Paleo Fast Food

The Paleo diet is an amazing diet. You can lose weight, tone up your body and feel great. But how do you eat Paleo when you are out on the road or just dont have time to prepare a Paleo friendly meal?

Its not as hard as you think. The first strategy is to plan ahead. You can use leftovers to prepare a brown bag paleo meal for on the go. Left over chicken for example  with some vegetables and a piece of fruit will work as Paleo fast food when you need it. Another option is to find Paleo fast food at restaurants.

There are Paleo food places opening up, but if none is available in your area, there are a few options that will do just fine. One option is the fast food chains. Most of the fast food restaurants like McDonalds and Wendys do have meals that will work as Paleo on the Go. Many Paleo dieters will order a burger or meat sandwich and eat them without the bun as a Paleo meal on the run. Many of the chains are trying to offer healthier foods so there will be choices that are somewhat Paleo friendly. Its true that many times these foods will have preservatives, but in a pinch, these foods will do. 

Boston market is another source for Paleo fast foods. For example they offer a half chicken with two vegetables that will work nicely as a quick Paleo meal. 

There are many many options for Paleo food on the go. You can even put something together at a better restaurant, or from any deli counter. But of course for better quality fast foods, pre planning and bringing the foods you want from home is always the best answer.
