Paleo Diet Snacks – Presenting the Quickest Way to Get Heaps of Incredible Paleo Snack Recipes
See, I discovered quite a large number of recipes that were supposed to be "Paleo-friendly" from an all-in-one-place recipe website but the problem was...
Those recipes did not adhere to guidelines set by the Paleolithic diet rules!
Now, I understand that some people do not follow the rules vigorously, thus may wish to add one or two non-Paleo food ingredients to enhance the flavor of a particular recipe - but still...
Great tasting Paleo diet snacks recipes were very difficult to find!
Okay to cut a long story short, I finally uncovered a really quick way to obtain heaps of not only snacks, but also Paleo appetizer, main course, dessert and even special sandwich and noodle recipes that can all be prepared without breaking the Paleo guidelines.
Here's how you do it...
What you should do is access a registration-free Paleo diet foods discussion site. The members in discussion/chat sites are very generous and they're always willing to share helpful information including recipes and resources for the benefit of all Paleo diet practitioners
In fact, one of the site members (Special thanks to user name:paleocaveguy82) was so kind enough to point me to a site where I was able to download digital cookbooks containing more than 300 Paleo recipes. Incredible stuff!
Now, I have all sorts of ideas on how to conceive Paleo diet snack recipes that are not only easy to do, but taste wonderful as well.
Anyway, you can also download an entire set of Paleo cookbooks that are chock full of tasty recipes, all in-one-place. Very handy reference so download by following this link: http://www.paleorecipecookbooks.info/

P90X Recipes
There are plenty of P90X recipes that are within the nutritional guidelines of the fitness program. There should be no time while you are following the nutritional program that you become bored of the food. P90X recipes don't have to include a ton of different ingredients as you can find just about everything for a healthy P90X recipe at your local grocery store or your farmer's market.
When you order the P90X fitness program from Beachbody, you receive a nutrition guide that lists plenty of different recipes that are acceptable on the fitness plan. You can go by those specific recipes or you can get creative and make your own meals and snacks from the list of approved foods in the guide. There is no need for you to get stressed out about cooking healthy P90X recipes as some won't even require you to cook anything at all.
For some people coming up with new meals and snack ideas that are healthy is complicated but for others this comes natural to them. If you are getting bored of the ideas that are set forth in the nutrition guide that comes with the fitness program, you simply need to flip over to the portion approach for the approved foods on the program. A good idea is to list all the foods that you are willing to eat and the ones that sound good to you. Next, list some possible combinations of the approved P90X foods that sound like they would taste good together. It may be something simple like grilled chicken kabobs with onion and green pepper. If you are skilled in the kitchen, you may come up with more complicated P90X recipes such as chicken fajitas.
Remember that you don't have to cook every meal that you eat. Most grocery stores have pre-cooked grilled chicken strips or you can even use lean lunch meats like turkey breast. Add in some raw vegetables and fruits and you can easily make a quick and easy P90X approved meal or snack.
Without a health diet like the one that is outlined in the nutrition guide, it is much more difficult to have success at P90X. Nutrition and exercise needs to go together so that you can get the maximum benefits from your time and work that you put into the fitness program. It makes no sense to exercise as hard as you do in P90X and then go ruin your efforts with unhealthy foods. Instead, be sure that you are following the complete program to a tee so that you can reap the most benefits from it.
P90X recipes should not be complicated or boring. The key is to finding healthy foods that you like and preparing them in a healthy way.
Tiffany Brunskole is a writer for Surfer Body Fitness, an Online retailer who specializes in workout products and supplies from Beachbody fitness such as P90X. P90X can help you burn more calories and achieve weight loss faster.

Losing Weight on the Paleo Diet
A few months ago, I took up running. Started on a Couch 2 5K plan and after 9 weeks was easily running for 30 minutes. I can now run 15 km with relative easy. I found however, and this is not really a surprise, that my few kilos of excess weight was not really disappearing. The fitness industry rants on about how long aerobic sessions are the way to lose weight. It helps but resistance training and modifications to ones eating habits really do the trick.
I did some research on the web and came across Loren Cordain's book, The Paleo Diet. Ordered a copy, liked what I read and duly started to follow the pattern.
I've always been interested in health, fitness and why modern humans succumb to so much illness, disease, obesity, allergies etc. It turns out that we are Stone-Age people living in a modern world of processed food, laziness, poor work environments etc. The human genome has only changed 0.02% in the last 40 thousand years. Those people, of which we are the offspring ate a diet consisting mainly of meat, vegetables, nuts and fruit. They may have eaten some grass seeds (of which wheat is a modern version), but only in very small quantities. Modern use of grains didn't start until 10 thousand years ago with the first farms in the Middle East.
So, modern humans are eating foods that the human body has not evolved to eat. We're poisoning ourselves and shortening our lives. Appreciated, ancient people probably had shorter lifespans, but they were lean and athletic, able to chase animals for long distances. We as modern humans should embrace the diet of old and take advantage of the modern developments in medicine to allow ourselves to live long healthy lives. It's amazing how many people get into their late 60's and for them life is nearly over. Their muscles waste, the stoop, their demeanor is that of a beaten person heading towards death. This is not the way it should be.
The Paleo diet revolves around eating lean meat, fruit and vegetables (not root or starchy veggies) with each meal. Eggs are allowed as are nuts and small amounts of dried fruit. Grains, pulse and dairy are all out. You can have a cheat meal or two per week, but if you have a lot of weight to lose, I'd restrict that to just one. Drink plenty of water. I'd advise using a program like Fitday (free) to monitor all you eat for a couple of weeks to make sure you are getting the calories and nutrients you need. After that just go with the flow.
I eat a lot of stir frys and love them, curries can be made easily. There is wealth of recipes available online, and the book also has plenty.
I will write another article soon going more into depth about how I eat, but I have lost 7 kg with ease over the last 3 months, I was only 7 my desired weight so it was easy. If you're a lot bigger, the weight will shift with ease.
Take a look at the book, consult your doctor if you think you need to, and enjoy easy weight loss with out the hunger.

