I recently fixed one of my favorite go-to, mostly-but-not-all, paleo meals. This tastes great after a hard WOD. A little work is involved but I've streamlined the recipe as much as possible. (You'll notice the ingredients and measurements are simple).
Help Wikipedia! What is the paelo diet?
"In common usage, such terms as the "Paleolithic diet" also refer to the actual ancestral human diet.[1][2] Centered around commonly available modern foods, the "contemporary" Paleolithic diet consists mainly of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts; and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.[1][3][4]"
Following this diet can make a person feel tremendous, especially coupled with regular CF workouts. Even a diet that is close to the one herein described can make a difference. I recommend starting with small changes and then slowly cutting down on the "bad" stuff, the not-so-helpful foods. So yeah, there may be too many sweet potato fries on that plate, but they are loaded with nutrients. Maybe next week I'll try some kale...
Ingredients
Two packages of your preferred ground meat (beef, lamb, turkey, pork, chicken, etc. I like turkey and chicken together).
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion, grated
7 or 8 leaves of sage, chopped
Coarsely ground kosher salt (as desired)
1 cup bread crumbs
Chop it all up and mix it together, breadcrumbs last. Form mini-meat loaves to the size of your choice. Mine come out a little bigger than a deck of cards. This is good for zone proportions. If you want to, weigh them on a scale to get your proper zone blocks.
Heat some oil in a pan and brown them on both sides. Then bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. This is a method used by Rachel Ray. It frees up a unit on the stove that can be used for cooking, and is a good multitasking technique.
Sauces are yummy but usually heavy on dairy and salt, so I serve the meat loaves plain and with a big pile of veggies. I usually make steamed broccoli and some form of sweet potato. This makes for a colorful and well-rounded meal.
