Paleo Bread

Is the food you eat making you healthy, or is it wreaking havoc on your body?  

Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and obesity are reaching epidemic proportions in the population, and countless people also have issues with their digestion, from simple discomfort and gas to celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome. The solution to many of these issues can be found right there on your plate.

More and more medical professionals are asserting that taking control of your health can be as simple as considering a diet change such as living the Paleo diet. This plan has gained a great deal of popularity, but there are still many misconceptions about what Paleo actually means on a daily basis. It is thought to be incredibly restrictive, but as you’ll learn in this book, this is not the case at all. The Paleo diet is not the only eating strategy that advocates avoiding wheat, processed food, sugar, and calories devoid of nutrition.

Most mainstream health professionals would recommend exactly the same choices for vibrant health. It seems only logical that cutting out damaging ingredients and foods will make you feel better, make you look better, and cut your risk of developing disease; however, the actual problem with all this smart advice is that it is very difficult for most people to change ingrained eating habits.

The Western diet is absolutely overflowing with ingredients that are known to make people sick. Think about a regular day, and you will see bagels covered in fattening cream cheese, sugary cereal, oil-drenched French fries, and nary a vegetable or fruit anywhere!

This parade of artery-clogging weight-gain-inducing meals is often interspersed with sugary cookies and baked snacks. We are literally eating ourselves to death.

The Paleo diet is not meant to be a punishment and deprivation of all your favorite tasty treats such as bread and cinnamon rolls. In fact, it includes countless delicious foods such as chicken, beef, fish, eggs, vegetables, and fruit along with healthy oils and nuts. You might not be able to indulge in a honey-glazed cruller when eating Paleo, but you certainly do not have to give up tempting baked products and breads forever.

By using nut flours, healthy fats, and natural sugars, you will be able to wrap your chicken breast in a tortilla and enjoy a crunchy piece of toast for breakfast. Paleo breads are delicious, easy to prepare, and best of all, good for you.

Chia Paleo Bread
Chia seeds are smaller than sesame seeds and have a very mild flavor, which combines well with other ingredients. They are a wonderful source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber and have been linked to lowering cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar, and boosting energy. This recipe makes a small loaf, but it will pack a powerful nutritional punch, especially if you have a couple slices for breakfast.

• 11⁄2 cups almond flour
• 1⁄2 cup coconut flour
• 1⁄4 cup ground chia seeds
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
• 5 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons
• 1 tablespoon apple

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until incorporated completely.
5. Spoon into loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 40–50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
