Morning is the best time of day. Notthat I’m a morning person—I’m definitelynot. I’m a night owl. I love the morningbecause it holds the seeds of the day, and thepossibilities are too immense to imagine.Whatever you can envision into being in themorning is what the day can become. Bymid-morning the day has taken on acharacter. And by the late night, as I try tosqueeze out every last drop of experience, theday gets brittle, old, and tired. But in theearly morning, anything can happen.That’s what it was like growing upwith my family. My father was a wild,inspired chef, among other things, with animmense passion for food, and yes, I’mgrateful to have inherited that. He woke usup with unforgettable breakfasts and anexcitement so palpable, so generous. We atehis freshly gathered wild mushrooms sautéedin butter on toast. And enormous pancakesthat filled a 2-foot cast-iron pansuspended on chains over a fire in thebackyard. So it was only natural for me towrite this book—out of a lifelong passion forfood and for the simple delight of sharing itwith others.As a child I was very robust and healthy.However, as an adult I began to bechallenged with chronic fatigue, adrenalfailure, allergies, and digestive problems. Atone point when I was very weak and ill, Inoticed there was an immediate and directconnection between what I ate for breakfastand how my day went. Of course all themeals are important, but I observed a clearresponse to breakfast in my body. It wouldaccept the food with a warm feeling ofhappiness. Or it would shut down—a lot or alittle. Call it a food reaction or anintolerance, perhaps triggered in part by anemotion. Who knows, my system would gointo a tailspin—brain fog, dizziness,exhaustion, constipation, bloating, foodGOOD MORNING PALEO - BOOK PREVIEWOrder the Book1
cravings, muscle aches, moodiness, andconfusion. I muddled through the day as bestas I could. The only real solution was to restand start over the next day. In time I was ableto identify clearly the foods that my bodyaccepted—fresh vegetables, tart fruits,unprocessed meats, nuts, eggs, and unrefinedoils. The foods causing my body to shut downwere always the same: refined carbs, grains,gluten, processed foods, milk, cheese,vegetable oils. Oh, and sugars of all kinds—even fruit sugars.A NEW CONCEPT IN BREAKFASTA good breakfast sets the tone for yourwhole day. After ten years on a diet free ofgrains, dairy, and sugar, my food reactions aregone. There’s no morning brain fog,confusion, or any of the old discomforts. Nowthat I enjoy stable energy levels through theday and better health than I’ve had indecades, I have become a passionate Paleoenthusiast. After all, it makes sense to eat thefoods we are genetically adapted to eat. Thatmeans eating only real food. Some peoplemight call it a limited diet. What? No bagelsand cream cheese? No milk, orange juice,croissants, or Cheerios? But as you’ll see onthese pages, when one thinks outside the boxa little bit, there is no deprivation on this diet.On the contrary—every meal is pure pleasure.My senses are clearer, my life is moreenjoyable, and I accomplish more with lesseffort.Our health is where the rubber meetsthe road. We can make the choice to listen toour bodies and harmonize with the laws ofNature. Or we can fight and suffer theconsequences. Those are the two choices. Thisbook is about using new ingredients andtechniques to help you rediscover comfortfoods that you thought you’d have to give upforever. So you can enjoy the pleasure offamiliar flavors and textures without shortchanging or undermining your health orlongevity. After all, food is energy. And thatenergy comes from the sun. So you could say,food is concentrated sunlight. And the bestfoods are the highest in energetic content, themost nutrient-dense.LICK THE SUGAR HABIT,STARTING WITH BREAKFASTWe Americans love sweets. Millions ofus start the day with a donut and a cup ofcoffee, or perhaps a bowl of processed cereal,milk, and a banana. In many ways, we’vebecome resigned and powerless, acceptingwithout question an array of industrializedgrains, sugar, sweets, and refined foods thatare taking a huge toll on our health. Afterdecades of daily ups and downs in blood sugarand stress levels, our bodies becomeestablished in a numbing cycle of sugar-basedmetabolism—call it an addiction—thateventually comes home to roost in