The Raw Paleolithic Diet is the diet humans evolved to optimally live on. Yesterday was my chance to test how my kids would like a raw paleolithic day and they did love it.
My wife is out of town and took our oldest child with her on her trip. So I was left with our 4 year old son and 3 year old daughter.
In the morning we had a fruit breakfast with ripe yellow mangoes and coconut juice.
In the mid morning, my daughter and I drove up to the big wet market and bought a good number of fresh raw meats and fresh raw fish.
At home, at around 9:30am my daughter and I ate a good amount of fresh raw sirloin beef with the yellow fat.
At lunch time we had a big raw salad with our dip consisting of extra virgin olive oil, raw green honey and balsamic vinegar.
Mid afternoon snack we had a lot of red water melon.
And in the evening we had fresh raw tuna with calamansi (philippine citrus equivalent to lemon). The kids wanted more raw beef again so I did give them more.
Before going to sleep at 8:15pm I had them drink some coconut juice.
Raw days can be done, the kids did not get hungry. I told the kids we were having a raw day and they understood it. We kicked out rice yesterday. Rice is a junk food displacing more nutritious food. Instead of rice my kids ate more raw meat, raw fat, raw fruit and raw veggies. And they were satisfied.
I think I will sponsor more raw days with them until they get used to the idea.
