Any other Paleo eaters in here?

Yes I did. Pounded those wheat kernals to flour to make the home made buns and shaped those patties of ground meat by hand. I did use food safe prep gloves to make cleanup easier and to help eliminate cross contamination issues. I may like paleo, but I don't need a case of Paleo Green Apple Quick Step.

FYI this was a paleo/ice age cow. This was a grass fed steer that we finished for 3o days on grain. Makes for a tastier meat upon slaughter. You got's to understand. I ain't no city slicker. Grew up farming and ranching and have raised beves for years just to put on our own table.

Jazzie, I have done something like that; the low-carb diet. Quite a few years ago though, and now it's time to re-up.

Okay, I had to post this for you Jazzie - not to talk you out of anything, but just because it's friggin' hilarious It's not about the whole experience, just about one particular attempt at making Paleo-friendly cookies. And she does link to a recipe, so it might be useful to you.

No recipes but funny.

@limr that was pretty funny! I could write something similar about the "two ingredient paleo pancakes" I've been making. The kids love them. My youngest inhales them. They look like pancakes. They even Smell like pancakes. They smell delicious! But They. Are. Not. Pancakes. I have to gag down every bite. The texture is.....unique. Hahaha.

@gryphonslair99 , that was HILARIOUS!!!

In case anyone was wondering, I did not eat a mammoth for dinner. I had chicken stuffed poblanos with avocado cream sauce and it was delicious.

Ok, so we have to give you kudos for killing everything with your bare hands true caveman style. But do you deserve the extra bonus points?

When you pounded out the kernels, did you use your forehead? Lol

 

[table1349]

No. I didn't want to break the granite slab I was pounding the wheat kernels on.

This would be Paleo

Hamburger bun recipe

Honey Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil (If using coconut oil, select the refined kind that doesn't taste like coconuts)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast (or one packet)
• 2 to 3.5 cups of whole wheat flour (see note below)
• Sesame seeds or rolled oats (optional--for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey, butter, and milk over low heat until the butter is just slightly melted. Don't boil or simmer this mixture-- you want it just barely warm.
2. Place the yeast in a mixing bowl.
3. Mix the lukewarm honey/milk mixture into the yeast and stir well. Add the egg and salt. Gradually add in the flour, mixing and kneading as you go.
4. Once the dough gets to the point where it is forming a ball, I let it rest for 2-3 minutes. The whole wheat flour tends to soak up liquid over time, so giving it a few minutes allows the flour to soak up liquid and helps to prevent you from adding too much. After this resting period is complete, I go back in and add more flour if needed.
5. Knead 6-7 minutes, adding flour as needed. Cover the dough ball and allow it to rise in a warm place for one hour.
6. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 portions (12 if you like smaller buns). Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it.
7. I flatten mine so they are pretty close to the size I want my finished buns to be-- during the rising process, they will mostly rise up, not out.
8. Cover the dough circles and allow them to rise 30 minutes in a warm place.
9. Bake at 375 degrees in a preheated oven for 12-18 minutes.
10. A minute or two before they come out of the oven, you can brush them with melted butter and sprinkle on some sesame seeds or rolled oats. This isn't necessary, but definitely makes for a pretty end product.

I've been on a similar diet recently(and stricter but involved lots of meat, meat and some more meat) and I've read tones of articles and spoke with a few nutritionists during that time.

My conclusion, everyone of them/nutritionists is "pro something" and "against something", they're so exclusive about diets, what they do is the best and what others do is wrong. I don't like that.

And my conclusion ... thanks God I'm not on that diet anymore!!!

There it is. Just use basic raw ingredients and combine them into good healthy food. This way you have total control over fat/carb/salt/vitamin/sugar content.

I call it the runnah diet, books are for sale on amazon for $19.95.

Seems that way sometimes. Anyway, I noticed the original post was edited so maybe I misread it the first time, I thought this was something being tried since it seemed like it might be workable with a kid having food allergies.

I started looking it up because I thought it was something new, but apparently it's actually been around for awhile. It isn't in use as far as I can tell, I find it rather surprising that it would be recommended, at least I can't find anything that supports it.

I hate to burst in with negative waves but I would like to make a few points.

The Paleo diet has been around since the first animal ate another.

Neanderthals lived on a paleo diet and look were they ended up. Humans like bears are omnivores and are adapted specifically for that regime. Eating lots of red meat gives you terrible gout in later life aswell as bowl cancer. Google Loui Theroux, BBC, documentary on Paleo.
