Chicken for Breakfast?

Breakfast is one of the biggest challenges for a paleo eater. Not because it's hard to get calories but because you must break the habit of eating all those carbs! The SAD ( standard American diet) usually consists of a bagel, muffin, pastry, or toast for breakfast but on the paleo diet this is a no no.

Instead, you must get used to eating LEAN meats, fruits, even veggies and nuts for breakfast. My typical morning usually consists of;

• LEAN meat
• Fruit

It takes time to get used to this but I promise, it will get easier. Plus, the satiating effect of protein and the small sugar rush from the fruit makes the perfect power meal that will sustain you all the way to lunch!

If you think this is harsh then you are wrong! Think about this... a paleo diet would allow you to eat a crab and prosciutto filled omelet topped with garlic sauteed spinach and a mixed fruit salad... how awesome does that sound?!?!



^^ fruit and meat for breakfast... caveman style!

This also makes sense for our diet doesn't it? Any caveman would have only eaten what he had left over from the night before... who wants to forage first thing in the morning? Most likely it was left over meat and fruit or nuts.
