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.
