Sticking to a Paleo/Primal regiment while traveling isn't as hard as it may seem. How strictly one sticks, however, remains to be seen...
My recent trip to Tennessee and North Carolina started off well enough. I packed a few items from home (fruit and 100% chocolate for example) and was able to easily find gluten-free jerky, plenty of water, and pork rinds while on the road.
Trips to restaurants were also simple affairs that involved ordering burgers without buns. However, the temptation to cleanse my palate with some beer soon got the better of me.
After arriving in North Carolina, Mother Nature provided some fresh Paleo nomz of both the animal and vegetable variety.
Although food wasn't the purpose behind our trip to the famous Whistle Stop Antique Mall, I ended up stumbling upon some old-school Paleo inspiration.

Just kidding, but on the way home, there was a BBQ stand that had killer brisket.
Spending time with my parents started off promisingly. Fresh berries, almonds, 100% chocolate, and half & half for breakfast and ribs cooking on the grill.
When night fell, however, Foodmageddon officially began. The feasting continued well into the following day.
Moral of the story, life is short and sometimes made-from-scratch goodness trumps Paleo-ness.
Nice post! Sometimes we have to do the best that we can with our surroundings. I can tell you that I am not 100% Paleo yet (I am more of a low-carber that almost eats no grains, [except for real beer]), or dairy, but I can 100% relate to this post.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the post John. I'd rather present an honest rather than an idealized picture and am happy to hear that you can relate!
