Personally, I hated the stuff until last year but I was determined to develop a taste for it, knowing I needed to get more omega-3 fats into my diet. I now eat fish about twice a week and since adding it into my weekly dinner rotation, the stubborn eczema I'd been battling with for months has cleared up - a result I'd say! The nutrients in salmon also contribute to healthy brain function, help to lower cholesterol as well as reducing inflammation in the body and the risk of heart disease.
While sweet things don't play a massive part in my diet any more, I still crave them with my after dinner cup of tea and the odd few squares of dark chocolate usually does me. Sometimes though I like to make something a little more decadent to enjoy - but I still keep it healthy. These fudgy, chocolatey truffles are perfectly indulgent but you'll still reap some health benefits.
It has especially taken off in Paleo circles thanks to its wonderful ability to turn almost any vegetable into spaghetti or noodles of various widths, thus being able to recreate traditional pasta meals.
Why? They're loaded with high quality protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants … almost every nutrient your body needs. They're very high in choline, a brain nutrient that 90% of people don't get enough of - another reason to replace your sugary grain based breakfast if you want to up your performance at work. To top it all off, eggs are cheap, easily prepared and taste amazing.
Often sneered at and overlooked thanks to memories of granny boiling them until they resemble mushy and bitter tasting mini cabbages, it can be hard to convince anyone that they can be a delicious part of a meal.
When I first heard about the Paleo diet I was intrigued but instantly dismissed it, thinking that as a vegetarian, the so-called 'caveman' style eating probably wasn't for me.
