    "I started my journey a few weeks before the paleo challenge officially began, but was not very dedicated.  Starting March 1st, I went whole hog.  After vacation in Feb. I weighed 213.  March 1st around 204.  I have to preface this with saying my weight has been fluctuating between 210-200 for over a year.

    On 3/16/11, I did a body fat analysis with John F. at the rec center, my weight was 196, lean body weight 160.15 and body fat 18.29%, which is average for my age.
    On 4/20/11, I retested my body fat. My weight 188, lean body weight 160.23 and body fat 14.77, which is lean for my age.
    Notice, lean body weight stayed the same, which indicates that I did not lose muscle.
     
    I am amazed at these results.  My pants no longer fit. I bought a pair of jeans last month and they no longer fit. If I continue down this road, I will have to buy a whole new wardrobe. My workout regime has not changed very much since last Aug, when I joined CrossFit.  Therefore, it has to be the diet.
     
    Thanks for the intro to paleo." John K

    Wade's Cereal

    DateWednesday, February 22, 2012 at 10:28AM

    So I am calling this Wade's Cereal because I got the receipe from Beth. It is a bit loose so you can experiment with the flavors you like. Here is what we made:

    INGREDIENTS:

    Pecans, walnuts and almonds.

    1 Tablespoon of melted butter per chopped cup of nuts

    Flavors of your choice: maple syrup, agave nectar, molasses, cinnamon or other spices

    DIRECTIONS:

    Finely chop nuts in equal parts. I used a food processor and really tried to chop everything about the size of granola.

    Mix in butter

    Add the flavors of your choice.  I had three cups of nuts and 1/4 to 1/3 cup Agave Nectar and about 1/8 cup of cinnamon. For my other flavor I added 1/4 cup of molasses to 3 cups of nuts (this was way too much molasses and could probably be cut in half)

    Spread nuts in a thin layer on a baking sheet or dehydrator trays.

    I used our dehydrator* with the temperature set at 140 degrees and I let them dehydrate for about 9 hours. You can do the same thing in the oven.

    Now for the TREAT! Just add milk (of course we mean unsweetened almond milk, or coconut, etc.) and fruit of your choice. :-)

    *We dehydrate alot of food for camping and we've been making our own jerky. We did quite a bit of research before buying one. We have the Nesco American Harvest, I think it was about $70.

    Which model dehydrator do you have? Nesco American Harvest has a bunch of models. I've been thinking of buying one and don't want to do the research, especially since you've done it already!
    Thanks
