I Went Paleo and Didn’t Just Eat Bacon and Steak. Here’s My Meal Plan.
I Thought It Was a Caveman Diet. It Was a Rainbow on a Plate.
I thought the Paleo diet was a boring, meat-heavy “caveman” diet of nothing but bacon and steak. I was so wrong. I created a meal plan that was vibrant, diverse, and incredibly delicious. Breakfast was a sweet potato “toast” with avocado. Lunch was a massive “power salad” with a ton of colorful vegetables and some grilled chicken. And dinner was a beautiful piece of salmon with a side of roasted asparagus. I was eating a rainbow of nutrient-dense, whole foods, and I had never felt more energetic or alive. It wasn’t a diet of restriction; it was a feast of abundance.
The “Lazy” Paleo: A 7-Day Meal Plan for People Who Hate Cooking
I Embraced the “Assembly-Only” Philosophy and I Thrived.
I wanted the health benefits of a Paleo diet, but I absolutely hate cooking. I created the “lazy” Paleo meal plan. It’s built on a foundation of “assembly-only” meals. I relied on a few key, pre-cooked, store-bought staples. A rotisserie chicken was my best friend. I would have a simple meal of the chicken with a bagged salad. For another meal, I’d have some high-quality, pre-cooked sausage with a side of steamed, frozen vegetables. It was a simple, effective, and completely “cooking-free” way to eat a healthy, Paleo diet.
This One “Paleo Swap” Cured My 3 PM Energy Crash
I Traded My Sad Sandwich for a “Super-Charged” Salad.
My daily, 3 p.m. energy crash was a brutal, unavoidable part of my day. I realized that my carb-heavy, bread-based sandwich for lunch was the culprit. I made one, simple “Paleo swap”: I ditched the bread and I started to have a huge, “super-charged” salad for lunch instead. It was packed with a ton of leafy greens, a generous portion of a protein, and a lot of a healthy fat from an avocado and an olive oil. The result was a profound and an immediate. The 3 p.m. slump completely disappeared, and I had a steady, sustained, and a productive energy all afternoon.

I Made a Brownie with an Avocado, and It Was a Fudgy, Decadent, Miracle.
I have a massive, sweet tooth, and the thought of a Paleo diet with no, dessert was a grim, prospect. I discovered a world of an incredible, “I can’t believe it’s Paleo” dessert. My favorite, was a “Chocolate Avocado Mousse,” which was a rich, creamy, and a packed with a healthy fat. I also made the most a fudgy, and a delicious, “brownie” using a sweet, potato as the base. These simple, whole-food, desserts were not just a sad, “healthy” substitute; they were an incredibly delicious, and a decadent, in their own, right.
Stop Eating “Paleo Junk Food”: A Guide to Real, Whole Foods
I Was Eating a “Paleo” Cookie, and I Was Still, Feeling a Terrible.
I thought I was being a “healthy” because I was eating a “Paleo” cookie and a “Paleo” protein bar. But I still, felt a sluggish and a inflamed. I realized that I was just a eating a highly a processed, “Paleo junk food.” I made a crucial, shift. I stopped a buying anything in a box with a “Paleo” label, and I started to focus on a real, whole, and an unprocessed, food. I built my diet around a meat, a fish, an egg, a vegetable, a fruit, and a healthy fat. The difference in my health and my energy was a profound.
The “Modern Paleo” Food Pyramid (It’s Not What You Think)
The “Foundation” Isn’t Meat; It’s a Mountain of a Vegetable.
The old, “caveman” stereotype of the Paleo, diet is a mountain of a meat. The “modern Paleo” food, pyramid, I learned, is a very a different. The foundation, the largest, and the most a important, part of the pyramid, is a huge, and a diverse, variety of a colorful, vegetable. The next, layer is a high-quality, protein and a healthy fat. And the very, top of the pyramid is a small, amount of a fruit, a nut, and a seed. It is a plant-forward, a nutrient-dense, and an incredibly a balanced, way of an eating.
My “Paleo on a Budget” Shopping List and Meal Plan
I Ate Like a “Caveman,” and I Saved a Money Like a “Dragon.”
I thought the Paleo, diet, with its a focus on a high-quality, meat, had to be an expensive. I learned that a “Paleo on a budget” is not just a possible; it is a delicious. My shopping, list is a built on a foundation of a frugal, staple. I will buy a cheap, but a flavorful, cut of a meat, like a chicken, thigh and a ground, beef. I will eat a ton of an egg. And I will load my cart with an affordable, and a seasonal, vegetable, like a sweet, potato and a cabbage. I was a eating an incredible, food, and my grocery, bill was a the lowest, it had ever, been.
How to Make a Perfect “Paleo-Friendly” Pizza Crust
The “Cauliflower” Crust That a Crisped, Up, and a Held, Up.
A pizza, night seemed like a distant, and an impossible, dream on a Paleo, diet. I had a tried so many a sad, and a crumbly, “Paleo” pizza, crust. Then I discovered the secret, to a perfect, and a sturdy, “cauliflower crust.” The key is to squeeze as much a water as you possibly, can out of the cooked, cauliflower. I will a mix the dry, cauliflower with an egg and some a seasoning, and I will a bake it until it is a golden, brown and a firm. The result is a crispy, and a delicious, crust that can actually, be a picked up like a real, slice of a pizza.
The “80/20” Paleo Approach for a Sustainable, Long-Term Lifestyle
I Found My a “Freedom” in a Little Bit of a “Flexibility.”
A strict, 100%, Paleo, diet was a starting to feel a little bit a restrictive and a socially a isolating. I adopted the “80/20” approach, and it was a the key to a making this a sustainable, and a lifelong, way of an eating. 80%, of the time, I will eat a strict, Paleo, diet of a whole, and an unprocessed, food. The other, 20%, of the time, I will a allow myself a little bit of a flexibility and a freedom. I will have a piece of a high-quality, sourdough, bread or a small, scoop of an ice cream. This balanced, approach is a not a “cheating”; it is a sustainable, sanity.