Paleo Diet Meal Plan – Here's a Paleo Meal Plan That Will Satisfy Even the Fussiest Wooly Mammoths
That's right! We Paleo diet followers can cook up a storm in the kitchen. You see, I dislike hearing ignorant comments made by people who do not follow this diet. They say we only eat awfully bland Paleo dishes...They are so wrong!
Now, Wooly mammoths from the Paleolithic era have long gone from this world, but we caveman of the 21st century are here and ready to prepare high quality Paleo recipes, right?
So without further ado, here's a very satisfying 2-course Paleo diet meal plan (more Paleolithic recipe resources are included at the end of this piece). If those mighty Wooly mammoths are alive, surely they will lap up these dishes and may even ask for a second serving!
Meal 1 (Appetizer):
Beef and Carrot Curry Soup
½ Cup of coconut milk
1 Large onion
1 stalk of celery
½ Tablespoon of red curry paste
1 Table spoon of olive oil
½ Cups of walnuts
1 ¼ Cups of carrots (diced)
2 Cups of water
A drizzle of honey
A couple of pinches of white pepper
Directions: First you sauté the celery and onion. Next, put in the walnuts and carrots and sauté once again for about 5 minutes. Pour 2 cups of water, close the lid and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes. Now place them in a blender, pour the coconut milk and blend away until the ingredients become soupy.
Add pepper as well as the curry paste and blend again. Finally, drizzle the soup with some honey and enjoy.
Now let's complete this 2-course Paleo diet meal plan with one of my favorite dishes...
Meal 2 (Main Course):
Scrumptious Paleo Shoulder Pork Roast
A large piece of lean pork shoulder
½ Cup of fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
½ Cup of fresh sage (finely chopped)
½ Cup of fresh parsley (finely chopped)
5 - 7 cloves of finely chopped garlic (I love garlic!)
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
¼ Cup of olive oil
Directions: Place all ingredients (except for the pork shoulder, of course) in a bowl and stir them around for a good couple of minutes. Make sure they are nicely mixed together.
Now, put the lean pork shoulder on the oven and rub the blended ingredients all over it. Massage the meat with those ingredients (man I'm drooling already). Finally roast the shoulder for approximately 40 minutes. I usually cook a pound of shoulder and it takes around 35 - 40 minutes to roast.
Take out from oven and enjoy! They say Paleolithic diet foods are boring? NOOO! The above 2-course Paleo diet meal plan is the real deal my friends.
As promised, here are some more Paleolithic recipe resources for your cooking pleasure. Download cookbooks with over 300 recipes so you can make a huge variety of Paleo diet meal plans. Follow this link to download: http://www.paleorecipecookbooks.info/

Tips On Creating A nourishing Paleo Meal Plan
Paleo food plans feature foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, lean meats and seafood For example, whenever I discuss a Paleo food Plan, I am referring to a "typical" diet of the humans who lived during the paleolithic era.
The Paleo diet is a derivative from the word "Paleolithic", which was a specified time frame about 2.5 million years ago, but ended about 10,000 years ago. It is sometimes called the "ancestor diet", due in fact that the foods used in the recipes for Paleo foods were actually eaten during the paleolithic period long ago. This includes drinks too! One of the biggest reasons society are so fat these days is because they drink liquids full of empty calories . Pop and booze are the obvious culprits, but don't ignore about milk and juice as well. You should never eat liquid calories. Drink what your forefathers did, water. It is calorie free and dilutes the toxins your body absorbs in our modern people. I repeat, no liquid calories except for post workout shakes should you choose to use them.
Are you one of those civilization who attempted to go through a diet and gave up without completing the program? You wondered what happened and blamed ourselves for not being in readiness to get through the program and now you are still sticking to a lifestyle that is less than nutritious. Having a Paleo meal planner might change your life for the more excellent.
Because the diet has some foods that might not at all be readily obtainable in the grocery store, you will want to develop a Paleo meal planner. This way, you can map out what you want to prepare and consume for the following week or month. This can also help you stay on track with your diet because you already have something prepared and ready. This means less time worrying about what you're going to snack and when and more time simply following the diet without much effort Paleo diet originated from the Paleolithic way of eating, which is simply eating anything that is edible and available, or more precisely those that were edible and obtainable during the Paleolithic era. Obviously, that is not exactly how it works in the modern world, so Paleo foods generally consists of foods that are more natural. That is, they do not at all need to be processed to be edible.
Paleo diet relies on food that contains beneficial nutrients for a nourishing lifestyle and at the same time it relies on food with few nutrients that can cause some type of diseases. It is a very nourishing diet where perfect nutrients are a majority. remember that following a Paleo meal planner might be challenging at first. But as you continue, it will naturally turn into a habit, and eventually a lifestyle.
