Why Paleo
After experimenting with different diets, switching to a grain‑ and legume‑free pattern reduced cravings, stabilized glucose, and improved labs. Many find that protein‑forward meals with non‑starchy vegetables and whole‑food fats deliver steady energy and easier weight control.
Coconut pancakes (Paleo, low carb)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, pulsed finer
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil or butter for the pan
Whisk eggs. Mix dry ingredients. Combine and let sit 3–5 minutes to hydrate. Heat oil in a non‑stick pan; cook small pancakes 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Serve with a few berries and a dollop of whipped cream if tolerated.
Why this works for diabetes
Low‑carb, high‑protein breakfasts blunt mid‑morning crashes. Removing grains and legumes often reduces post‑meal spikes and cravings. Personalize portions and test your response.
