The Going Out Diaries is all about sharing fun and tasty experiences when dining out or picking up food—at restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, or anywhere you can find food! Our focus is on trying new foods while staying true to a Paleo diet. Whether we’re sitting down to eat at a restaurant or grabbing a quick bite from a store, it’s an opportunity to explore different options and spend quality time with family and friends. These diaries are here to help you find great places to eat, shop, and try dishes that fit your Paleo lifestyle.
We’ll explore what to look for when choosing food on the go, offering tips specifically for Paleo eaters. If you’re at a restaurant, a gas station, or picking up snacks at a convenience store, it’s important to make mindful choices. For example, at a restaurant, avoid heavy sauces on meats and be cautious of overly buttery vegetables. A little butter is fine, but too much sauce can be overpowering. A helpful tip is to ask for sauces on the side to taste first—over time, you’ll learn what works best for your body.
When stopping at a gas station or convenience store, look for Paleo-friendly snacks like nuts, seeds, jerky (without added sugar or preservatives), fresh fruit, or even hard-boiled eggs if available. Avoid processed snacks that contain refined sugar or artificial ingredients. For drinks, stick to water and avoid sugary drinks and sodas.
Whether we’re eating out, stopping by a gas station for a quick snack, or picking up groceries, the key is making smart choices that align with our Paleo goals. The Going Out Diaries celebrates the joy of finding new flavors, maintaining healthy habits, and making memories with loved ones—no matter where we go. Let’s dive into the world of dining out, shopping, and grabbing food on the go while staying true to our Paleo lifestyle!
