Check out this infographic and get the skinny on workout nutrition!
Seeing how yesterday we discussed what constitutes the Paleo Diet and what doesn’t, I thought that we could explore some different paleo recipe options today for Tasty Tuesday. With restrictions on several food categories that many people would describe as an integral part of their daily diet (think dairy and cereal grains), I can appreciate that finding delicious paleo recipes may be a bit of a challenge – especially, for breakfast.
Fortunately for all of you paleo eaters out there, we have found a cumulation of 20 Paleo Breakfast Ideas from the blog, Life With 4 Boys, that all look absolutely drool-worthy! From egg benedict to waffles, these recipes look so good that people who aren’t even following the paleo diet may want to try them. And don’t forget to sprinkle your PGX on beforehand!

You an give in to your inner cookie monster without regret. It is completely possible! I know it seems rather oxymoronic to think of cookies as healthy but it’s a fabulous thing to think of and know to be real. What it is really that makes cookies so unhealthy? Tons of sugar, oil, white flour, butter… all things that can actually be replaced!
The Skinny Fork recipe for Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies does just that: food substitution! For example, instead of butter or oil, you’ll find this recipe calls for apple sauce!

The crave monster has just surfaced and it’s forcing me to begin the hunt for snacks! All too often this leads to snacking on things like chips and dip or if nothing else, buttered toast (I swear I could live on toasted bread with butter and I would be quite happy!).

Although the paleo diet has never appealed to me (I enjoy dairy too much), it has become all the rage among many health conscious folks. Especially popular amongst those that are involved in Cross Fit training, the paleo diet emulates the diet of cavemen. What exactly does this mean, you ask? Well, the Paleo Diet, as defined by thepaleodiet.com, is “based upon eating wholesome, contemporary foods from the food groups our hunter-gatherer ancestors would have thrived on during the Paleolithic era, the time period from about 2.6 million years ago to the beginning of the agricultural revolution, about 10,000 years ago.”
What do you think? Is this a diet you would try? Let us know in the comments below or on our Facebook page.
