Paleo diet and getting slim

Maybe you are wondering if the Paleo Diet is a new diet to make you get slimmer. Well, really it's to make you healthier and give you more energy during the day, less ache and a lot of more benefits.

But it can make you get slimmer, even if you don't really try. Some people have problem with Paleo because they need to eat a lot of protein and fat and they are not used to it. They would prefer a snack based of carbs and unhealthy oil than a green smoothie.

So, if you really want to try it to lose weight you can try Paleo recipe and find the best solution for you; you will eat healthy, you will have a lot more of energy and better than anything you will feel better with yourself.

But that not enough, you should feel like you really want to get on diet, not just because you see yourself a bit fat or someone else told you that. Your mind need to be set on the diet.
Some days ago I have read an articles about the right mood to getting slim and some of the tips on that website are really good and if can start Paleo diet while trying these hints.

One of the most useful tips, at least I think it's one of the best, is "... there is not one way to get slim or one best diet plan; everyone is different ..." because it's true. Something that works for me could not work for you. 

What do you think? are you ready to try a new diet plan?

Are you ready to get yourself healthier?

Guacamole is paleo?

Guacamole

Well, sure it's Paleo, avocado is one of the most tasty filling for paleo recipe.

You can use for salad, to create a smooth soup or for guacamole. You can even add it to create perfect smoothie.

Avocado is fat, but not the bad fat that make you really fat and unhealthy; different research have studied the effects of this fruit and everyone give thumb ups to it.

It will lower your cholesterol, make you filled, let you NOT carve for added sugar... seems perfect.

The most simple recipe where you can use avocado is Guacamole, a Mexican dip usually eat with nachos chips. It's an old recipe, maybe not as Paleolithic but the Aztecs use to eat this.

Ingredients.

1 ripe avocado

1 tomato

1 red pepper

optional 1/2 white onion

salt

Preparation

Extract the pulp of the Avocado, simple cut in half the fruit and remove the big seed in the middle. You can remove it with a spoon or if you want to show off use a knife and firmly hit the seed with the blade; twist the blade so the seed get out of the half. Ok, it's complicate, so try it alone first.

Dice the tomato and the red pepper and minced the sweet onion; the onion can give a strong flavor to the guacamole, so find out first if your guest like it.

Add everything in a bowl, with a pinch of salt. You can use a mixer to create a smooth dip or you can simple use a fork to press everything. I usually prefer to use a blender.

If you prepare the dip too early you can add lemon juice (or better lime juice) to keep it fresh. The anti oxidant in the lemon will preserve the guacamole to become dark.
