1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Top Paleo Diet Tips While On Airplane Travel

Perhaps the hardest place for some people to get a paleo-friendly meal is at 40,000 feet above the ground.  Plane food - as much as airlines have tried to improve it over the years - is still pretty awful, and certainly not paleo-friendly.

The nature of air travel means food needs to be pre-packed, practical and served with little effort to a large group of people who have differing taste preferences. This means the food needs to be "standard" in order to please the masses.

Typically, the main course option will consist of starchy carb-heavy foods like potatoes, pasta, rice and/or bread, all largely inoffensive to the average non-paleo eater. You usually get some salad thrown in which is great, but if you're looking for fresh, tasty veggies, forget it. In fact, this is the one part of the meal most people leave! Dessert is likely to be a cake or yogurt, and you'll be lucky if your accompanying heavily processed fruit juice even contains more than 20 percent purity!

Picking out the bits of meat - laden in sauce with more preservatives than you would ever willingly consume - won't fill you up, and neither will the salad. You could register for a special meal with the airline, but quality wise it's always hard to expect much from a company working to a small budget.

So here are some simple answers to the travel food obstacle:

• Make sure you leave space in your hand luggage for a good paleo-friendly packed lunch. 
• Pick something easy to prepare and easy to eat through a period of turbulence (no soups), and also something inoffensive smelling to those sitting around you (go easy on the garlic). 
• Think about a simple meal like grilled chicken and sautéed vegetables. 
• Pack a fruit salad for dessert and a mix of walnuts, almonds and Brazil nuts for a snack later in the flight.
• Unfortunately some airlines won't allow you to take a drink onboard due to liquid regulations. But there is always water, tea and coffee available.
  
  

Long train journeys present a similar situation to flying. In-carriage menus aren't usually designed with paleo followers in mind, and the chance of convincing the train to stop so you can collect some berries in the woods are pretty slim.

Similarly, 24-hour gas stations don't make for quality paleo eating stops on road trips.

Rather than go hungry in the air or on the road, create travel-friendly paleo recipes that can be pre-made and pre-packed for a delicious meal on the go. If you're struggling for ideas check out this Simple Paleo Recipes cookbook:

Brocolli Bacon and Cashew Salad

Meatballs with Crunchy Sweet Potato Chips

PALEO DINNER : ROASTED LAMB WITH GARLICS

I am going to share to you this recipe which I also did try to cook and serve to my family during a weekend family dinner in our home. This was emailed to me from a newsletter which I happen to subscribe on. 

Surprisingly, my kids and cousins love it. Yes they are meat lovers but it's good that there are veggies on the side on this dish because I also do encourage them to love veggies as well. Although it has a garlicky taste, they still do savor and very much appreciate the tenderness and flavour of the lamb meat. This is easy to prepare although baking time is at least 6-10 hours. 

So why not you try this recipe as well.

~ROASTED LEG LAMB WITH GARLICS~

What you need:

1 1/2 kgs. Leg of lamb

1 tbsp Coconut oil

50 garlic cloves, unpeeled & carmelised

1 1/2 cups Chicken stock

Pinch of salt to taste

For the veggies - 

1  medium carrot, cut into cubes 

1/4 cup Broccoli

How to Prepare/ Cook:

1. Preheat oven by setting it to 150 degrees celsius or 300 degrees fahrenheit.
2. Cut away the fat from the leg of the lamb.
3. Put the lamb in a large pot on a medium-high heat and brown the leg of the lamb in the coconut oil. 
4. Transfer the cooked lamb into a heavy lidded casserole dish which will hold it firmly.
5. Add the chicken stock, carmelised garlic cloves and salt.
6. Put the lid on the casserole dish and firmly seal the lid with aluminum foil to prevent moisture from escaping.
7. Cook it in the oven for 6-10 hours until the meat is very tender and falls off from the bone.
8. While waiting, steam the veggies until desired doneness.
9. When everything is done, serve in a large plate with the veggies on the side.

Hope you and your family will enjoy.. Bon Appétit !

   

TOP 5 PALEO DIET TIPS TO KEEP YOU ALL TIME FIT

We are what we eat and our diet plays a massive role in the way we feel on a daily basis. Often we don't realize the damage we are doing to our health by eating certain foods and not eating enough of others.


Remember these 5 tips in mind when looking at your current diet to ensure that you are right down the path of healthy eating.

1. Eat Your Vegetables - The '5-a-day' recommendation is actually an old school of thought, and  'the more the better' is now considered the way forward. For optimum health you need a solid amount of vegetables in your diet.
2. Watch The Sugar - White sugar is highly addictive. This stuff is quite literally 'white poison' and contributes greatly to dental deterioration, diabetes, hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, mental illness, depression, hypertension, cancer and more.
3. Stay Away From Processed Foods - Processed food is useless to the body. It's full of chemicals, preservatives and alien substances that the body cannot digest properly or use for any cause of good. Processed foods cause high levels of toxicity which contribute to a large range of health problems.
4. Avoid Dairy - A large part of the world's population is genetically unable to properly digest dairy products. In addition to causing an insulin spike and being processed and homogenized in such a way that is unsuitable to it's natural structure, dairy also increases the body's level of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) which is a known cancer promoter.
5. Don't Even Think About Grains - Grains were never part of our ancestors diets and they really don't agree with our digestive system. Research has shown that 30-40% of people of European descent are gluten intolerant and effectively making themselves sick. You can easily get your fiber and Vitamin B elsewhere.