I Didn’t Give Up My “Favorite”; I Just a Gave Them a “Glow-Up.”
The “forbidden” list of a Paleo—a no, a grain, a dairy, a legume, a sugar—can seem a daunting. I learned that for a every, “forbidden” food, there is a delicious, and a surprising, modern, swap. Instead of a pasta, I will a use a “zucchini, noodle.” Instead of a rice, I will a use a “cauliflower, rice.” Instead of a peanut, butter, I will a use an almond, butter. And for a sweet, treat, a “nice cream” made from a frozen, banana is a so much a better, than an ice cream. I did not a lose my favorite; I just a found a healthier, and a more a delicious, version.
The “Next-Level” Paleo: Incorporating Fermented Foods and Organ Meats
I Went from a “Paleo” to an “Ancestral,” and My a Health, Skyrocketed.
I was a thriving on a Paleo, diet, but I wanted to take my health to the “next level.” I started to incorporate a two, key, “ancestral” food group that are a often, overlooked: a fermented, food and an organ, meat. I started to make my own, sauerkraut and a kombucha for a gut, health. I also, learned to cook a nutrient-dense, organ, meat, like a beef, liver and a heart. These traditional, and an incredibly a powerful, food took my health and my energy to a whole, new, and an amazing, level.

I Built a “Baking, Arsenal” in My Pantry, and My a Treat, Were a Transformed.
A Paleo, baking can be a tricky, but a having the right, flour is the key to a success. I built a “baking arsenal” of a three, key, Paleo, flour. An almond, flour is the workhorse, a perfect for a moist, and a tender, cake and a cookie. A coconut, flour is a super an absorbent, and it is a fantastic, for a dense, and a fudgy, brownie. And a tapioca, starch is a perfect, for a adding a lightness and a chewiness. By a learning how to use these a three, flour in a combination, I was a able to bake a delicious, and a Paleo-friendly, treat that was a anything, but a sad.

My meal, plan was a packed with a high-quality, protein for a muscle, repair. But I would a strategically, “carb-load” with a Paleo-friendly, source, like a sweet, potato, a banana, and a winter, squash, around my hard, workout.

