This natural unprocessed food is what we are designed to eat, not processed grains and a splash of dairy. I can hear you going “yuk” but just think about it. Go back a few thousand years and what do you think people would have eaten for breakfast.
Now we can’t be 100% sure as we weren’t there and don’t really have any records from that time (apart from fossil remains and Palaeolithic bone remains – which by the way Palaeontologists such as Loren Cordain have good data suggesting the types of foods our ancestors ate), but there were certainly no processed grains, and people would probably have eaten what they had hunted and gathered the day before. They may have eaten the remains of hunted rabbit, bore or deer; they may have eaten some foraged berries or nuts or other plants, but not a bowel of Cheerio’s!
Now it doesn’t really matter what meat you want to eat, and when I say meat I mean to encompass meat, fish, seafood and poultry and simply eat a serving that will satisfy your appetite along with some raw unsalted nuts such as cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts or even Brazil nuts. You could also eat some berries or other low GL fruit such as apple or pear. This type of breakfast will certainly fill you up as you will get a healthy serving of protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals and the fruit will give you some added fibre.
I can hear the orthodox medical and nutritional mainstream shouting that this will raise cholesterol etc etc… Well, if you eat just as much seafood and fish as you do meat (which will provide omega 3 fats that are known to help improve cholesterol) and combine this with nuts that are full of beta sitosterols that again raise good HDL: and lower bad LDL cholesterol you should have no problems at all with this. Now there are always exceptions to the rule so just pay attention to your latest blood test results you get from the doctor, but in most cases blood markers for CVD and insulin resistance should improve.
It’s important that you don’t just eat the same type of meat every day. If you at beef everyday then that might cause you a problem, but if you rotate your foods sensibly you’ll be providing a host of different nutrients to your body and your immune system will not build up a reaction to any one food.
Here is an example:
Day 1: Salmon fillet, handful of almonds and blueberries
Day 2: Turkey escallops, handful of cashews
Day 3: Homemade beef patty with pecans and raspberries
Day 4: Chicken strips with walnuts and sliced apple
