What is the Paleo Diet?

hi guys this is Kate from Kate updates I wanted to spend some time talking about how I eat which is paleo I get questions a lot about what exactly is the Paleo diet what's involved what isn't and what are the benefits so I wanted to address some of those questions all wrapped up into what is paleo so paleo is a way of eating that um it involves not eating refined foods foods that are highly processed and sticking to lean meats vegetables fruits and healthy oils so things like coconut fish oil some seeds olive oil things like that are all good you avoid gluten and dairy and things that are hard for your body to process so examples of things that are on the Paleo diet would be fruits vegetables lean meats seafood nuts and seeds and then healthy fats which I mentioned before things you avoid are of course dairy and gluten processed foods and uh beans of any kind starches and alcohol for the most part i will say that i do not really avoid alcohol i do have it sometimes but overall you're just trying to keep things out of your body that are hard for your body to process and that can lead to making yourself sick paleo is something that people pursue when they want to fix their it's got autoimmune benefits that have been proven which is the reason why I started looking into it some of the health benefits or just overall benefits you can get from paleo one stable blood sugar you can burn more stored fat its anti-inflammatory clears your skin and helps your teeth it reduces allergies for me I found that I was a little bit allergic to dairy before I started this and then once I completely cut dairy out now if I have dairy on occasions I found that I am really allergic to dairy some people it's more gluten for me it's Terry but it can reduce your allergies and eliminate those it can really aid in digestion I've benefited from that it can balance your energy throughout the day so you're not feeling those fluxes of it's 2pm and I'm dragging and I just want to take a nap when you're eating paleo you feel more energy throughout your entire day you sleep better it can help with your workouts I run better there's also a lot of things that are more technical that you could look into to find out about health benefits of diabetes and things like that a resource for that would be robb wolf calm he talks about on the benefits of eating paleo but basically that's what it is it's a way of eating it's a way of living you're just being more conscious of what you put into your body and voiding high-fructose corn syrup and additives things you look at the labels and there's like 20 ingredients in something and you can't pronounce half of them you want to avoid that kind of stuff so the reason I like the Paleo diet one it's helping my digestion digestion immensely energy overall I just feel so much better I don't have to count calories I don't have to worry about points I don't have to feel you know I have to debate over whether I eat that cookie or not because I just don't eat the cookie I eat healthy things in the cookie so like an example for me of replacing ingredients would be using honey instead of refined sugar or maple syrup things that are just easier on your body so that's paleo some cookbooks if you want to kind of look at that more this book practical paleo goes over a lot of digestive problems it has 30 day meal plan so that's something for you to look into also I mean you can just google what is paleo and find a bunch of resources but i'll be talking more about whole 30 in my next video and how you can benefit and really jumpstart your Paleo experience by doing the whole 30 but that's it for today I hope I gave you a better understanding of what paleo is and I'll talk to you soon thanks .

Easy Paleo Low Carb Recipe - Savory Cabbage and Chicken

today I'm going to be making some cabbage and onions with shiitake mushrooms some bacon we're actually going to be cooking it in the bacon fat and just some chicken thighs with the mix of peppers and poblano peppers uh fresh nose garlic and onions okay so first thing we're going to do is take out this bacon so for the chicken we start with the onion first thought saying that he is having onion for the chicken and yellow top boy cabbage good take some girl butter okay I was like using the goat butter because I don't have any kind of digestive issues it's like go get from house single I feel don't believe me but Stewart stop if you have an issue with dairy like cow dairy then you probably have issue with the cow butter as well even though it's mostly just fat not the not protein which is easy the sort of issue now I would take this campano pepper the number a spicy so if you're that person that doesn't like spice then you get half this peace out if these little covers the friends off every their little spicy I'll stay here for more than a jalapeno but less than like a habanero some like that I'll put two of these because I like it spicy my stove I just separated out the garlic I'm using for the chicken I'm gonna actually put garlic them both look who's the bacon pretty well because we're really just me he is to get the fat out of it you gonna have the bacon back into the cabbage and onion once it's mostly cooked oh right now we're just trying to get the fat so let's start preparing that this for the cabbage and onions over start chopping carrots and onions you can cook it kind of as long as you want depends on how slops you wanted at house we do have onions to be the longer you cook them the more sweet we're gonna caramelize them okay and where the cabbage really cooks down a lot so you can really feel the and as all of you can editor cook down if you take this take it out now it's not fully cooked as I'm upset once a week but I'm gonna put it back just before it's completely done it's gonna cook more you ice so you're gonna make sure that's not too hot so it's not smoking now first we're dump and just cabbage now you can check the peppers immense over here a little Hut now we're fix this one around so that they can breathe really gets in there and like I said before this is going to cook down a lot so don't worry if it looks pretty full right now gonna let that cook a little bit before I add the shiitake mushrooms because I just only did it cook the mushrooms quite as long but if you prefer you can out of it right the beginning sup to you let's cover that one also it's got a second batch of garlic ready so let's do the mushrooms nice then you just kind of twist off the stems like that okay just grab it here just like twist easy I learned that you can actually make vegetable stock out of the stems so this time around I'm going to save those and now I'm just gonna cut up the pieces of bacon and add them back into this yeah that would be pretty good very savory with the mushrooms of the bacon onions so I like letting this cook for a while just to soften everything out get the flavors mixed in got to make sure it's not too hot so it doesn't start to burn and just mix it every not in it again you can really cook it as long as you want that's up to your preference you see the cabbage starting to turn dark green and yeah let me see that starting to turn dark green you know that it's starting to get quick pretty good the bacon already makes it something but it's gonna add a little more now that I'm done shopping everything else I'm just gonna put the chicken on this one I know it's not like official kitchen sanitary procedure but now this is like the boneless skinless chicken thighs I usually like just getting the whole if I'm getting chicken thighs usually like get in the whole chicken thigh with the bone and the skin but this just seemed like is a better deal today so I got this instead and this trick there we go I'm gonna cook down so we're gonna throw the chicken right in there I think I had a little bit of cumin powder too and a little chili powder all right so this is looking just about done everything's put together nicely as long as I see those little pieces that garlic are just mash it up a little bit so the flavor gets blended together I think is better than like mincing the garlic ahead of time it tends to burn if you mess it in and put in the pan but the be here at home did you have any problems that chicken looks pretty done the skinless chicken thighs don't have the same amount of fat as obviously was with the skin so I'm usually not gonna cook them as long alright so there you have it we got our chicken thighs with poblano peppers sweet onion Fresno peppers and garlic cumin salt and a little bit of chili powder and Deborah shiitake mushrooms scream cabbage saw the same onion bacon and like the bacon grease was used to cook it all together as well alright that's all we got .
