Paleo CHALLENGE 1 0 1

Paleo Challenge 1 0 1

Okay
What to Eat ?

Meats
vegetables
nuts seeds, berries,
some fruit little starch no grains, no dairy and no sugar

Vegetables (all types but stay away from corn, peas, lentils, beans and white potatoes )
So what to eay?
Every other vegetable,
Swap White potatoes for Sweet Potatoes and YAMS

Grans!
Stay away from
Flour,cereals and Rice
This includes, pasta, bread, and all that pastry stuff

So what to eat?
Swap Cereal for Banana's and coconut milk *just a suggestion
Swap Toast for Bacon and Egg's

No Dairy?
So what so what?
Swap regular milk for Almond Milk or Coconut milk
Both are very yummy :-) you can still make your shakes! just replace milk with almond milk or coconut milk
you can still make curries, just get creative, swap regular cream for coconut cream
* you are allowed 4 dairy Days iu the paleo challenge were you will not be deducted points (why, because i want you to see the difference between having milk in your diet and not having it )

No Alcohol?
Yep thats right
why? well you know why it's not good for you and don't give me this 1 red glass of wine a night crap, most of you know better
No study has actually shown red wine as the actual correlate to decreased heart decease

Are you Nuts?
Eat lots of nuts to replace your regular snacks, add in shakes, to your meals and or breakfast
*except no Peanuts

No processed foods
*for the most try to eat things that do not in a bag and don't have a label!

No Sugar?
*No honey, splenda , stevia, agave or sugar replacements, why? most of us have a sugar addiction and need to get rid of it,
However you are allowed Honey and raw cocoa powder on 4 Days of the Paleo challenge where you will not be deducted any points
