My paleo diet
Some of you know that I have undertake 1 week diet called paleo diet
awhile ago. The reason? Well, I want to detox my body,
gain energy and I want to see how strong my willpower is because
with this 'cavemen' diet you are not allowed to eat refined sugary
food, deep fried food, dairy products and all grain products.
Like, oh crud.
Like, oh crud.
This idea shocked & challenged me as I'm so used of having my
bowl of cereals in the morning and rice in the evening. Luckily
I can have all kind of fruit and veggies (except legumes) and meat which
in my case: seafood.
And if you think you can eat 5 steaks in a row you're wrong.
'a real' cavemen don't have steaks within their reach.
So you have to think (and maybe hunt) like a cavemen and eat
in small portions.

Being a first-timer this diet is do-able. Absolutely. You do
have to be honest with yourself otherwise this
paleo diet might be not the right diet for you.
Here are my positive findings and enjoy my picture spam of
food!:
1. Creative in cooking (no ready-made food so you are forced to make food)
2. Gained ALOT more energy -- my body felt so young haha.
3. Lost 3 kilo in a week.
First time prepared stir fried shrimp dish for my lunchbox. Should do this more often!
Gotta be my favorite dish of my paleo days: brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes and grilled salmon!
One of my breakfast: kiwi and apple, dusted with nutmeg and cinnamon.
No chocolate, chips, cookies as afternoon snack but nuts and dried fruit.
One of the lunch I have enjoyed: assorted veggie omelet with avocado, rocket and granny smith salad.
Rocket sald with peaches and grilled salmon.
I think my fiber is very alright as well, I've been eating green salads everyday!

ReplyDeleteOmgsh this looks soo delicious! I just had 2 eggs, a tomato and an avocado for lunch and I feel so gooood!
ReplyDeleteWOW the food looks good too!
ReplyDeleteThis diet looks interesting, I think I need something to detox my body and gain more strength too. I've actually never done a diet but this looks very interesting. It'l be difficult for me though, aha!

Everything looks so simple and delicious! I should try this kind of diet, too! But I guess, I couldn't abstain from meat and sweets, haha. However, congrats that you already lost 3kg a week - that's incredible :)
ReplyDeleteoooh they actually look really good! the diet doesn't sound as hard with seafood around. c:
ReplyDeleteziet er heerlijk uit... en ik zou het graag ook eens doen!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a medal for this, I don't know how I'd be able to cut all those foods out because they're the staple fo my diet, haha.
ReplyDeleteHet ziet er allemaal super lekker uit! Ik ben echt rampzalig in de keuken, ik zou zo'n dieet nog geen dag overleven haha.
ReplyDeleteI tried the Paleo diet once, and gave in after 3 days to the temptation of cereal and chocolate. It's tough being a vegetarian on Paleo diet, but your dishes look appetizing and varying I'd give it another go! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!! Wanna do it too^^
ReplyDeleteDid you follow any food-plan or just searched for recipes online? :)
Ik had zoiets ook graag willen doen, helaas werkt de rest van het gezin niet mee!
ReplyDeleteI'm under the same kind of diet at the moment, so your pictures are really inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI always eat super healthy but it's not enough for me to lose weight (I guess my body is used to it?), so it's also a motivation when you say you've lost 3kg in 1 week by doing so! ^O^
Looks great, except voor de spruitjes. Juck! D:
ReplyDeleteDamn it all looks GOOD! Who would have thought? I bet you are one healthy lady :-)
ReplyDeleteHooray for being healthy! Have you thought about juicing? Best thing ever! Detoxing is a lot of fun, very much I would recommend once every 2 months. :)
ReplyDeletei really admire people who can do this. i've been meaning to go vegetarian and then vegan but have failed! it was just too hard to cook and come up with dishes so that i don't eat the same thing over and over again. the pictures you put up are fantastic. and so good that you are feeling more energized!
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of random, but the cherry tomatoes you have are huge. The ones I buy are around the size of a grape.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, congrats on finishing up with your diet! I could never handle that, since I live off of noodles and processed foods. D:
Now i'm curious :)I wanna try it!
ReplyDeletesince i love veggies & fruit's i think i can do it :D

ReplyDeleteThank your for sharing your experince with us Mei! I was so curious about it :D the food looks exactly like food I could eat every day and love it. So fresh and colourful! I don't eat a lot of processed food and am on a diet myself right now. Not a very healthy one though.. maybe I'll write about it later ;)
ReplyDeleteThe 3kg definitely showed off!! I think that's a lot of kilos for one week and such an amazing result!
your food made me so hungry http://differentcands.blogspot.kr/2013/08/joggers.html
ReplyDeleteWoooooooooow, heb je nog meer leuke (en lekkere ;D) lunchbox ideeën? Jouw lunchbox ziet er zo yummy uit. Ik eet namelijk bijna nooit brood als lunch :P
ReplyDeleteDenk je dat je door blijft gaan met Paleo?
just enought to prove that healthiness and yumminess can
ReplyDeleteblend too, haha very ideal and i would love to have those
oh wow you make me so determined to eat healthy with all these delicious looking food!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment, it means a lot!
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether I can do it as I'm a veggie and then a lot of the allowed stuff wouldn't be for me!
Have a fantastic day,
