About this ebook
Samantha Michaels
Samantha Michaels was born in 1973 in the small town of Abington, PA and was raised and still lives in Hatboro, PA (both suburbs of Philadelphia). She is married to her high school sweetheart and they have a rescue dog, a beautiful Black Lab named Holly. When she's’not writing or working at her full-time job, she enjoys watching her Philly sports team (hopefully) win, listening to heavy metal/hard rock music, Texas Hold Em, reading, and spending time with friends and family. Her love of reading began at a young age, thanks to her mother and Sesame Street. Her mom read to her constantly, and by three years old, she was reading on her own, and hasn’t stopped. This eventually turned into a love of writing. She was writing for herself and then for a small group of friends, one of whom told her she should be writing books. She took her friends advice and has since published several romance books with plenty more on the way.

Reviews for Paleo Slow Cooker
2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received this as part of a free member giveaway. My family is always on the go so slow cooker meals are a staple. We don't follow a strict paleo diet, but I do try to make a few paleo meals each week. So far, my favorite recipe is the chicken curry in a pot. The apple pie in a glass recipe is good for after workouts or if you want an evening snack without it being a full on dessert. These recipes are nice because they are easy to follow and don't require a whole lot of time.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The list of foods is a good resource. When I see the words slow cooker in the title, I think crockpot recipes so I would have liked to see more recipes for a crockpot. The length of ingredients for some of the recipes were long - I am used to cooking with fewer ingredients. The cake and fruit in a glass recipes looked especially good.

Paleo Slow Cooker - Samantha Michaels
Introduction:
Thank you for buying "Paleo Slow Cooker: 70 Top Gluten Free & Healthy Family Recipes for the Busy Mom & Dad." Obviously, you are trying to steer your family into eating healthier meals everyday. The Paleo diet is especially beneficial to one's health because it limits the consumption of sugar in almost all the dishes. It also discourages the consumption of many processed food items which usually contain high levels of sugar, salt, artificial food additives, and all manner of chemical preservatives.
This book contains valuable information on how to follow the Paleo diet easily. It has a partial list of food items and drinks that you can safely incorporate in your family's daily meals, and another list for the items you should remove from your diet completely.
If you and your family are new to this eating regimen, this book also contains easy-to-follow-recipes that will yield great tasting Paleo-safe dishes. You can easily substitute some of these for the conventional, but not Paleo-diet safe meals you usually serve your loved ones.
Once you get the hang of making these dishes, you can experiment with various tastes and flavors on your own. This will help increase your culinary skills when it comes to making your own Paleo diet meals and snacks.
We hope this book will be of great use to you.
Chapter 1: What is Paleo Diet?
The Paleolithic diet is sometimes referred to as the Caveman's diet, or the Hunter-Gatherer diet, the Stone Age diet and the Warrior diet. These days though, more people simply refer to this eating regimen as the Paleo diet. This follows the dietetic restrictions of our prehistoric ancestors, particularly the hunter-gatherers of old. This diet relies heavily on fresh produce, while shying away from processed food items that have proven time and time again to be detrimental to one's health.
It can be reasoned that, back in the Stone Age, health conditions like: cancer, diabetes, and tooth decay (among many others) were non-existent. People from that era, lived long lives and they certainly did not need to count calories in order to remain fit and healthy. It can also be reasoned that there were no documented accounts of overweight or obese populations from that era.
In other words, this is a diet that helps promote good health by simply eating good food.
Despite popular misconception, the Paleo diet is not a new fad at all. In fact, it is the basis of many modern day fad diets like: Atkins, baby food diet, cabbage soup diet, blood type diet, fruitarianism, Good Carbohydrate Revolution, high protein diet, liquid diet, morning banana diet, raw food diet, Scarsdale, South Beach, Sugar Busters, Zone diet, and the infamous Hollywood 48-Hour Miracle Diet (a.k.a. grapefruit diet.) However, unlike these aforementioned eating regimens, the Paleo diet does not encourage periodic starvation or the removal of solid food.
The Paleo diet was first suggested to the world in 1975, by a doctor named Water L. Voegtlin. He was a gastroenterologist who argued that the Paleolithic humans were carnivorous in nature. They devoured meat, and supplemented their diets with starches from fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables. He used this as a basis for his successful treatments of gastric conditions like: abdominal angina, bowel obstruction, colitis, Crohn's disease, dyspepsia, gastritis, GERD or gastro-esophageal reflux disease, indigestion, IBS or irritable bowl syndrome, peptic ulcer.
The good doctor also noted that his patients experienced:
• Gradual weight loss,
• Have higher energy levels,
• Have less acne and skin lesions,
• More stable blood pressure, and
• More stable blood sugar level, etc.
The Paleo diet is quite versatile. It follows certain guidelines as to what you can or cannot eat. But you also have the liberty to change this eating plan to suit your own personal dietary restrictions. For example: you can remove nuts from this diet if you have peanut or nut-based allergies. You can remove shellfish or other seafood items if you have religious or cultural restrictions against these. You can make this diet vegetarian or strictly vegan.
If you are new to this diet, you can follow this one simple guideline: if a caveman does not have access to it, it should not be included in your meals.
Chapter 2: Foods You CAN Include in the Paleo Diet
To make following this diet easier to follow, here is a list as to what you can include in your Paleo diet.
Eggs
Organic and/or free-range eggs are acceptable, as eggs taken from the wild are very hard to come by. However, you can also choose commercially-produced eggs that are enriched with Omega-3 to maximize nutritional intake. Other egg products you can buy are those labeled with: cage-free, free roaming, or pasture-raised (pastured.) You can also buy from your local or nearby egg farmers to ensure freshness.
Aside from chicken eggs, you can also supplement your diet with quail and duck eggs. Other less conventional egg sources you can use are:
• Goose eggs
• Guinea fowl eggs
• Gull eggs (considered as a delicacy)
• Pheasant eggs.
To prevent excessive weight gain though, try to limit your portions to 1 to 2 servings of eggs per week.
Fish
Wild fish or fresh fish caught beyond the confinement of commercial fish pens is acceptable in the Paleo diet. Some farmed fish contain high levels of mercury and other heavy metal toxins that may be disadvantageous to anyone following this diet. If possible, always choose fresh fish cutlets, fillets, or steaks. You also cannot go wrong with buying whole fresh fish either.
You can include but not limit your diet to:
• Anchovies
• Atlantic cod
• Atlantic mackerel
• Bass (all kinds)
• Bluefish
• Catfish
• Flatfish
• Flounder
• Grouper
• Halibut
• Haddock
• Herring
• Marlin
• Monk fish
• Mullet
• Northern pike
• Ocean perch
• Orange roughy
• Pollock
• Red snapper
• Rock fish
• Salmon
• Sardines
• Shad
• Smelt
• Sole
• Swordfish
• Sunfish
• Tilapia
• Trout (all kinds)
• Tuna (all kinds)
• Walleye
• Whitefish
Fish roe (fish eggs with or without their sacs) is included in this list. These are usually high in both protein and Omega 3, but contain very little fat. If you are planning on including this in your diet, always use fresh roe, as opposed to
