Hey everyone! This is a blog where I will post my family's "paleo" meals. The paleo diet is garden vegetables (especially greens), lean meats, little starch, nuts and seeds, and no sugar.



We really like this diet and it makes us feel great! My sisters sometimes ask when we're going to be done eating like this, and somone responds by saying that we're never going to stop eating like this as a lifestyle. Although sometimes (it's probably more than sometimes) we don't follow it as strictly as we should. We like sweets!! Happy reading!

Processed Foods

Last night for dinner we had fish, brown rice, and zucchini and onions fried in olive oil. Brown rice is healthier than white rice. White rice is more processed and more of the nutrients are taken out. But rice is a starchy food so according to paleo you should not eat rice very often if at all. Zucchini and onions fried in olive oil is pure paleo, and very healthy.

This morning for breakfast we had oatmeal and eggs. We cooked the oatmeal from steel cut rolled oats. This is healthier than regular packaged oatmeal.

Its best to avoid processed foods. Typically that straighter from nature is better from you. Processed foods are typically high in salt, sugar and preservatives.
