A common question is what to eat while on the Paleo diet. Many are confused. A quick guideline of foods to not eat are: no grains, no sugar (some use Honey), no artificial sweeteners, no soy, no trans-fats, no legumes and for some no dairy. Sounds kind of scary to most, I am sure. Especially the lack of grains and sugar. That means regular commercial breads, crackers, donuts, cookies, etc. BUT, there are ways to create some of your favorite foods in Paleo form. I’ve compiled a little list of foods to enjoy while on Paleo, just for fun. Foods you wouldn’t normally think could be Paleo. Like waffles and muffins!

And while I got you thinking about going Paleo I’d like to mention our awesome app for iPhone. It guides you the whole way. It’s called Paleo Complete. It’s got recipes, weight tracking, water tracking, exercise tracking and progress tracking. But, the absolute BEST FEATURE is the support chat we have in it. You can send us any questions about the diet or the app and we answer you pretty quickly. We give support or motivation as well. We have many other features coming soon too. Check out the app in iTunes today.

WAFFLES

My first recipe I’d like to share is these Easy Paleo Waffles by Civilized Caveman Cooking. Yes, you can enjoy waffles and whipped topping too, on Paleo! 

PANCAKES

We’ve shared with you our own Paleo Pancake Recipe here on the Women’s Diet Network Blog. A simple & tasty recipe.

And I also found these pancakes from PaleOMG look and sound so freakin’ good! Banana Vanilla Bean Pancakes with Mixed Berry Compote – doesn’t that make your mouth water? All her recipes make my mouth water. She even has a cookbook you should check out called Omg. That’s Paleo?.

CUPCAKES

Yes, I said cupcakes! And chocolate ones at that. See! You don’t have to give up EVERYTHING to be on Paleo. Just the stuff that’s not so good for your digestion. Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes with “Peanut Butter” Frosting sound so divine. They are made by Paleo Newbie.
