Paleo Diet Meal Plan | A Simple Template

8/5/2012

Paleo Diet - Paleo Meals

The Paleo Diet often gets rejected by people because of its difficulty. "It's expensive and hard to prepare the meals" they say due to all of the cooking. 

Well I am going to start adding meals on the blog to demonstrate how you can create full meals while on the Paleo Diet...without breaking the bank or spending too much time in the kitchen.

Unless you're exercising in the morning it makes sense to eat a protein breakfast, Paleo-style lunch, and a Paleo/Japanese style diet in the evening (allowance of starchy carbs like rice or potatoes). This was originally suggested by Nate Miyaki. 

This template restricts any major spikes in insulin throughout the day.Less insulin spikes = less likely your cells are to become resistant. Remember, you want your cells to be as sensitive to insulin as possible, and you do that by playing hard to get.

Also, by keeping these insulin spikes down you are priming our body for muscle gain. When you do get an insulin spike (ideally after during/exercise) our bodies will use the nutrients for muscle gain rather than store as fat deposits.

Without any further delay, here is a sample day on the Paleo diet.

Breakfast

Paleo Meals
Paleo Breakfast
-2 Omega 3 Eggs
-Grass Fed Flank Steak
-Fresh Mixed Veggies (Brocolli, Peppers, Onion, Mushrooms)
-Salt, Pepper, Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning

Preperations; Oil pan with either Unrefined Coconut Oil or Grass Fed Butter. Throw on meat and veggies until meat begins to brown. Once browned, push the mix over to one side of the pan and throw on the eggs (add more oil if necessary). Once eggs are almost finished, I like to mix everything together to make it nice and juicy! Enjoy 


Lunch

Paleo Lunch
This is a Pork Tenderloid cooked in slow cooker for about 8 hours. It has peppers and onions added as well. Once cooked, I like to put it on the stove over low/med heat and add some spices and green chilli sauce to add flavor.

This is really easy to make, totally customizable and great with an avocado as a topping. It is also like 4-5 meals total.

Mixed salad with mixed veggies (red onions, celery, carrots, avocado, cucumber)...and my guilty pleasure blue cheese.

Salad dressing is a custom mix of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. I add salt and pepper to the dressing and it is delicious. Sometimes I add Apple Cider Vinegar as well.


Dinner

Paleo Meals
Paleo Dinner
Grass Fed Beef Pinwheels Found here. These are packed with protein and healthy fat. A great protein dish for any meal.

**If this is your post workout meal, it would be a good idea to replace this with a more lean protein such as a chicken breast or white fish.

Realistically, unless you are really trying to add mass, this is probably enough meat to feed 2.

Baked sweet potatoes, plain and simple.

How To Prepare: Poke numerous holes in potatoes (this is 3 here), and bake in oven for about 1 hour. Make sure to put foil down because the potatoes will bleed out delicious juice.

I top mine off with grass fed butter.

Throw in some veggies (maybe asparagus) with this meal and dinner is served.


Now this is simply a template to give you an idea of how meals should look like on the Paleo Diet. Obviously this isn't going to be the only things going passed anyone's lips in a given day, but this is the foundation. 

I drink protein shakes usually between my 1st and 2nd meal. Everything is relative to your goals. 

If you are trying to get lean, use this template and be and the more strict you are, the better results you will get.

If you are trying to gain mass, throw in some extra protein and maybe some starchy carbs, hell, even oatmeal every now and then. 

It all depends on your goals, but start here and ask questions about anything else.

Hi there, about six months ago l went on the Paleo diet and lost 10kg all was good l had reached my goal easily. Then l had surprise extensive bowel surgery and lost another 5kg and was way too skinny so l'm trying to put weight back on whilst still on Paleo though l have added rice products such as rice cakes and gluten free bread all because l have been so weak and cooking for myself and when l need to eat l really need to eat NOW. The trick is l need to keep belly fat to a minimum because of the scaring causing distortion and pain through being too tight. So can you offer any help about gaining weight gracefully on the Paleo diet. Big Cheers... Paleo is the best thing that's happened to modern civilisation.

just started the paleo diet for the most part 9 days ago Just need to deal with breakfast issues, which I will work on this weekend. So far without trying I have lost 9 pounds and am not hungry at all. I need to find a simple paleo recipe for oatmeal replacement. This is my final straw and I will be free. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Very informative article. Thanks to the writer as well as the blog owner for creating such a quality article. I didn't know what Paleo was even. However, when I realized what it needed, my attitude to it changed dramatically. Although I'm not ready to jump in and become a complete vow Paleo Dieter (I had to give up my addiction to cheese, peanut butter, brownie, ice cream, and ... candies), I feel like I want to myself Your body is more awake.
