Food trends 2018: This is what's on the plate
All steak lovers must be quite sad now. Because 2018 is all about plant-based products, unprocessed foods and superfoods!
1. 2018 it goes back to the stone age with Paleo
Diet trends in 2018 like to take their cue from days long gone. The Paleo diet takes us back to the Stone Age. The nutritional concept therefore consistently eliminates "new-fangled" foods such as cereals, milk, and Sugar from the plan.
Even small sins such as burgers, chips and sweets - which contain bad fats and lots of sugar - have to give way. Instead, the Stone Age man of today reaches for vegetables, fruits, fish, meat and nuts. Like in the past in the cave :)
Sounds catastrophic? Nah, it's not that bad! You can even eat cake! For example delicious Chocolate cake with sweet potatoes.
Tip: You can read more about the Paleo diet in the book "PALEO - Slim, fit and healthy with the original diet of man". read about it. I ordered it from Amazon.
2. clean eating
Clean eating is not a completely unknown nutrition concept. However, more and more people are opting for fresh foods and thus turning less frequently to convenience products.
Behind the term Clean Eating is the idea of not ingesting any convenience foods, artificial additives or preservatives, colorings or flavorings. Instead, fresh food is cooked and prepared.
The ultimate guide: healthy eating is that easy!
In addition, Clean Eaters try to avoid refined sugar and alcohol. Instead of white flour products, they tend to use whole grain alternatives. Sounds exciting? Then take a look here: Here's what you need to know about Clean Eating.
3. raw food becomes sexy again
Those who eat a raw diet avoid foods that have been heated above 42 degrees. That is, raw foodists avoid a variety of convenience foods. But do not fry, boil or bake their food even in processing.
The reason for this diet is that high temperatures would destroy the nutrients and vitamins of the food. But of course, since there are a lot of products that can not be eaten raw, raw foodists eliminate meat from the plan, among other things.
4. the vegan trend continues to spread
Vegans also do without animal products. They eat no meat, no fish, no milk or products made from milk (such as butter and cheese), and no honey. The diet is on a purely vegetable basis.
Many reasons speak for a vegan diet: health, ethical and sustainable aspects play a major role in this nutrition trend. At the same time, there are many opponents of the vegan diet.

They suspect deficiency symptoms as well as a gigantic renouncement with the meal. That is not so prove already scarcely 1 million Veganer. Tendency rising. Varied and delicious recipes can already be found on our site or in the Cookbook "Vegan can anyone!". Like a delicious Curry in the pineapple.
