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:

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:

Some Freezing Food Tips That You Should Know

 
Having a paleo diet plan in your life,  it is vitally important that  you don't leave yourself short of paleo friendly food in the kitchen. Having nothing in the house to eat is the primary cause of straying from the path, resulting in ordering a takeaway or snacking on something you shouldn't. For this reason, being able to freeze food presents a paleo lifeline. 

Although freezing food isn't something our ancestors would have been able to do, we do have this luxury at our disposal. Though, while freezing food can save money and allow you to stockpile food on a rainy day, it is very important to understand the health implications behind the freezing process, and how to get the best out of freezing your food.

Here are the TIPS:

Freeze Fresh 
Freezing will inevitably affect quality to a certain degree depending on the food type. However, the more fresh food is when you freeze it, the better it will taste when you thaw it out for preparation. Don't refrigerate and then freeze, try to freeze the things you want as soon as you get back from the supermarket.

Seal In The Moisture 
The freezer environment is very dry, so make sure you freeze food in ziplock bags or tupperware to lock in the moisture and preserve the taste.

Freeze In Manageable Portions 
Chopping up food and freezing in smaller volumes will enable food to freeze faster and preserve freshness. It will also save you space in your freezer and defrost far quicker when you need to cook.

Don't Defrost and Refreeze Raw Food 
Freezing slows down the process of food spoilage but it doesn't kill bacteria entirely, it creates a kind of dormant effect. By defrosting and refreezing food, you will be refreezing an increased level of microbes, which may make the food unsafe to eat. For safety, once defrosted, it is best to consume the food in full.

Thawing, Cooking, and Refreezing 
This practice is fine, because unlike simply defrosting and refreezing, you are killing potentially harmful bacteria during the cooking process. Make sure you read the last rule regarding when to refreeze.

Let The Food Cool 
Before Refreezing Don't leave food sitting around for ages before you refreeze it, but don't put hot food straight in the freezer either. The reason for this is that it will start to defrost other food in the freezer, and alter the temperature of your freezer.


Now you know how to freeze food properly you can ensure you are never without paleo-friendly food in your kitchen! 


DO YOU KNOW......
