What You CAN Eat

So getting started with this routine can seem a lot more of a daunting task than it needs to be. People often get scared out of doing something beneficial for themselves because they're more worried about restrictions and limitations than the actual allowances and benefits. So, to make things a little easier on everyone just starting out let's skip the limitations and take a look at what we CAN and SHOULD eat while on a Paleolithic Diet.

Getting Started

If you're reading this hopefully you already have a rough understand of what the Paleo diet looks like. For this post however I'll just assume everyone is new to this concept and explain a little bit about it.

The word Paleo comes unsurprisingly from the Paleolithic era and the diet strives to make our consumption of food as close as possible to that of our Paleolithic ancestors. Evolution takes time (lots of time) for our bodies to adapt and change. Our bodies and internal systems are still roughly identical to that of our ancestors which is why modern Neolithic foods have a tendency to make us overweight and sick.

Eating a Paleo diet can prevent and even reverse a whole host of diseases found in contemporary culture such as:

• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Metabolic Derangement
• Hyperinsulinism
• Autoimmune Diseases 

Eating a Paleo diet is much easier than most people think. Basically if our ancestors had access to it then it is fair game (i.e. Meat, Fish, Poultry, Pork, Veggies, Fruit, Nuts, Seeds).
As you'll most likely notice nothing is off limits except for BREAD, GRAINS, and DAIRY.

NO BREAD?!?!

 Most people turn away at the thought of no bread without giving the science behind this a fair shake. We will get further into how bread and grains are a silent killer in posts to come.

Welcome!

This blog is intended to be a jumping off point for anyone interested in adopting a "Paleo" diet. Through this blog I hope to show exactly how greatly you can improve your life with simple nutritional changes.
