Paleo Recipes
Hello!
I thought I’d create this discussion for people who eat paleo to share recipes, ideas, questions.. anything really!
I am just starting back up with my paleo diet, I always find it difficult at first to actually REACH the amount of calories I am supposed to be eating in the day. I am always under. I work in a restaurant so my time to cook and meal times are all over the place.

The 'paleo' diet fell by the wayside around here several years ago, so you may not get many (any) responses. Google, Pinterest etc are likely to be more fruitful.0

So the Paleo diet is now so old in the digital era account of these things, it now requires digital archeology to uncover? I wonder if eventually we'll reach the era where people tell false, romanticised narratives of what Paleo Dieters of the 20th/21st century ate....2 -

We'll just have to hope that there are still archaeologists in the future to set them straight

Here is a soup recipe that is great to keep you warm during the winter months. This falls into many fad/restrictive diet categories like Paleo, Keto, Whole30, Low Carb, Dairy-Free and probably Gluten-Free too.
This soup is mine and my BF go to soup when we are feeling under the weather.
As a side note I add way more garlic and oregano than what it calls for. I measure that *kitten* with my heart.
We also wait about 10 minutes after adding in the apple cider vinegar to serve the soup to allow the ACV to fully mix in.
Personal opinion: 5/5 stars. Delicious!1 -

Paleo slowly died and became Keto. Search for keto recipes.
Paleo and keto are not the same thing, and paleo most certainly did not 'become' keto. It just lost popularity.5 -

Explain the difference... if they are not the same thing.
Keto just replaced good for you carbs from veggies with fat.
Paleo centers around eating natural foods.
It literally gets its name from eating things that our ancestors would have been able to find during the Paleolithic period. Beef needs to be grass fed, as well as any dairy products, because corn and grain is not a natural part of the human diet. Most true paleo diets do not include any dairy. No potatoes, grains, beans, or legumes, but sweet potatoes are okay. No hydrogenated oils, added sugars, or added salts.
Keto is just low carb. Paleo is mimicking the diet of cavemen.2 -

Except the 'paleo' diet doesn't actually mimic the diet of our ancestors (who didn't all live in caves). 'Things our ancestors would have been able to find during the Palaeolithic' includes grains (based on archaeological evidence that people were, in fact, eating grains), for a start. And many of the things 'allowed' on the 'paleo' diet flat out did not exist in the form we recognise, others would have killed you, or at least made you very sick (I'm looking at you, tomatoes and almonds). As for potatoes vs sweet potatoes, one starchy tuber is okay and the other isn't? How is that even logical? Corn as we know it is on the list of 'things that didn't exist', people were obviously exploiting (aka eating) its antecedent, otherwise it never would have been cultivated and altered into the form we recognise through domestication. Likewise, people didn't just suddenly decide to start eating beans and legumes with the advent of agriculture. If you're going to exclude corn, you also need to exclude pretty much every other vegetable we put on our plates.
About the only logical item on the 'no go' list is dairy, if you're looking at it from the perspective of things eaten during the Palaeolithic (a vast time span, FYI, with massive differences in the kinds of foods available both through that time, and geographically). But, we've been eating dairy for several thousand years now, and most people of Western European descent have no issues with it.
As to keto - more specifically, it's low carb/high fat. And has been around a lot longer than paleo. Both were equally popular when I joined MFP 5 years ago. Also, no such thing as 'bad for you' carbs.8 -
No one owns the term Paleo and today's Paleo is mostly imaginary thinking. Eating grassfed beef and all of those Paleo meat bars along with the pristine clean foods. If you only knew what people were actually eating not so long ago it would blow the socks right off your feet. Paleo peoples lived in harsh climates with brutally long winters. The rivers and lakes were frozen and there was so little to eat. The half has not been told. It wasn't so long ago, 400 years is just a drop in bucket on the timeline of Paleo peoples. I'm glad Paleo is going by the way of the dodo along with all of those other variations on a theme.1

No, actually. Again, long, long time span, vast differences in geographic area in terms of where human populations were living, vast differences in climate (which fluctuated considerably during the Palaeolithic), and therefore what foods they had access to. The idea that all Palaeolithic people were eking out an existence on the frozen tundra is as laughable as the 'paleo' diet.

I'm not talking about the frozen tundra or the North Pole or the Inuits. I'm talking modern day notions of Paleo. It can mean absolutely anything to anyone. The sky is not the limit and it never was. Mostly, it means clean eating with pristine clean foods. Oooo, there could be dairy with kefir and fermented foods, kombucha, date and egg white paleo bars, nut pods and coconut oil. Omega 3 enriched eggs and poultry. Lamb, pork, turkey, chicken and beef. Lots of trendy sauces to spread all around on your layers of greens with pristine clean meats and foods. Bowls of pristine perfection.
Most people think of Paleo as the Thanksgiving Dinner with the Pilgrims and a lorra lorra imaginary thinking.0 -
@bkshucks If you work in a restaurant strive to eat all of your calories. Can't they make you some Grab N Go bites while you're on the run. I would think that's the least they could do for you while you're working so hard.
I don't know what kinds of foods they're cooking but there should be something there you can have. Otherwise, you're going to have to do your food prep, cook your own meals and bring a lunchbox with your own bites to eat while you're on the run. There's all kinds of paleo cookbooks out there. Google is your friend and you'll find all kinds of sites with paleo recipes. Paleo is a deeply felt set of principles or not. It can be fun or food rules, regulations with a bunch of food group elimination. It's what you make of it and I wish you well out there in the restaurant. Don't work too hard now and take time for yourself to grab a bite.0 -

I was responding to this from your post: Paleo peoples lived in harsh climates with brutally long winters. The rivers and lakes were frozen and there was so little to eat.
Which is flat out wrong. Don't worry, it's a common misconception. I was merely trying to correct misinformation.2
