" It may sound like a fancy restaurant entre\u0301e, but for 16-month-old Noelani Chin Loy, &amp;quot;smoked wild-caught salmon with soft-cooked egg yolk and avocado&amp;quot; is just dinner as usual.\u00A0 &amp;quot;Salmon is her favorite food,&amp;quot; says mom Katrina. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s pretty bourgeois about it.&amp;quot;  Of course, living Paleo (short for &amp;quot;Paleolithic&amp;quot;) involves a lot more than eating fish. Adhering to the diet strictly \u2014 as Katrina, husband Anthony and Noelani do \u2014 requires abstaining from grains, legumes and processed foods and bulking up on meat, fish and fresh fruits and vegetables.\u00A0 &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s also about moving, playing and lifting heavy things,&amp;quot; says Katrina, who&amp;#039;s in her fourth year of ophthalmology residency, &amp;quot;plus parenting primally.&amp;quot;\u00A0 Katrina breast-fed Noelani exclusively until she was ready for solids (beef liver and bone broth were among her first foods) and has co-slept with her since she came home from the hospital. In addition, Noelani goes diaper-free as often as possible.  &amp;quot;It allows her to move without restrictions,&amp;quot; says Anthony, who trained as an ear, nose and throat doctor, but now parents full-time. It also lets the family practice elimination communication, a baby-led alternative to potty training. The lifestyle is one that&amp;#039;s slowly but surely becoming more mainstream \u2014 though not usually amongst doctors, both Katrina and Anthony admit.\u00A0 &amp;quot;Paleo turns the food pyramid we learned in medical school on its head,&amp;quot; says Anthony. But, adds Katrina, &amp;quot;Anthony and I believe our bodies are built to eat lean proteins, not processed carbs. Cutting those out increases our energy.&amp;quot;  So how does Katrina stick with the diet even when she&amp;#039;s stuck on long hospital shifts? Often she eats a big breakfast of eggs and leftover dinner and then \u2014 if she&amp;#039;s really time-strapped \u2014 fasts until supper. No vending-machine raids!\u00A0 &amp;quot;It goes back to the hunter-gatherer mindset that you won&amp;#039;t always have food available,&amp;quot; she says.\u00A0 Don&amp;#039;t worry, though: Fasting, she says, is definitely for adults only. And she packs snacks like nuts, dried seaweed, kimchi, sardines, apples and bananas \u2014 &amp;quot;anything I can eat quickly.&amp;quot;\u00A0 As for making their diet work financially, the pair have learned to sleuth out deals at the farmers&amp;#039; market. \u00A0&amp;quot;Get to know your farmers,&amp;quot; Anthony says. &amp;quot;And stick around until they&amp;#039;re about to pack up. You never know what extras you&amp;#039;ll be able to score for cheap.&amp;quot; This story originally appeared in the May 2016 issue of Good Housekeeping.
