I do however eat (gluten free) corn flakes for breakfast just about every day just because it's a lot quicker than making eggs every day. | ||

I already wrote in the OP analysis that hunter gather populations don't usually dip below about 20% carbohydrates and thus are not actually on low carbohydrate diets. Typical hunter gatherer carbohydrate sources ranged from about 22-40% of total energy intake. On a 2,000 calorie diet, this is 440 - 800 calories from carbs which is 110-200g of carbs a day. It's even noted in populations where if they didn't have any type of starch sources such as potatoes that even if they had meats they would say they were starving. The only time low carbohydates are recommended is if a person has metabolic issues or cardiovascular disease or neurodegenerative disorders where low carbohydrate actually improves metabolism to reverse some of these disease processes. | ||

One of the more proficient sources concerning the paleo diet seems to be rob wolf. I bought his ebook on amazon yesterday for like 8 € and started reading a bit and it's really interesting. Has anyone purchased his 30 day transformation thingy for 25$ and knows if it's worth it? And I might be able to abandon bread and pasta/noodles but since Im asian there's no way I can completly avoid (white) rice ^^ because we're having it at least 3-4 times a week. Is that actually a huge problem? Im just eating a small bowl for dinner then anyway. thx in advance | ||

When I was living with my family, I occasionally, symbolically, eat a little bit of rice to appease my parents. An added bonus to not eating rice is that, you will learn to put less salt/soy sauce into your dishes | ||

i am still confused about cooking oil. i use extra virgin (in a darkened bottle) but will happily switch to anything else like butter, but i cant tell if butter in my store is any good... there are lots here http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/search/default.aspx?searchBox=butter&N=4294796066 and im using this one atm coz of the fancy packaging and not because i have any clue (also it was on offer) there is a coconut oil bottle in my store but the packaging doesnt say much and i think i read on the wiki that if its "processed" coconut oil then its shit. this bottle is SUPER cheap so i wouldnt hold my breath about it (tho no1 uses it in this country probably so maaaaaybe thats why its cheap). okay i found it online http://www.ktc-edibles.co.uk/shop.php?sec=prod&prod=6 it says 100% pure coconut oil on it.....idk if this means its not processed or not what else... oh yeah what are examples of high-fat foods that i can buy ? i can only think of milk/dairy and minced beef (ugh). the "real" meat i buy always has fat trimmed off (chicken, turkey, loin steaks) my diet atm is around.. 6 scrambled eggs + bacon + chopped tinned tomato 6 scrambled eggs + chopped tinned tomato scrambled egg + cheese green apples (so expensive ffs) milk (gonna stop this or cut down a lot coz i think its fuckin with me) baked potato (microwaved, skin removed after) + tinned fish (pilchards, tuna, mackeral, salmon) + butter baked potato (microwaved, skin removed after) + tinned fish (pilchards, tuna, mackeral, salmon) + butter + sweetcorn pork loin / turkey breast / chicken breast + tinned carrots OR hmm not sure been putting them in shitty burger buns with ketchup lately  extra virgin olive oil (will switch to butter or that coconut oil if recommended) water energy drink once a week or so instead of weed/alcohol chopped lettuce + chopped fresh tomatoes + pre-grated cheese (bad i know) + french dressing as you can see my food variety is really shit. i bought brussel sprouts coz they were cheap but burnt them in the microwave im kinda thinking about making a thread called "20-Minute Meals in a Simple Format" where we can all contribute and its easy to read..... | ||

- Replace potatoes with sweet potatoes - Eat more fresh veggies like broccoli, spinach and asparagus Stirfrying is really easy, you basically chop up the proteins and veggies, and toss it into a pan. | ||

spinach is really nice i had it the other day so i should get that yeah asparagus i will try i dont think ive ever had it broccoli i will try again lol coliflower i will try coz i like it i just gotta keep an eye on how much these things cost (i cant buy peppers really coz theyre fuckin expensive) is it possible to cut up things like colliflower, brocolli, spinage and asparagus when you cut up your chicken breast and then just lump them all into a pan and fry them together (or in a similar way)? i thought you had to boil veg like that i just used that coconut oil i have to make fried chips (potato) + fried onion. holy shit fried chips + onion is nice, havent done it before for myself :D i thought the potato was gonna all lump together and get stuck to each other but it ended up well. problem is getting the solid coconut oil out of the glass bottle, i ran it under a boiling hot tap several times and got it to trickle out a bit (without shattering into my eyes). cant be much nutrition in this , its all a bit Crispy lol | ||

Depending on how you like your broccoli (I like them completely cooked) broccoli might take a while. Boiling them ahead of time before stir-frying is certainly an option, but I prefer to cook it in a pan. Slow cooked broccoli is amazing. it's basically just bacon, garlic and broccoli cooked over low-med heat for 40 minutes. Asparagus can be stir-fried fairly easily, all you have to do is slice them before tossing them into the pan, goes well with pork or sausages. Spinach takes almost no time to cook. | ||

If you don't like the flavor, try adding a bit of salt. (They take forever to ripen when it's cold though =/) Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter is amazing, you can get it at Trader Joe's if there's one in your area. Put it on veggies, in scambled eggs (like this, minus the extra stuff), etc. Not strictly paleo, but should be fine unless you're super sensitive to dairy. Use plenty of olive oil on salads (anyone have brand recommendations?) Salmon is good and fatty, kinda expensive though. For veggies, I just buy big ass bags of frozen stuff and steam a big batch at a time. For stir fries I just steam them a bit less, then add them in near the end. im kinda thinking about making a thread called "20-Minute Meals in a Simple Format" where we can all contribute and its easy to read..... Yeah I'd like to see a Paleo/Primal-specific quick recipe thread.