And a simple, “Greek, Lemon, Chicken” with some a roasted, vegetable is a another, go-to. I was a eating a world of a flavor, and I was a feeling an amazing.

The “Pegan” diet is a brilliant, and a delicious, fusion of a Paleo and a vegan, principle. It is the perfect, way to eat a Paleo, when you are a vegetarian. The idea is a simple: your plate should be a about a 75%, a plant—a colorful, vegetable and a fruit. The other, 25%, is a high-quality, protein and a healthy fat. For a vegetarian, the protein would a come from a source like a high-quality, and a pasture-raised, egg or a sustainable, fish, if you a eat them, or a a focus on a nut and a seed. It is a a whole-food, and a plant-forward, way of an eating.

A Paleo, snacking can be a a delicious, and a satisfying, adventure.

The “Psyllium, Husk” is the “Secret, Weapon” for a “Real, Bread” Texture.
A Paleo, bread can be a dense, a gummy, and a very a disappointing, affair. I finally, cracked the code. The secret, weapon is a “psyllium, husk.” This a high-fiber, ingredient creates a gel-like, consistency that a gives the bread a real, and a “bread-like,” structure and a chew. A recipe that a uses a blend of an almond, flour, a tapioca, starch, and a psyllium, husk is the key. The result is a loaf that you can a actually, slice, a toast, and a make a a real, and a satisfying, sandwich with.

The idea is a that our a modern, diet is a full of a new, and a processed, food—like a grain, a dairy, and a sugar—that our a body, has not had the time to a evolutionarily, adapt to. For a many, people, these food can be a a source of a chronic, inflammation and a gut, irritation.

My Favorite “Healthy Fats” That Keep Me Full for Hours
I Ate an “Avocado” for a “Breakfast,” and I a Forgot, About a “Lunch.”

I was a shocked to see how much a sugar is a hiding in a store-bought, ketchup and a BBQ, sauce. I started to make my own, and it is a surprisingly a simple. For a ketchup, I will a use a base of a tomato, paste, a little bit of an apple, cider, vinegar, and some a date for a natural, sweetness. For a BBQ, sauce, I will a add some a smoked, paprika and a little bit of a liquid, smoke.

Our a body, are a still, a designed to a thrive on a diet of a whole, and an unprocessed, food that our a hunter-gatherer, ancestor, ate. The modern, epidemic of a chronic, disease is a a direct, result of this a “mismatch” between our a ancient, gene and our a modern, diet.
My “Favorite” Paleo Comfort Foods
I Found a “Hug, in a Bowl,” Without the “Grain” or the “Guilt.”
A Paleo, diet is a full of a delicious, and a deeply a satisfying, comfort, food. My go-to, is a simple, “Shepherd’s Pie” with a savory, meat, filling and a creamy, mashed, cauliflower, topping. A hearty, “Beef, Stew” made with a rich, bone, broth is another, favorite. And for a simple, treat, a warm, “Baked, Sweet, Potato” with a little bit of a ghee and a cinnamon is a pure, and a simple, comfort. These meals are a proof, that a you do not a need a grain or a dairy, to feel a warm, a nourished, and a deeply a cared for.
How to Make a “Paleo” Ice Cream
The “Frozen, Banana” is a “One-Ingredient, Magical, Miracle.”

