Kitchen Guidelines
Whether you are new to cooking or a seasoned chef, learning to create dishes will take some adjustments to your thinking, as you incorporate brand-new food preparation techniques and concepts into healthy eating.
In this chapter, we make it easy for you to quickly set up your kitchen, acquire the important tools, and clean out and restock your fridge and pantry so that you may begin to discover the amazing and rewarding health benefits awaiting you on this lifetime journey into living.
When first introduced to the diet concept, many newbies often begin by wondering whether they will miss some of the foods that are not on the menu.
The best advice we can give is for you to focus on the incredible wealth of delicious and vitamin-, nutrient- and protein packed real foods the Diet has to offer. You will not be deprived or hungry.
Soon your taste buds will reawaken to the subtle tastes and textures of soothing fruits, crisp vegetables, succulent lean meats, and savory seafood.
Use your imagination and creativity to make your ancestral diet work for you.
Explore the endless possibilities real food has to offer, as you replace your old, unhealthy, processed foods with exciting, new, good-for you cuisine.
We’re sure that like most dieters, you will soon lose your cravings for artificially salty, sugary, synthetic, processed foods and quickly develop a preference for the foods you were genetically designed to eat. Let’s get started.
The kitchen should be your starting point as you transition into a lifestyle.
Rest assured, if it comes in a plastic bag, a box, a can, or a bottle, it’s probably not friendly; however, there are a few key exceptions, which we will get to later.
Any food, even non foods that you have purchased with your hard-earned cash, can be difficult to part with.
However psychologically difficult it may be, it is still better not to tempt yourself by finishing up the last half gallon of ice cream in your refrigerator or the final bag of chips in your pantry.
Get rid of them—put them out of sight and out of mind. We are not asking you to waste this food entirely but rather to jettison it from your life.
Think about your purging of old foods as the first step on a journey to improved health, athletic performance, and vigor; better sleep; and a longer life, free of medications.
What to Toss from the Refrigerator
Now that you have tossed the unhealthy foods from your pantry, let’s take time to explore your fridge and see the lurking food dangers herein.
Like most people living in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and other Westernized societies, your fridge probably contains a few bottles or cartons of pasteurized homogenized milk from your local store or dairy, some yogurt, a few sticks of butter, and a variety of cheeses, to say nothing of frozen dairy foods (such as ice cream, ice milk, and frozen yogurt).
Although these foods constitute about 10 percent of the calories in the typical U.S. diet, they were entirely absent from our Stone Age ancestors’ menu.
X-ray studies of dairy-free hunter-gatherer skeletons show these people had healthy, robust bones free of osteoporosis.
If you get sufficient fresh fruits and veggies (around 35 percent of your calories) in your contemporary diet and just a little sunlight, calcium and dairy products become a nonissue.
Your refrigerator also probably contains a variety of non processed foods, which could never have composed even a small percentage of humanity’s original diet.
For instance,frozen concentrated juices such as lemonade apple juice, grape juice, and orange juice have to be cleaned out, as these are all high-glycemic-load foods that spike your blood sugar level.
As with your pantry, a good rule of thumb is: if it contains wheat, salt, or sugar, dump it. If you have frozen fruit or veggies, keep them.
However, after they are finished, try to always get the fresh versions— they are healthier and they taste better.
Most non refrigerators are loaded with artificial processed meats such as bacon, sausage, salami, bologna, lunch meats, and others.
Although you may have paid dearly for these meats, remember that they are laced with salt, nitrites, nitrates, sugar, by-products, and other unhealthy additives.
So do yourself a favor and pitch these artificial creations. Finally, check your frozen meat section.
If you have fatty feedlot-produced meats, keep them.
But next time, try to buy grass-fed meats or the leaner cuts of commercial meats.
