Paleo in Thailand...

Yes, there is grass fed beef (and not just those leathery white village cows), you can get coconut oil cheap, and as long as you stay away from trying to make fake neolithic foods with paleo ingredients (e.g. heaps of almond and coconut flour), it isn't that difficult.

Besides, any country with easily available grilled meat on a stick can't be that bad!

So here is what I got in a noodle shop the other day:


From the left, clockwise.  
  • Pad-see-euw "gao lao" (at least this is what they call it at Yui's): Lots of pak kanat (dark green leafy veg), pork and egg.
  • Pumpkin curry with egg and chicken
  • Omelet with "cha om" (acacia leaves)
  • Duck (the gravy probably has gluten in it, so if you remember tell them no gravy) 
 Yes, they probably cook with seed oils, and may use some sugar to help get the spices right, but not bad for cheap food (well, the duck isn't so cheap, but it was Sunday...).

  1. We must not have read the same article because I read to eat red fatty meat and eggs, everything else in moderation.
