Cooking the Paleo Way - What's the Big Deal?



Now, more than ever before, it is the time to get healthy. With all the new talk of obesity, especially in children, adults need to step up to the plate, or should I say, step up to the healthy plate and start eating good - and I mean eating 'good food'.

It's all too easy to drive through a fast food restaurant and pick up dinner, but do you realize what it's doing to the inside of your body. The easiest way to let you know what it is doing is to watch other people.

Do you know a family who eats out 4 or 5 days a week. What kind of lifestyle is that for that family? Are they overweight? Do they have health problems? For your family, if no one else, start cooking food at home and stay away from fast food. Think about it - you'll not only become healthier and lose weight, you'll start seeing more money in your bank account. It is far cheaper to cook at home than it is to eat fast food.

Take a look at the dozens of cookbooks Amazon has to offer at the top of this post.

The Paleo Recipe Book Review

My Review of Paleo Recipe Book

Since I had my children, eating healthy and feeding them good foods have been a main priority. I began making their baby food instead of buying the processed jar baby food. In the Paleo Recipe Book, many of the recipes can be altered to feed even the smallest member of the family.

One of my favorites in the cookbook has turned out to be the coconut oil. It was easy to find at my local drug store (it may be available at grocery stores, but I live in a small town and it wasn't available). When I first got it, I added coconut oil to anything and everything I could.

Even though I don't like fish, organ meats, or shell fish and haven't tried the recipes that contain them, the Paleo Recipe Book is a great addition to the home and will have you eating your way to health. I also liked that I didn't have to wait for it to come in the mail, because it can be downloaded to your computer, ipod, iphone, or other reader instantly. It also comes with a 60-day money back guarantee.

What Should We Eat?


The first thing we need to look at should not be what we eat, but what is in the foods we eat. Over time, preservatives, additives, and other chemicals have been added to pretty much all of the food we buy at fast food restaurants, grocery stores, and even homemade canned foods at your local Farmer's Market.

To be healthy, we need to know what is in our food. Luckily, the Paleo Recipe Book takes all the guess work out of what foods are best for you and your family.

In this Paleo Recipe Book review, I had to add that I was a bit skeptical at the foods that were not in the recipe book because they were the foods I eat everyday.

Watch the Paleo Recipe Book Video Below...





Food Not In the Paleo Recipe Book 

grains - corn, wheat, and oats  
vegetable oils
sodas
fruit juices
sugar
dairy products
legumes

I must say, I wondered for quite some time how any recipe book could be any good without some of the author has done tons of research and tested all of the recipes or they wouldn't taste nearly as good as they do.

Some of the Paleo Recipe Book claims include:

  • Our ancestors didn't suffer from obesity, autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
  • Eating modern grains are bad for us.
  • Eating vegetable oils isn't healthy.
  • Sugar is damaging our bodies.
  • Anyone can cook the recipes.
  • Lose weight effortlessly.
  • Gain mental clarity.
  • Gain a positive attitude.
  • Constant energy.
  • Sex drive like never before.
  • Great sleep
  • Smooth skin.
  • Increase in strength, endurance, and performance.
  • and more

Foods included in the recipe book:


  • meat
  • fish
  • fruits
  • vegetables
  • nuts
  • seeds
  • eggs
Doesn't sound like much, but when you get into the recipes, you'll see why this is all you need.
