Also has anyone a delicious paleo recipe for me using two chicken breasts as my meat source,will cover me for 2 meals
Breasts or fillets?
If it's fillets you could butterfly them(cut open) and stuff them with something like spinach. I normally add goats cheese to chicken fillets but you I don't know if your eating cheese
If it's breasts maybe something like lemon chicken, roast covered and slowly in oven with juice from some lemons, olive oil(I don't think the taste of other oils would work) garlic, a bit of cracked pepper & salt, herbs like parsley and thyme I think I'd put in a little white wine vinegar or just a little bit of white wine near the end. (maranade in fridge for a while first)
If it still has the skin on you can do something simple like cut the skin and put flavours like garlic & fresh herbs under with a little bit of butter(if you eat it, maybe ghee would work) wrap it in foil and bake.
These are just off the top of my head of what I find nice, so not really exact recipes.
If anyone sees a recipe that they like but it's not paleo/primal. I could probably alter it to fit, I don't seem to find it too difficult but I eat a bit of dairy(mainly the fats, cheese, butter and a bit of cream) I avoid all wheat and gluten(even trace) or at least try, I will eat normal potatoes and rice but rarely.I try avoid soy too, unless it's properly fermented and stuff. I try to soak my nuts :pac: and dehydrate them in the oven. In short I just eat real food that I cook myself. I don't think I'm really paleo or primal but I suppose I'm nearer that than anything else.0 -

Have forgotten to check in here! I'm doing well enough, am on step 5 now and have cut down big time on bread, only have about 4 slices of the mccambridge a day, that's good for me believe me! I'm still having porridge for breky during the week and eggs at weekend. Lunch is usually an egg with salad of beetroot, peppers, lettuce etc. Dinners are chicken/fish based with lots of veg. Still had my dark choc at the weekend with a couple of glasses of red. Feeling very much less bloated and definitely more energy. Regarding stock cubes I've been using the Kallo ones, is there an alternative?
Best alternative is make your own
I have a slow cooker to make mine.
I buy whole chicken cut off the legs,wings,breasts and drop the rest into the slow cooker on high heat.
Fire some onions,garlic spices and herbs in.
Cant remember how long it takes, but i ussualy take that out after the meat around it is white and cooked, but also not too long that it falls apart trying to take it out.
You can strain it,let it cool and drop it into ice cube trays.that will keep in the freezer for a long time,i think up to 2 months.
Alternatively i just make soup from it
Least you know whats in it then and dont have to worry about any additives or wether its good for you.I presume the bone marrow etc is beneficial too.0 -

@frag - you don't have to eat what I do! Just add more veg & fruit, and a good variety of it. Try some new things
It's been a while since I read the Paleo Diet book but I remember reading that the bog standard spud contains some chemical which can cause perferation of the stomach lining or something like that.0 -

Hehe! Lovely to put a face to the name...again! 2010...still, cant believe its been that long ago. Time flies! Will put my feelers out and see if I can source some of that coconut butter you were after. I know some people who know some people
Was thinking of you this afternoon as I was adding milk to my americano, and nibbling on a butlers 70% chocolate sweet...thinking DCD wouldnt do this!!!
See ya again, and dont worry, your REAL name is safe with me 0 -
Cool, this is the one I want
http://www.artisanafoods.com/products/coconut-butter
Freshly made from whole coconut flesh (not just the oil) and puree'd into a fiberous, densely nutritious spread. Our butter melts in your mouth with full coconut taste and aroma, while giving you the whole coconut nutrition: oil, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals.
Whereas the one you had boasted No coconut taste and aroma
Weird eh?

You have seen my face a lot, just not irl
Off to Spain on Tuesday. Prepping for airport/travel. Putting together a paleo kit of my homemade jerky, macadamia nuts, well fed's spiced nuts and (Maybe?) jumbo yellow sultanas.
I also have to pack an evening meal as we fly at 6pm. My mother will have ham & cheese rolls ready for us when we arrive, haven't told her yet about the whole paleo thing. I'm sure there'll be some confrontation/irritation over the fortnight about my diet etc. Ho hum.
She is very odd with me re all thing weight related, she's like a teenage frenemy (roll eyes). I have clothes left over there from last summer and I said to her that they would be too big to which she said "sure the way you eat on holidays they won't be for long" nice!0 -
