These are the 5 tips by Jonathan Carp, MD for paleo dieters who dearly miss carbs and sugars but still want the tremendous benefits and positive changes of following a paleo diet correctly and consistently.
1. Snack smart - stick to healthy snacks like a handful of raw nuts and hydrate aggressively. Herbal teas during the day can satisfy our palate since most of us have an addiction to tasting something every few hours. Embrace veggies and chew slowly, use snacking time to train your palate to appreciate raw veggies. It takes about 3 weeks to retrain your palate - so be patient!!.
2. Make sure you don’t only eat meats. I see this with patients and clients a lot who start any new low-carb diet – they default too much onto meats in order to satisfy their hunger and have energy during the day. Organic, grass-finished meats are great and paleo, but make sure you also have other foods on your plate. Preferably foods, which are filling and high-fiber such as vegetables (spinach, kale, broccoli) or other more rare plant foods you may have never heard of (more on those later…)
3. Your environment mostly dictates your influences and behavior. Make sure you have no sugary snacks in your cupboard or any other bad foods. That will sap your willpower because you have to resist them (if the bad foods are not anywhere close to you, you don’t have to resist them which will save you tremendous amounts of willpower).
4. Replace ordinary cheat foods such as noodles, pasta, spaghetti, pizza and pudding just to name a few, with what I call ‘transitional foods’. Transitional foods are foods and dishes that are the same or similar (when it comes to taste and texture) than ordinary cheat foods but are packed with healthy ingredients and high in fiber. An example here would be replacing ordinary spaghetti with Miracle Instant Spaghetti. But more on that later...
5. Learn a handful of quick and simple recipes that can bring back the satisfaction and taste of your favorite dishes that you’ve been missing. If it takes you 2-3 minutes to create a quick satisfying meal, the bad cheat-foods will tempt you less. The recipes you learn will be the aces in your sleeve when a food craving is trying to overcome you.
Doctor, author and world-renowned nutrition expert Jonathan Carp, M.D. says that the key to sticking to a new diet is to replace bad, inflammatory foods with tasty, health foods and recipes.
“The main pitfall for most people starting a new diet, mostly low-carb, is that the ‘cheat-foods’ and our favorite dishes are very tempting,” said Dr. Jonathan Carp “… and the longer we are on these strict, restrictive diets the more our willpower gets sapped until there is a breakdown and fallback to old patterns of eating carbs, sugar and processed comfort foods.”
“That is the reason why I created the line of Miracle Noodle foods in the first place”, he adds. “And having helped over 100’000 customers, clients and patients get closer to their dream body and dream health I’m happy that it has worked out so well!”.
He told us that the only reason it has worked out so well, is that there simply was a huge demand from people who were sick of depriving themselves of their favorite tasty foods when dieting and restricting carbs and sugars.
“No doubt about it, this has become a huge movement already. Because there are a lot of people who silently hoped that you can manage your weight and be healthy without having to live a bland, tough, colorless life and at the same time not having to compromise eating a good meal with a glass of wine from time to time”.
The biggest mistake people make when starting or trying to stick to a paleo diet is going cold turkey. The switch from SAD (standard American diet) to a happy, healthy, weight-loss promoting paleo diet most likely won’t happen within 24 hours. You need the right environment with the right foods that support you in making that switch and transition.
“There is this unrealistic ideal out there being pushed by health gurus and fitness trainers that we need to eat perfectly all the time and that we should be able to have an iron-will and never eat foods we like.
From having worked with and helped transform the lives of our customers and my patients. I know that it is not that easy to make the transition from bad diet to good diet,” explains Dr. Carp “you need transition foods that are healthy but still satisfy the cravings for sugar and carbs. You can’t switch off cravings and old habits from one day to the next. That is not how we are hardwired. The old saying that we are creatures of habit (whether good or bad) is very true in this example. This is where easy-switch superfoods come in”.
The Miracle Noodle store has been called an ‘El Dorado’ or treasure trove for just such easy-switch foods. In that online store you can find everything from gluten-free, high-fiber pasta (made out of a little-known plant in Japan) to low-calorie, filling rice and spaghetti. The family-owned and family-run business has accumulated over 100’000 passionate customers and fans over the years without doing much advertising or promotion at all.
“Nearly all of our customers and fans have simply come to try out one of our products because one of their friends or family member has told them about it,” Dr. Carp tells us calmly but enthusiastically.
Since his start seeing patients in 2000, Dr. Carp has devoted his life to the scientific and practical study of nutrition for healthy, natural and effortless weight management. The passion has come from seeing his mother, Susan, struggle with weight-loss most of her adult life. The resolve to end her weight management frustrations once and for all lead Dr. Carp to figure out a common-sense, easy to implement approach to dieting. As mentioned earlier, the key when restricting carbs and sugars is to have other foods (without carbs or sugars, but with high fiber), which can satisfy these natural cravings.
About a decade ago Dr. Carp, while working full-time as a physician, opened up Miracle Noodle for business, because there was simply so much demand for these kinds of ‘transitional foods’ (also called easy-switch foods) that someone had to take on the task of making such foods available to the United States.
“When somebody asks to you, ‘Wow, you completely transformed in the last 3 months, what’s your secret?’ that’s when you know that Miracle Noodle is your secret weapon that makes change almost effortless.