If you are following the paleo foundations then all of the above are easy! But if you are finding your fruit &  veggies intake is low and processed foods are creeping into your diet too often, or you would just like a broaden range of paleo recipes - be sure to check out these Paleo Cookbooks:

EFFECT OF LACK OF SLEEP TO YOUR WEIGHT

Do you know that there is a scientific proven link between lack of sleep and weight gain?

Lack of sleep imbalances LEPTIN and GHRELIN, two hormones responsible for the control of feeling hunger and fullness. Ghrelin is produced in the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates appetite, and Leptin on the other hand lets the brain know when you are full. Lack of sleep causes these two hormones to become imbalanced and operate ineffectively. So when you sleep badly leptin levels drop and ghrelin levels rise. Subsequently, your appetite increases and you still feel hungry after you have eaten.

The reality is that people who sleep less than 7-8 hours per night are more likely to put on weight than those getting their full 8 hours in.

In addition to these hormone imbalances, a lack of sleep increases CORTISOL in the body. Cortisol or Hydrocortisone is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland and is released in the body in response to STRESS and low level of blood glucose. Its 3 main functions are increase blood sugar and reduce glucose uptake into cells; suppress the immune sysytem; and aids fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.  A high level of cortisol wreaks havoc with body fat levels, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation.

One key factor in achieving a good night's sleep is to minimize exposure to artificial light, thus the importance of not staying up too late on the laptop or reading with a bedside lamp for too long. Ensure your bedroom is completely dark for the entire period you are in bed. If your curtains let in street light then invest in some thicker ones to fully block out the light.

If you are a Paleo enthusiast, don't put at risk all that good paleo eating by depriving yourself of proper sleep. Have your last meal around 6-7pm - so the body isn't digesting food while you're sleeping - turn off the laptop/TV by at least 8-9pm, give yourself an hour and a half to prepare for bed, and then hit the sack around 10pm - if not before.

Our paleolithic ancestors went to sleep when they felt tired and when the sun began to set, probably a few hours after their evening meal. They weren't straining their eyes on an iPad sending Tweets, engaging in multiple Skype conversations, or working late into the night.

IMPACT OF YOUR DIET TO YOUR SIXTH SENSE

Do you know that there are certain types of  food that we take into our system which have their own vibrations and affect our state of consciousness? 

I read this book "Understanding the Psychic Powers of Man" and got hold of this excerpt - a diet recommendation by Edgar Cayce - a world renowned expert in psychic phenomena,  for the development of psychic powers and this has something to do with the avoidance of certain combinations of foods as summarized below.

• Eliminate all MEATS except for FISH, FOWL or LAMB.
• Eat very little foods that combine starches with sweets such as cakes and pastries.
• Eliminate overly refined or processed foods such as canned goods, preserved meats.
• Avoid fruits and vegetables that are picked before ripening on the vine.
• Avoid the combination of milk and citrus fruits.
• Avoid the combination of whole-grain cerals and citrus fruits.
• Avoid the combination of coffee with milk or cream.
• Eliminate the combination of starches and proteins.
• Eat 80%  ALKALINE-producing foods such as fruits & veggies; and 20% ACID-producing foods such as meats, cereals and starches.

Proper diet is just one of the essential conditions or factors necessary for the development of psychic faculties. If you are really interested in developing your sixth sense abilities since all of us has this, you may not only consider your diet but also other factors such as meditation, proper breathing techniques, self-confidence and finally practice or actual application. This will give you a better understanding of the phenomena so that when the time comes, you may be ready and not get scared.

UNCONTROLLED SUGAR AND TRANSFAT CONSUMPTION INCREASES HUMAN DEPRESSION

Your mental state and your food-intake are likely best of friends and from what we consume in our daily  lives reflects the outcome of what our behavior will become tomorrow whether we like it or not. So, if you want to become what you most likely would want to be in the future, you better watch out your diet or else it's less likely you're going to have your dream life come true. 

A research study was conducted in the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain about the relation of sugar and trans-fat consumption on human behavioral pattern. The researchers studied a group of almost 9,000 people for between 2-6 years as a part of a long-term, ongoing study. Excluded from the study were people with extremely high or low daily caloric intake, or had obesity-related diseases.

Participants were asked to report how frequently they eat a given list of foods ie. fastfoods (trans-fats) such as  hamburgers, sausages and pizza; and sweet goods such as muffins, doughnuts and croissant.

At the beginning of the study, no one had been diagnosed with depression, or have taken antidepressants. However, by the end of the study almost 500 had been diagnosed with depression or have antidepressants in their system.

The new study showed that, consumers of fast food and sweets, compared with those who eat little or none, were 51 percent more likely to develop depression. The researchers saw that as depression levels increased, so did the amount of junk food eaten. The more depressed you are the more likely you are to consume large amounts of junk food. The correlation could also go the other way -the more fast food was consumed, the greater the risk of depression.

Usually people who eat high levels of  trans-fat junk foods have personalities of being single or unattached, less active and have a poor dietary habits ie. consumes less fruits and vegetables and healthy fats like nuts, fish and olive oil. Heavy cigarette-smokers and workaholics (spending more than 45 hours of week work) are likewise manifesting to have a depressed way of living.

It's better to follow a controlled dietary plan than having nothing along the way. Balanced diet and proper exercise are always recommended by experts but for those regular people who are beginning to adapt a new way of healthy living, the paleo diet plan is recommendable by doctors, dieticians and even athletes and cross-fit trainers.