some kindof health crisis. We lose our connection toNature and the ability to “feel” the wisdom ofour own bodies. Our current epidemic ofobesity, diabetes, gluten intolerance, metabolicdisorder, and a host of other maladies islinked to poor nutrition. I believe that thesediseases can be prevented or healed in greatpart by eating a simple breakfast of real food.The innovative recipes in this book can bea roadmap to a kind of metamorphosis in yourlife—a total change from eating processed foodto eating real, original food. With these recipesyou can begin to free your body of its irrationalsweet cravings, and the dangerous blood sugarspikes that deplete energy and leave youwanting even more. Best of all, you can enjoytraditional breakfast favorites again, feelingdeeply satisfied and nourished on every level.2GOOD MORNING PALEO - BOOK PREVIEW Order the Book
WHY PALEO?The Paleo diet, named for the Paleolithicperiod, mimics the hunt-and-gather food of ourancestors. Clearly they ate whatever they couldcatch, pluck, or dig up in the wild. During thatstretch of 2.5 million years as humanitydeveloped, our ancestors ate a diet that wasfresh and alive. Fast food, industrial chemicals,processed carbs, sugars, preservatives, junkfood, and even agriculture were unknown onthe planet.The Paleo lifestyle is simple and healthy. Itsays YES to vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, nuts,seeds, tart fruits, and unprocessed fats. It saysNO to refined foods, grains, dairy, beans,extracted seed oils, and sugars. The ease of thePaleo diet is refreshing. There’s no caloriecounting or portion control (this part isparticularly appealing). No packaged meals orspecial drinks. Nope, it’s just a list of what toeat and what to skip. Yet the rationale behindthe ancestral diet goes much deeper thanphysical beauty or losing weight. It’s all aboutrespecting yourself and your body,understanding your relationship to the Earth,and achieving your true human potential.Perhaps the growing appeal of Paleo is that itrecalls our true primordial power and ourdesire to embody wholeness in a facelessindustrial world.There are many ways to interpret the Paleodiet. Obviously our ancestors ate according tothe climate they lived in. Some see Paleo as ameat diet; some view it as low in carbs. Does itinclude eggs or fermented dairy? How aboutpseudo-grains like quinoa and buckwheat?These are the details, the fine print—and they’recompletely up to you. You can choose toemphasize meat, or you can be a Paleo-vegan.You get to decide how to interpret the ancestraldiet and where you draw the line. We are allunique, and theflexible Paleo template can be molded toserve many individual needs. Since there’sno counting, weighing, or portion control,the success of Paleo depends entirely on howyou interpret it. This puts each of us squarelyin control of our food and health.The Paleo diet is inspired by a timewhen mankind ate real food. Calories don’tnourish the body. Real food does. After all,food is energy, and that energy comes fromthe sun. Sunlight combines with nourishment from the Earth in the food we eat. Weneed both energy and nutrition. So a calorieas a measure of energy offers little or nothingto the body unless it is also fertile and rich inEarth nutrients from healthy soil. This is thebeauty of our ecosystem in a few words.That’s why 200 calories of soda will have adifferent effect in the body than 200 caloriesof freshly picked green vegetables. When itcomes to our bodies and our health, thereare no shortcuts to being in balance withNature.The Paleo diet is a gift for millions ofpeople with special requirements, includingthose intolerant to gluten and dairy, as wellas diabetics and people with candida. ThesePaleo breakfasts can help balance themetabolism, as there’s no sugar rush andsubsequent energy drop later in the day.Empty calories don’t exist in the Paleo world.It is a nutrient-dense diet free of the sugarand chemicals that trigger cravings andweight gain. Most people report that theylose weight on the Paleo diet and enjoyhigher energy without hunger pangs orfeelings of deprivation. The lifestyle alsoemphasizes fitness and getting plenty ofsleep.Eating healthy isn’t a fad. In the finalanalysis, healthy eating means listening toyour body and being truly sensitive to what3GOOD MORNING PALEO - BOOK PREVIEWOrder the Book
