So Paleo, a caveman would eat it.
Congratulations Paleo challengers you've made it to the final week of the Sweet Cheeks Paleo Challenge! You are now all official Cavemen! : ) And what healthy Cavemen you are. Here's some of what you neanderthals are saying:
"I love it and I feel better than ever and have easily lost weight."
"Due to illness I have been unable to train so I didn't expect much. Imagine my surprise when I stepped on the scale and discovered I had lost 8 pounds. I'm looking forward to making this a permanent lifestyle."
"Feeling great, yesterday my Endurance class was really good, running a 5K felt so good! For me it's all about how I feel, don't have much weight to lose, but I am feeling great when I get up in the morning, when I work out......it's really a great feeling!!!!!!!"
"My waist size measures 1.5 " LESS than when I started this Paleo Challenge. Woo Hoo!!"
Awesome, awesome and more awesome!
This week put it on cruise control, sit back and reap the Paleo benefits! Continue on with all the good habits we've put into fruition this past month - no sugar, dairy, grains, legumes or processed foods.
And then on the 4th of July, throw caution to the wind and eat your face off. Drink beer, gorge on barbecue chicken, potato salad and flag cake! Enjoy every single second of it because the next day you may not be feeling so well. As delicious as a flag cake is, it was not a diet staple of the old school Cavepeople. Hopefully your belly ache will motivate you to continue on with Paleo as a permanent part of your daily eating. And I mean that in the nicest way.
Shrimp "Pad Thai"
1 pound of cooked large shrimp unfrozen
1/2 head of cabbage finely shredded or sliced
1 onion finely sliced
1 green pepper and 1 red pepper, sliced into strips
1 bunch of green onions, sliced into 2 inch pieces (separate whites from greens)
2 eggs
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
3 Tablespoons sesame oil
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce or other hot sauce
1 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 fresh limes, squeezed
First fry the scrambled eggs in a skillet and then slice into strips and set aside.
Next heat a large skillet with the coconut oil and add cabbage, peppers, onion and the whites from the green onions. Saute at medium high heat until the vegetables are tender.
As the veggies are cooking, in a small bowl mix together sesame oil, olive oil, Sriracha sauce, ginger and lime. This is your sauce.
Then add the green part of the green onions, egg strips, shrimp and sauce. Mix together well and stir until the shrimp are hot.
Sprinkle with cashews.
Enjoy!
