Salamon salad

Last night I've made a delicious salmon salad! I've used:

• ruccola 

• tomatoes 

• avocado 

• olive oil 

• balsamic vinegar  

• salmon 

• little parmesan cheese 

Ready in 10 mins.and it is just as delicious as it is looks like on the picture! 

Bon appetite! 😊🍴

Figs

Last night I've been thinking what to eat for dinner. I wanted something which taste awesome and looks just perfect on the picture.
So I went shopping on the way home, and bought figs, prosciutto ham, ruccola..
I have done this before, and even my brother who's a chef in a 4* hotel in Hungary never had that kinda meal before!
What you need is:
• 2 figs
• 4 slice of prosciutto ham
• little handful ruccola salad
• little olive oil
• balsamic vinegar (thicker one)
Wash and cut the two ends of the figs, and cut them in half.
Wrap them in the prosciutto ham, and place them on the plate.
Get a little handful ruccola salad, and place it on the middle of the plate.
Sprinkle it with a little olive oil-only the salad-tiny little salt of you would like.
When it's done, sprinkle the whole plate with balsamic vinegar, and enjoy this delicious meal!
Bon appetite! :)

What to eat and what not to eat

What to eat and what not to eat

The Paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic!
In general, eating Paleo means eating veggies, fruits, meats, fish, certain fats, nuts, and seeds. And it means removing grains (breads, pastas, rice, etc), beans, soy, dairy, certain vegetable oils, and refined sugar from your diet.
 When I started Paleo I thought I will be hungry all the time, after I've seen what can I eat and what not!
But it turned out exactly the opposite! I've NEVER been hungry! I ate 5x a day, and still was losing weight!
It was an incredible feeling what I never felt before!

So here they are: 

FOODS TO EAT:  

 

VEGETABLES 

All veggies are acceptable, including sweet potatoes. 

 FRUITS
In general, fruit guidelines are the same as veggie guidelines. Organic and local are best. If you’re really trying to lose weight and you’re not active at all, limit your fruit intake to one or two pieces a day, as the carbs can add up.

MEATS and EGGS:

Eat meats and eggs freely. 

• Game Meats
• Organ Meats
• Pork
• Beef
• Chicken
• Turkey
• Goat
• Lamb
• Eggs   

FISH, SHELL FISH, FISH EGGSAll species are fine!

  
NUTS & SEEDS
All are good, as well as the butters that are made from them. Also on this list are coconut flour and almond flour. Peanuts are NOT NUTS – they’re legumes, and thus are not on the list. If you’re trying to lose weight, limit nuts and seeds to about 1 or 2 ounces per day, as the calories add up quickly!
  
FATS

• tallow (rendered beef fat)
• lard (rendered pork fat)
• coconut oil/milk/manna
• extra virgin olive oil
• walnut oil
• avocado oil
• macadamia oil
• hazelnut oil

  
COCONUT PRODUCTS

• Coconut oil
• Coconut milk
• Coconut manna/butter
• Coconut vinegar
• Coconut aminos
• Coconut sugar
• Coconut nectar

  
EAT IN MODERATION

• Coffee
• Chocolate
• Sesame
• Dried fruit
• Alcohol (all kinds)
• Caffeinated teas
• Sweeteners – Raw honey, stevia, coconut sap, grade B maple syrup

 BEVERAGES

• Filtered or spring water
• Herbal tea
• Coconut water
• Freshly juiced fruits and vegetables

FOODS TO AVOID

GRAINS  

That means flour, even white flour (especially white flour, actually), so conventional bread, pasta, cookies, cake, bagels, muffins, tortillas, and any other white fluffy thing you may love.
Grains mean rice, corn (including tortillas, chips, corn flour, etc.), quinoa (yes, it’s a grain), amaranth, buckwheat, wild rice, spelt, rye, sorghum, oats, and even gluten free oats. No more grains, even if they’re gluten free grains.
  
DAIRY
That means milk, cheese, butter, ghee, yogurt (yes, even your most favorite Greek yogurt – sorry), kefir, whey protein powders, cottage cheese, sour cream.

 BEANS/LEGUMES
That means soy in any form, lentils, black beans, pinto beans, red beans, peanuts (sub out your peanut butter with almond butter), white beans, garbanzo beans, you get the gist.

HIGH OMEGA-6 VEGETABLE OILS 
Vegetable oils aren’t really made from vegetables, which is why we’re still really confused over here about how they came upon that name. What they ARE usually made from are soy, cottonseed, corn, sunflower, and safflower.
These oils are very high in omega 6 fatty acids, which promote inflammation (as opposed to omega 3 fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory). They are debatably one of the major causes of heart disease.

Welcome 😊

I've always been struggling with diet and all sort of things...dieting lasted always for a week-or less-.

So everything started exactly one year ago, after I returned back from my well deserved holiday. 

Never really used scale before, but this time I knew I have to step on it. And I did...what I've seen was shocking...

No need to say, I started to prepare myself for my new life ahead straight away! Took pictures from food I've had in the kitchen, sent it to friends asking do they want it or not. 

I knew it won't be easy but also knew I had to have the strength not to give up! 

So I'll continue this blog with my story, food I've eaten with pictures and recipes!

Also looking forward to your comments, what was the most difficult part of it! 

Thats it for now! :) let's do a little TRX before lunch :)

 

For lunch I've made chicken, little couscous and salad. Nothing special dressing, only little balsamic vinegar!
