Yes, that's right Halex, it is a bit like the paleo diet, but whilst there's no dairy in the paleo diet, there's Dairy in Maria's recipes (as well as alternatives for people who are allergic to dairy).
And there's no honey in Maria's recipes (again, too high in sugars) but they do use honey in the Paleo diet.
Her recipes are pretty good for people with damaged metabolism from stupid diets in the past
I've lost 56 lbs since July, without starving, eating nice stuff
and desserts!
There's a lot of stuff you
can eat
fruits are mostly off the list (too high in sugar) except for berries, but seriously I thought I'd miss that and bread and I don't really. I wasn't drinking a lot of fruit juice to start with (but I liked juicing veggies and fruit but it turns out all the good ones for the most part, are high in sugar, like beetroots, carrots, apples!).
I bake with coconut flour and almond meal mostly, and even made a killer chocolate torte to bring to work and everyone loved it (using sweetener in place of sugar, like Xylitol, etc)... I'm experimenting on my own, made the
Protein Bread in the Thermomix this morning (gave it a vinegar wash last night so it would be dry, and grease free to whip the egg whites), worked pretty well, if I could find a way to not have it deflate when it comes out of the oven!
Made almond milk, and cauliflower rice too (just got my Thermie yesterday) - also made mayo, but used olive oil so it's a bit strong... But it's nice.
I guess as I go along I'll get more familiar with how the Thermomix works and I'll be able to convert the recipes one at a time
