Paleo Diet aka Caveman Diet

[krnmprl]

pasali mga sis. i'm on a gluten-free/GAPS diet na may pagka-paleo din. day 3 pa lang ako at very challenging hehe. may autoimmune thyroiditis kasi ako kaya ko naisipan subukan 'tong diet na' to.

paleo and gluten-free diest are best for those with leaky gut, na cause din ng mga autoimmune diseases.

anong kinakain nyo for carbo? ako kasi gluten-free noodles made from rice bran tsaka gluten-free rolled oats. alam ko bawal yun pero wala akong maisip na ibang source ng carbo.

hmmh pareho tayo i think i'm gluten sensitive. suggestion though, how about not eating "gluten free" food made from rice or other kinds of starches. how about meat and vegetables and real food. studies have proven that we're capable of functioning even with limited carbs. read the daily apple blog. he's an athlete pa ha. minimal carbs.

thanks mga sis. oonga eh, nagkamali nga ako ng bili nung mga gluten-free pasta and oats. ubusin ko na lang muna kasi sayang din hehe. mahal pa naman.

actually, balak ko nga mag-restart ng diet. GAPS muna ako, which is more strict than paleo kasi for healing purposes. pero sa simula lang strict. after a while, parang paleo na din siya.

^ good luck sis! i hope you'll feel much better when you start GAPS

[shinta]

^Salamat sis.

nakabili na ako ng supplies. nakakatuwa kasi may free-range chicken pala ang magnolia na available sa supermarket. organic eggs lang ang wala akong makita. pero sabi ng nanay ko minsan sa palengke meron. pag kulay orange-brown ba yung shell, considered na organic or free-range na yun? or may chance na di pa rin sila hormone-free?

[beachgirl]

^ i'm not sure kung free range yung brown shelled eggs. better to ask na lang to be sure. i use ordinary eggs and meat kasi namamahalan ako sa grass fed meat at eggs from free range chicken. pag nagkabudget i'll try to buy.

[shinta]

^ thanks sis. oo nga ang mahal pag certified organic. parang nakita ko sa healthy options P450 yung organic chicken. pero yung magnolia, konti lang difference from regular chicken. but it's not certified organic, free- range lang nakalagay.

start na ulit ako diet bukas.

Back to Paleo.

challenging ang weekends sa akin kasi ang hirap mag-stick sa paleo! palaging ang food sa amin pag weekend ay "faileo". kaya hindi na lang ako nagpapa-stress. i'm more strict pag weekdays though.

[Romina]

^we're the same. We go to my inlaws on weekends, and laging carbs overload. Hindi makatangi sa pagkain

[rae]

^ I can relate, ang hirap tumanggi when you go to someone else's house. Lalo na kung in laws.

how do you do a paleo "reset"?

ang ginagawa ko ngayon since may workout challenge sa crossfit mnl, namo-motiavate ako to eat cleaner. it really makes a difference kasi i feel lighter. i also remind myself that if i continue to eat junk i'll start feeling physically bad.

I start with my pantry. I make sure na walang tempting food sa pantry ko. I keep a separate cabinet for my husband's snacks but sometimes I can't help but open it and try to "steal" something from his stash.

My husband suggested I should start grilling my food, since wala naman daw mga stovetops noon lol.

[beachgirl]

^ wish i could clean up our pantry sa house! i live with my parents so most of the food is non-paleo. when i have time, i also like to make paleo treats like cupcakes, cookies, and fudge balls. ang mahal lang ng ingredients!

[Romina]

I gave up on baking with almond meal. It sucks. For me at least. For sweets i settle with pecan pralines nalang. Minsan lang mag cheat... Sa isang araw hehe

[shinta]

mga sis, where do you get your "flour" for baking? coconut flour and nut flour lang pwede diba? nakakaloka lang minsan maghanap ng ingredients.

[beachgirl]

^^ i've used almond flour for pancakes and muffins and they turned out well naman. have you tried searching for recipes on pinterest? ang dami dun! marami din sa website na elana's pantry.

^ i use almond flour (from chocolate lover) and coconut flour (cocowonder). if you have a food processor at matiyaga ka, you can make your own almond flour... even cashew flour! mahal lang ng nuts eh.

[shinta]

^thanks sis. nag-email ako sa cocowonder pero di sila nagreply. try ko ulit i-contact.

[beachgirl]

^ sis mas madali kung tumawag ka na lang sa kanila. if you live in the makati area, you can pick up your orders. if not, they can ship it to you.

[Romina]

Almond meal/ flour is what I use. I'm not sure where in the Philippines you can buy it but I get mine from Trader Joe's here in the US
