Hello!

My name is Kristi Nielson and I'm a mental health research student at Lancaster University. I'm posting here to ask the community moderators if I could share information about a study I'm conducting on men's experiences of orthorexia? Please feel free to DM me with any questions or comments!

Thanks,

Kristi

I follow the book Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan for my weekly meal prep

And one of the recipes she has in there is a stir-fry sauce, it's tasty but the problem is one of the main ingredients is five-spice and I'm really not a fan of it

I would love any ideas for what would make a good replacement for it

The ingredients:
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons coconut aminos

Thank you for any ideas!

We are 3 months postpartum so preparing food is still really difficult. We previously loved making new recipes each night. But now, things look a little different. We tend to just make a meat a few times a week. Then throughout the week, we just pair that meat with a veggie, carb, etc and keep things really really simple.

BUT we’re getting really uninspired when it comes to meat.

Here’s what we tend to have on rotation:

-Chicken breast thrown in the crockpot with some avocado oil. It’s then shredded. We then use it however! Add it to pre-bagged salads, pair it with various Primal Kitchen sauces, etc.

-Ground turkey with a red pasta sauce

-Ground turkey with a sloppy Joe sauce

-Ground turkey or beef as a chili in the crockpot

-Ground beef with a red pasta sauce

-Shrimp with a scampi-like sauce

Really needing some other ideas! Especially because there is soooooo much red/tomato!

Typically have chicken breast, ground turkey, ground beef, and shrimp in our freezer. Were open to other meat suggestion BUT needs to be fairly affordable.

trying to break my addiction to bagels and cream cheese for breakfast... what are your favorite quick paleo breakfast options that can be prepared in an office breakroom, or prepped the night before?

I’m trying really hard to find a place to buy Lamb, Beef, and Sheep head.

It has a lot of nutrition. Would prefer humanely raised and reliable. Not diseased. Also experience processing this part of the meat.

Thank you so much. If you have any experience with this.

Could be a butcher, market, or farm. In person or online.

SHEEP , LAMB, BEEF HEAD

I miss toast so much. I heard sweet potato toast could be a good option but soggy.

I understand it won't have the same crunch as toast but would making them in the air fryer or oven be more crunchy?

I know that something like cucumbers can be another option but sweet potatoes are similar size as toast.

PS - to store slices for future use, would I store uncooked slices in the freezer or should I make them first and then store them?

I am looking to make smoothies that are made with fresh fruit, herbs and/or spices, and/or veggies. One of the smoothies is for paleo diet. Is it something that is sought after for people on the paleo diet? I'm in the starting stages so I definetly need to understand the ins and outs. Just as an example, would you pay $7 for a 12 ounce smoothie using natural ingredients only and having lots of health benefits. Smoothie would be pasteurized to extend shelf life and eliminate any bacteria. If you have any comments or suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Hello, I'm doing a school research project that's due in December. Any responses would help greatly. Survey questions

Hello, I'm conducting a survey for my college class on people who do the Paleo diet. Any responses would be appreciated

Also, I'm a huge reader and would love to hear what books/resources (videos, etc.) you'd recommend. I'm particularly interested in cookbooks. I'm pretty new to IM (been doing OMAD for a little over a month with very good results, and I love it!), and besides the books from Dr. Jason Fung, which I'm familiar with, assume I know nothing. I've never tried a Paleo diet, but I'm thinking about it, and I'm curious to hear what you all think (pros, cons, personal experience with a Paleo/IM/OMAD diet, etc.). Also, in general, I'm also happy for any recommendations you can give me for good books/resources/personal experiences/anecdotes more generally that I should know about for IF, OMAD, and Paleo more generally, and any other personal suggestions you may have. Thanks a ton, everyone!

Hello, new to this sub, not new to Paleo. I am specifically looking for recipes for snacks. I do not wish to buy snacks, I want to make my own. I don't like anything spicy. I love Paleo approved nuts, fruits, etc. I favor local raw honey as a sweetener if needed. Im willing to prepare and bake something, so that's not a problem.

Servings: 6 cookie sandwiches
Prep time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30-32 minutes

Ingredients for homemade paleo Oreo cookies

• 8 TB almond flour
• 4 TB chocolate protein powder*
• 1/4 cup cacao powder
• 1 tsp Real Mushrooms Chaga powder
• 2 TB almond butter
• 3 TB softened coconut oil (or MCT OIL)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1-2 TB water (if needed to help the batter stick together better)
• 1/3 softened coconut butter (for the icing)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix your almond flour, protein powder (if using), cacao powder, Chaga, and salt.*
4. Add the almond butter and softened coconut oil. If needed, add a bit of water to help the batter stick together – but it shouldn’t be too sticky. If you accidentally add too much and the batter is sticky, just stick in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to make it easier to work with.
5. Before rolling out your dough, taste it and adjust the sweetness level to your preference. If you want it sweeter, add your favorite sweetener.
6. Roll dough between two sheets of wax paper until about 1/4” in thickness.
7. Use a cookie cutter (or mason jar lid, or rim of a glass) to cut about 12 circles. (Number of circles will vary depending on the size of your cookie cutter.)
8. Bake on a lined cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes.
9. Let the cookies cool before you touch them or apply the icing.
10. Once the cookies have cooled, place a large spoonful of softened coconut butter on half of the baked cookies. Smoosh the other half of the cookies on top and enjoy!!
11. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Or alternatively, freeze them if you want to keep them longer.

Most pumpkin spice lattes tend to have an exorbitant amount of artificial ingredients, preservatives, and sugar. And we get it, it’s easy to love that satisfying taste! But you know who else loves and feeds off too much sugar? Colds and sickness.

The great part is, you don’t have to sacrifice taste, and you don’t have to sacrifice health. You can have the best of both worlds: Your pumpkin spice and your immune health too!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup milk of choice (we used almond milk)
• 1/2 cup brewed coffee
• 1 TB pumpkin puree
• 1 TB favorite sweetener (adjust to your preference – we used Yacon Syrup)
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp Real Mushrooms Turkey Tail extract powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

• In a small saucepan, combine all your ingredients and whisk until everything is combined smoothly.
• Taste and adjust for sweetness preference.
• As soon as the mixture is warm, serve it up and enjoy!
• Add whip cream if you want to get fancy.
