Paleo…so easy a caveman can do it!!!
I just want to say that I am more impressed each and every day with the progress EVERYONE is making. People are hitting PR’s left and right. I am starting to see noticeable changes in your appearance. Confidence levels are raising to new limits every day. If you haven’t noticed by now, this stuff really does work! Hats off to everyone who hit a new PR today in the dead lift! This is truly one of the finest measures of your bodies overall raw strength.
As the “Whole Life Challenge Worldwide” approaches, we’re all getting excited and amped up for this incredible event. Everyone’s getting their fish oil ready, buying a foam roller and lacrosse balls for your mobility, and clearing out all the junk from your fridge and replacing it with “WLCW” approved food. Life is great, until you run into this problem…”How do I stay Paleo while I’m on the road?” Don’t worry, you’re not alone. As a matter of fact, everyone has been in that situation. To keep you on track with your healthy lifestyle while having fun with friends, we have come up with some tips to help keep things manageable.
Tips:
- Stick with “Paleo” ingredients: Meats, vegetables, nuts and fruit.
- For the road trips, camping in the wilderness and similar activities, pack the paleokits and coconut water. If those are not available, regular pre-packed beef jerky will do, but is not the most ideal.
- If you’re at a restaurant, order any entree with meat being the center of the dish, and if possible (most likely) tell the kitchen to replace the usual side like mashed potatoes, rice or fries with steamed vegetables…and skip the complimentary bread…I know it’s very tempting
- Alcohol is out of the question, especially beer. If you’ve gotta have one, stick to clear liquor and don’t go over 1-2 drinks. Skip the chasers and mixers too.
- Steer clear of fast food restaurants, their foods (even the meat) could survive a nuclear attack!
There you go guys…as long as you stick to the tips above, you should have no problem staying within 90% of Paleo. Remember, these do not replace a proper home cooked meal, so don’t take this for granted. However, these will help you out when you’re out with friends or in a pinch and can’t cook for yourself.
Disclaimer: For the WLCW…you will have to know exactly what is in EVERYTHING you are eating….yes, you’ll have to ask all those questions at restaurants to figure out if the food is WLCW approved or not. However; outside of those 8 weeks, the tips above can help you stay around 90% Paleo compliant at all times.
Good luck and see you at “Whole Life Challenge Worldwide!”
