Diane: Direct Vlog

This week on my Diane: Direct vlog, I'm tackling another common paleo pitfall: accidentally going low-carb. When switching to a paleo diet, most folks remember to get in their healthy fats, but they tend to forget about all of the amazing real food carb sources that are out there! And if you're not eating enough carbohydrate for your activity level, you could start to notice an impact on how you're feeling, especially at the gym.

RED MEAT. NIGHTSHADES. FODMAPs. EGGS. // This plate will turn off a lot of people who don't feel well eating those foods, or who believe they're unhealthy. Or “killing me.” Me, I'll do my thing and adjust according to my needs based on choosing to eat a diet made up of primarily real, whole foods. I enjoy the occasional treat, typically made at home, but often not. This is how I eat. #paleo #thisishowwereallyeat #glutenfree #realfood #21dsd

BREAKFAST // My honey @fullbodyfix made this for me. Maybe this time I'll just let y'all figure out what's in it… based on your powers of deductive reasoning. 😘 #breakfast #yousmart

CHORIZO // If you can find a clean option like this (mine is from my local farmers market and has no funky stuff in it!), use that. Otherwise, I've got a CHORIZO spice blend in #PracticalPaleo 1st & 2nd edition. Ideally it's made with pork but use any ground protein you like. . I topped some @sietefoods coconut cassava tortillas (warmed in a skillet) with chorizo, avocado, red onion, green onion, cilantro, goat cheese, and @Tabasco green hot sauce. . I also added some broccoli sprouts after this pic because I meant to but forgot… and also a whole pile of roasted Brussels sprouts! . #tacomonday #thisishowwereallyeat #lunch #tacos #chorizo #yum