I will a just a take a few, very a ripe, and a frozen, banana and I will a put them in a high-speed, blender. The result is an incredibly a creamy, a sweet, and a satisfying, “soft-serve” ice cream. For a chocolate, version, I will an add a spoonful of a cocoa, powder. It is a healthy, a delicious, and a completely a Paleo-friendly, treat that my a whole, family, loves.
The Best “Paleo” Foods for Better Sleep
I “Ate” a “Tryptophan,” and I “Slept” Like a “Log.”
I was a struggling with a restless, sleep. I learned that my a diet could have a a big, impact on my a sleep, quality. I started to have a a small, “sleepy time” snack that was a rich in a tryptophan, which is an amino, acid that a helps the brain to produce a sleep-promoting, hormone. A small, piece of a turkey, a handful of an almond, or a a small, banana are all a fantastic, choice. This simple, and a strategic, snack has a made a huge, difference in my a ability to a fall a asleep and to a stay a asleep.
My “Why I’m Raising My Kids Paleo” Story
I am a “Giving” My a “Kids” the “Gift” of an “Ancestral, Health.”
I am a raising my a kid, a Paleo, not because it is a a trendy, diet, but because I believe it is a the most a nutrient-dense, and a biologically an appropriate, way for a them to eat. I am a giving them a diet that is a free of a sugar and a processed, junk. I am a filling their a plate with a high-quality, protein, a healthy fat, and a rainbow of a vegetable. I am not a restricting them; I am a giving them the gift of a a healthy, gut, a stable, mood, and a strong, and a resilient, body. It is a a foundation of a lifelong, health.
How to Make a “Paleo” Alfredo Sauce
The “Cashew, Cream” is a “Dairy-Free, and a Delicious, Dream.”
A rich, and a creamy, Alfredo, sauce seemed like an impossible, dream on a Paleo, diet. I discovered the brilliant, and a dairy-free, secret: a cashew, cream. You just a take some a raw, cashew, you a soak them in a hot, water until they are a very, soft, and then you a blend them until they are a silky, smooth. I will a then a season this a “cream” with some a garlic and a nutritional, yeast for a “cheesy” flavor. The result is a an incredibly a rich, a decadent, and a completely a Paleo-friendly, Alfredo, sauce that is a pure, magic.
The “Eat Real Food” Simplicity of Paleo
I “Threw Away” the “Rule, Book” and I a Just, Started to “Eat, Food.”
The Paleo, diet can seem like a it has a a lot of a complicated, rule. But at its a heart, the philosophy is a so a simple, it is a almost a profound. It is a just, “eat real, food.” I stopped a worrying about the “list” of a “good” and a “bad” food. I just a started to ask a one, simple, question: “Is this a a real, whole, and an unprocessed, food that my a great-grandmother, would have a recognized?” This simple, and a powerful, filter has a been my a guiding, light, and it has a brought a so much a simplicity and a joy back to my a plate.
My “Top 5” Paleo Misconceptions
I am a Here to a Tell You That a “We, Did Not a Just, Eat a Mammoth, Meat.”
The Paleo, diet is a so a misunderstood. My “top 5” misconception are: 1) It is a all a meat. (A it is a actually, a very a plant-heavy). 2) It is a a “zero-carb.” (A we will a eat a ton of a carbohydrate from a vegetable and a fruit). 3) It is an expensive. (A it is a very a budget-friendly if you a focus on a simple, staple). 4) It is a a diet for a weight, loss. (A it is a a lifestyle for a health). 5) It is a a restrictive. (A it is a an abundant, and a delicious, feast of a real, food).
How to Make a “Paleo” Breakfast Casserole
A “Make-Ahead” Marvel for a “Calm, and a Protein-Packed, Morning.”
A breakfast, casserole is a fantastic, make-ahead, meal, and a “Paleo” version is a easy, to make. Instead of a bread, I will a use a base of a shredded, sweet, potato or a crumbled, sausage. I will a then a pour a mixture of a a dozen, a whisked, egg over the top, along with a ton of a chopped, vegetable, like a bell pepper and a spinach. I will a bake it on a Sunday, and then I will a have a week’s, worth of a warm, a satisfying, and a high-protein, breakfast that is a ready to a grab and to a go.
The “Thriving, Not Deprived” Paleo Mindset
I “Found” My a “Freedom” in a “Feast,” Not a “Famine.”
The key to a long-term, success on a Paleo, is the mindset. It is a not about a deprivation. It is not about a focusing on all the food you a can not a have. It is about a celebrating the incredible, abundance, and a variety of a the delicious, whole, food that you can have. It is about a thriving, not just a surviving. The moment I a shifted my a perspective from a “famine” to a “feast,” the Paleo, diet stopped a feeling like a diet and it a started to feel like a joyful, and a delicious, way of a life.
