Paleo friendly butternut!

I love this veggie. Unfortunately it is very seasonal in France, therefor when I saw some in a supermarket on Saturday, I jumped with excitement.  
Just bare with me,  carb options when trying to stick to Paleo (as an athlete that need carbs ) is not easy! 


This veggie is so low in calories! a Mere 45cals per 100g. It is very rich in Vit-B complex. If you can get yourself to eat the seeds, the 


seeds are excellent source of 


health promoting 


amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan converts to health benefiting GABA 


neuro-chemical in the brain.   This helps you to sleep. 


How ever, this remains a carb, so if you goal is losing the stubborn belly, then space this around workouts. 

Meal idea with your butternut! 

Pan grilled pork lean cuts. Marinated for a few hours in lemon juice, basil, pepper, cayenne pepper, and Himalayan rock salt. 

For the oven roasted butternut. 

Chop butternut into cubes.  Spray lightly with olive oil. I like to add rosemary, fresh grounded pepper, rock salt, and garlic. 

This takes quite a while in the oven. 

Mine went near and hour and half at 190 deg.
