There are a lot of ways to lose weight, but the paleo diet is probably one of the most sustainable ways to shed the pounds and build muscle. Personally, I love it because it helps me focus on building muscle while eliminating excess carbs. There are no pills or special foods you need to order. A simple grocery store, standard kitchen, and great recipe will do.

If Chinese takeout recipes are not part of a diet plan, I don’t want anything to do with it. This sesame chicken recipe is low in calories but hits the roof when it comes to flavor.

6. Orange Chicken

The infamous orange chicken. So good, yet you should never look at the nutritional value when ordering it at a restaurant. This recipe? Go for it and make it for your kids, cause it is paleo friendly!

7. Grilled Salmon Cucumber Salad


North South Blonde

If I make salmon for dinner, I will grill a couple extra fillets and whip up this little number the night before. It is so light, flavorful, and cool during those hot summer days.

8. Turkey Pot Pie Soup

Soups are extra fun to make because you can get a bit creative with what you put into it. This turkey pot pie soup is filled with good protein and fiber-rich veggies, making it a win all around.

9. Paleo Pineapple Chicken

This recipe is so savory you won’t even realize you are dieting. I especially love grilled pineapple, and the way blogger Michele combines it with some other spices makes it an easy yet impressive recipe.

10. Chicken Nuggets


The Castaway Kitchen

Some paleo recipes can get a bit crazy on the chicken nugget recipes. I like this one because it still gives that great flavor without feeling too healthy. Basically, it is paleo junk food.

11. Thai Meatballs

This recipe combines the yummy flavors of Thai food with the convenience of meatballs. I make these for dinner and they are super filling. So I always have a few extra to throw in my lunch for the next day!

12. Chicken Salad Wraps


Bravo For Paleo

Paleo or not, chicken salad is one of my favorite summertime lunches to enjoy. Light, yet filling enough to give me plenty of energy until dinner.

13. Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potatoes

If I ever have a huge appetite I reach for this recipe. It has the protein in the chicken and the fullness of the sweet potatoes, plus the flavor of the buffalo just brings it all together for the perfect big meal. Diet, yet still big.

14. Coconut Crusted Chicken with Avocado Sauce


Fit To Blog

This recipe makes me feel like I am back in Hawaii and I bought a great place on the water. I am grilling up some coconut crusted chicken with fresh avocado sauce. The sun is shining, the pool is sparkling, and my dinner is paleo friendly! Try out this cooking utensil too.
