Paleo Crock Pot Meals

40 Amazing Low Carb and Gluten Free Recipes and Dump Meals for a Slow Cooker

Introduction

 

This recipe book is a gathering of the best Paleo recipes that can be found on the Internet today. The Paleo diet is generally strict but there are alternatives if you find there are ingredients you can’t or won’t eat. You don’t have to sign up for something you don’t want to do. This Paleo recipe book will show you just how much variety there is when you are following the diet and want to use your crock pot to save time.

Using a slow cooker is one of the best ways to create a delicious dinner for you alone, for a family or for a dinner party. You can make something delicious while still keeping within the boundaries of your diet and your friends and family don’t even have to know. One thing to consider, however, is that you must stick to the diet plan or it will not work. We know you want to eat healthy. Stick to the plan and see how quickly the result work for you!

The Paleo diet was created to help get you back in a healthy state. Doctors, scientists and researchers have studied the results of this diet and have come to the conclusion that eating healthy has a positive impact on every part of your body, including organs, muscles and bones, as well as fighting the possibilities of degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, depression, infertility and Parkinson’s among others.

You will need to eat a lot of proteins, fruits and vegetables to maintain the Paleo diet. It is restrictive in some areas, such as carbs and gluten. The recipes you make should be gluten-free and low carb. If you see that one of the ingredients includes gluten, search for a gluten-free substitute. This can be done with almost any recipe, whether it is intended for Paleo dieters or not.

You will want to avoid the following in your diet:

  • Grains
  • Dairy
  • Legumes
  • Alcohol
  • Starches
  • Processed foods
  • Processed sugars

You are allowed to eat the following:

  • Vegetables
  • Meat
  • Fruits
  • Nuts
  • Seeds
  • Seafood
  • Healthy fats (such as that contained in meat, fish oil, avocados, seeds and nuts
  • With any diet plan, you should consult a nutritionist or doctor before making any major changes. If you are not eating healthy, they will let you know.

Benefits you can receive from eating a Paleo diet include the following:

  • Weight loss
  • Improved blood lipids
  • Reduced pain
  • Reduced risk of degenerative diseases
  • Improved energy
  • Improved strength
  • Higher levels of vitamins, mineral and other essentials
  • Clearer skin

Try the recipes in this book for a consistent Paleo diet routine. They are all ready for your crock pot and your healthy family will thank you for your efforts.

While there are fewer breakfast and lunch recipes in this book, there are plenty of various meals you can try for either one. Another good thing about cooking in the slow cooker is that you almost always have some leftover to freeze for another time. You can put it in a Tupperware container and take it to work with you the next day. The possibilities with a slow cooker are endless. We hope you enjoy these recipes. Feel free to substitute your favorite ingredients when you see one that you don’t like. Just make sure you are following your plan and not straying too much.

Start out slowly if you have to, only using the Paleo diet plan 80% of the time, while still indulging in the foods you ate before you started the diet. For some people, going cold turkey on certain old habits, such as dairy and sugars, is not a good idea. So proceed at a pace that is comfortable if you feel you need to but be consistent to ensure you get the results you desire from the Paleo diet plan.
