Time-saving slow cooker roast

Recipes, Slow Cooker, Nutrition, Beef, Lamb, & Bison

I love my slow cooker. It saves me SO much time in the kitchen by allowing me to cook in bulk to either eat from for several days in a row or portion and freeze for later. One-pot-meals in the slow cooker sure are great, but sometimes I just don't want to eat the same thing in a row for several days. So, I got the idea to start cooking up my roasts with a bare minimum of additional ingredients, or sometimes, with nothing extra at all, so that the meat can be used in a wide range of different final dishes. Since the meat is minimally seasoned, I can reheat it in any number of recipes, using whatever ingredients I happen to have on hand.

Ancestral Wisdom, Nutrition, Amanda's Story

So, you've read my success story and now you're curious how I did it. You can call it primal, or paleo, or one of my favorites, eating like a predator (not prey). I'll give you a list of what I eat and what I avoid. But first, I want to give a bit of a disclaimer.

We are all individuals. No two people will see identical results following identical diets. We all react differently to different foods. There is no one universal human diet (although there are some universal things to avoid). Certain foods listed below may not sit well with you. It might be avocados, or broccoli, or papayas, or beef heart. It's difficult to predict. Listen to your body. And know that what doesn't digest well today will likely be no problem after a period of abstinence and clean eating. What do I mean by clean eating? This:

Hi! I'm Amanda, The Curious Coconut™. I reversed obesity and regained my health with the Paleo diet. In 1 year I lost 80 lbs of fat and got off all medications. Later I healed leaky gut with functional medicine and acupuncture. I am a neuroscience geek (with a masters degree), so you will often find interesting science tidbits sprinkled among the delicious Paleo and AIP recipes and natural beauty tips.
