Paleo Fast Food
The Paleo diet is becoming mainstream. Is Paleo King not far in the future? Perhaps.
Sooner or later, we all become too aware of the need for Paleo fast food. Of course we would all like to eat wholesome home cooked foods whenever possible, but there are times both at home or driving home, that Paleo fast food becomes a necessity.
In the home, it becomes necessary when due to a busy schedule, we find that we need to feed ourselves and our family, and get out the door quickly. In this case the best thing is to have Paleo leftovers on hand. Some people plan ahead and have a stash of quick but nutritious meals available for just such an occasion. There is a great bonus book included with the Paleohacks Cookbook called Paleo 4X. These are fast recipes that only require four ingredients. These are perfect for those occasions when we need to have a quick meal. These are tasty dishes that can be whipped up in a hurry.
Eggs of course are a fairly quick option. You can also grille something up pretty fast on the barbecue and add a quick salad or vegetables. If you have Paleo lunchmeat on hand , this too will work fine. Its fairly easy to come up with Paleo fast food at home, but what about on the road?
Paleo fast food on the move isnt as difficult as you may think. It takes a little thought and planning, but there are actually quite a few good choices. Also, as fast food chains become more aware of peoples need for healthier foods, they begin to offer foods that can work as Paleo fast food.
One of the easiest ways to get Paleo fast food at the hamburger chains is to order a burger, or a bacon burger with a salad, and dont eat the bread. You can cut the meat into your salad for a grain free Paleo fast food. Wendys offers a grilled chicken sandwich that also works well like this. Some of the more progressive chains are starting offer lettuce wrapped burgers and sandwiches. Of course the cooking conditions may not be optimal, but all in all, you can do it.
A Chinese food place will offer many vegetable dishes and you can get shrimp or ribs on the side. For the most part, these foods offer the most grain free options. Again be aware of sauces and other ingredients that you may not wish to consume. These family owned stores are often willing to put together something just as you wish, such as grilled shrimp over vegetables. Unfortunately, you will get the fortune, but wont eat the cookie.
Speaking of ribs, there are often barbecue restaurants that offer ribs, chicken and more. These will suffice as Paleo fast foods. And speaking of chicken, most supermarkets offer rotisserie chickens that can be utilized as a Paleo fast food. You can also pick up better deli meats and salads at a grocery store. Many delis offer meats and vegetable soups as well.
There is no doubt that many fast foods will not be the healthiest, and that certainly goes for Paleo fast food as well. It certainly is a good idea to plan ahead and even to prepare Paleo fast foods ahead of time. But it is good to know that even chains like Mcdonalds, Wendys, Burger King, Five Guys and others, can be a source of Paleo fast foods in a pinch.
