Paleo Bread

it does have flour...

•1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
•2 tablespoons coconut flour
•1/4 cup golden flaxseed meal
•1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
•1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
•5 eggs
•1/4 cup coconut oil
•1 tablespoon honey
•1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

and to the OP I wasn't critizing...I was asking as Paleo spefically says no bread...as it is processed and uses method which were not available to Paleolithic man...

And I know this as I have family who are die hard paleo eaters...no bread of any sort...no processing of foods that wasn't present during that time...etc.



EAT:
•Grass-produced meats
•Fish/seafood
•Fresh fruits
•Fresh Vegetables
•Eggs
•Nuts
•Seeds
•Healthy oils (Olive, walnut, flaxseed, macadamia, avocado, coconut)




DON’T EAT:
•Cereal grains
•Legumes (including peanuts)
•Dairy
•Refined sugar
•Potatoes
•Processed foods
•Salt
•Refined vegetable oils
•Candy / Junk / Processed Food
Key here is "processed food" and to grind the nuts = processed

Paleo bread isn't that an oxymoron?

So call it something else.

If she likes it, and it fits her goals, who cares?

Well actually a lot of people do. Labels mean a lot. If you promote something as Paleo it goes along with the flawed concept of Paleo. You tell everyone it's the caveman diet then you back peddle just so you can include certain other things within the diet. (which what the Paleo industry and supporters have started to do)

Paleo bread is just another example of why the Paleo concept is so flawed. Eat what you want I have no problem with that but please stop trying to pretend it's something it's not

But if it's made from all things that are paleo (almonds, coconut, etc) how is it not paleo?

Do you have to bake it? I just think it's funny it's called Paleo bread when bread itself is not allowed on Paleo. You'll eat bread, but you won't eat a pizza crust made of cheese because it's not allowed.

What's allowed is an easier thing for me to answer, which includes vegetables, nuts, fruits, meats, etc

The bread comes from everything that is allowed. So hm.

So it's allowable because it doesn't have wheat in it? I am genuinely confused as to why it's allowed. How do you bake bread with no flour and yeast?

The grind almonds, coconut & seeds and use that to make it. No yeast is required. I'm not a baker, so I can't exactly go into the very detail about it.

I'm not even asking if you agree with my choice- I'm asking about the taste.

I don't even care what you eat! I was just asking why it was allowed and what makes it okay. Geez... :grumble:

I love my microwave paleo bread!

I'll have to try this- thank you!

I say go for it if that's what you want. But seriously - something about the words "Microwarve Paleo Bread" makes no sense!!

You're absolutely correct. After I posted it and thought about it, I did add to my original post that the combination of words may sound dumb. Regardless, the bread is quick and delicious and I wanted to share with OP because it's a more affordable version of the bread they're speaking of. The use of the word paleo merely means the recipe uses paleo friendly ingredients, not that cavemen had the ability to make it. Obviously, there are as many different levels of paleo as there are vegetarian. I'm not strict paleo, but I do enjoy many of the recipes because I like to keep things simple. To each their own! :drinker:

So don't eat pale. Focus on YOUR eating and move on.

Thanks for the reiteration. I've all ready addressed this, though.

How is it not paleo if it is made only from things allowed by paleo (almond, coconut, etc)?

If you can't answer that, then I don't need your criticism !

Well let's look at the actual definition of BREAD:

bread
bred/
noun
noun: bread; plural noun: breads

1.
food made of flour, water, and yeast or another leavening agent, mixed together and baked.
"a loaf of bread"

See nothing about coconut, almond, etc.

Hope that answered your question.

you guys, she doesn't want to hear anything that she doesn't agree with.

must be new to teh interwebz

btw, i love how you only eat paleo after breakfast....roflzomglololol!!!!!11!1!!11one!!!eleven!!!

Actually, I only wanted comments on the taste. Which no one has even really mentioned. Funny how everyone just wanted to criticize, though.

So why then mention anything about Paleo? Why not just ask if the bread you bought tastes good?:huh:

Honestly- I only wanted to know if the dang bread was good.

Thought MFP was suppose to be a community of uplifting, encouraging people.

Well truth is part of that too. We're not here to be pacifiers to those who need it.

Boy this place never ceases to amaze me.

Hmm not sure about Paleo bread. I have had the sprouted grain bread {Ezekiel} but im sure that’s not Paleo… The cinnamon raisin kind is delicious!

Between this Paleo thread and the clean eating thread I feel like I am supposed to eat a couple of slices of pizza or a cheeseburger for dinner tonight and if I don’t then im the ‘devil’ lol.

DO NOT BE CRITICAL IF YOU DO NOT READ EVERYTHING. Reiteration is annoying as heck.

DO NOT START A FORUM POST IF YOU ARE ANNOYED BY OPINIONS THAT DIFFER FROM YOURS.

I have a lot of criticisms of the "paleo diet," but its undeniable benefit is that it gets people to eat less processed/pre-packaged junk food and that is always a win. So I feel like buying "paleo friendly" packaged foods defeats the most healthful aspect of being paleo.

You can try making banana pancakes for breakfast instead. All it takes is two eggs and one ripe banana. Mash them together into a batter and fry them in coconut oil.

Honestly- I only wanted to know if the dang bread was good.

It's the internet sweetie. Yes there's lots of good ppl on MFP, but being the internet you'll get lots of trolls and plan old d!cks. I've seen quite a few know-it-alls thinking that their opinion is the only correct opinion and anything you say in opposition is dead-wrong and perhaps even a personal attack. Gawd forbid you should have a different idea than they have :yawn:
Plus ppl having a bad day Edit: Gawd knows I can be (unknowingly) a d!ck when I'm having a really bad day.
Ignore these ppl, or even block them completely. It won't help your weight challenge being exposed to negativity.

We have a lot of keto/paleo/lowcarb haters on here who will berate those of us who eat this way. Don't sweat it.

the biggest problem with Paleo is that it labels itself as Paleo, but it is far from Paleolothic.

Most "Paleo" eaters of today are not hunters and gatherers and they live in man-made houses, use stoves and oven, internet, cellphones, not caves and they drive cars -- things that our "Paleo ancestors" did not do.

It is not "Paleolithic lifestyle". It merely is ANTI-GRAIN and low carb diet. So get real. As much as I'm not into the vegan diet, at least they are more upfront with naming their diet. Call it what it is.

Which is why if you want to label your diet, better to base it off from the cultural cuisine it has evolved from.

Didn't ask for your opinions on anything but the taste sweetie. Which you strangely didn't comment on, hm.

Lol why does it matter if she used the word 'Paleo'?

As mentioned, Paleo doesn't include bread. If the intention was to ask about taste, then OP should have just asked "Does this bread taste good?" Certainly just that question by itself would have reduced this to only a page or 2 long.
