want to have Paleo diet cookbooks?
