Our Recipes
Real Grubbin’s collection of recipes are centered around the principles found in the Paleo Diet (by Loren Cordain) and the Primal Blueprint (by Mark Sisson). For those unfamiliar with these books, we’ll cover the basic ideas of the diet. The authors detail their theory that we are biologically very similar to primitive man, but modern man eats nothing like primitive man. Thus, they advise a strict reevaluation of the foods and ingredients that we consume and propose eliminating many of the things that our ancestors never ate as they evolved. Some of the foods you should avoid on the paleo diet: grains, dairy, legumes, starchy vegetables, fatty meats and excessive salt. They assert that several individuals have had various ailments disappear while obtaining optimal health simply by reverting back to a diet consisting primarily of lean proteins, high-fiber produce and other foods packed with nutrients and essential fatty acids.
The folks at Real Grubbin have personally experienced terrific benefits as a result of following the paleo diet. Along with healthy weight loss—we have also noticed a consistently steady energy level that’s elevated beyond what we’ve ever had before. So, we believe these guidelines will help others achieve similar results and improve their general quality of life.
