Raw Paleolithic Diet Day for my kids accomplished
The Raw Paleolithic Diet is the diet humans evolved to optimally live on. Yesterday was my chance to test how my kids would like a raw paleolithic day and they did love it.
My wife is out of town and took our oldest child with her on her trip. So I was left with our 4 year old son and 3 year old daughter.
In the morning we had a fruit breakfast with ripe yellow mangoes and coconut juice.
In the mid morning, my daughter and I drove up to the big wet market and bought a good number of fresh raw meats and fresh raw fish.
At home, at around 9:30am my daughter and I ate a good amount of fresh raw sirloin beef with the yellow fat.
At lunch time we had a big raw salad with our dip consisting of extra virgin olive oil, raw green honey and balsamic vinegar.
Mid afternoon snack we had a lot of red water melon.
And in the evening we had fresh raw tuna with calamansi (philippine citrus equivalent to lemon). The kids wanted more raw beef again so I did give them more.
Before going to sleep at 8:15pm I had them drink some coconut juice.
Raw days can be done, the kids did not get hungry. I told the kids we were having a raw day and they understood it. We kicked out rice yesterday. Rice is a junk food displacing more nutritious food. Instead of rice my kids ate more raw meat, raw fat, raw fruit and raw veggies. And they were satisfied.
I think I will sponsor more raw days with them until they get used to the idea.
