You might have been hearing and seeing a lot about the so called paleo diet! I will try to make this as simple as possible so you can get out there and start eating HEALTHY!
The paleo diet consists of eating what our hunter-gatherer ancestors used to eat a really loooong time ago. Dr. Loren Cordain based his "paleo diet" on years of research which showed that our ancestors had no chronic illnesses and diseases. Research showed that not only they were healthier, but also that their eating habits along with their daily activities made and maintained them physically strong individuals. The foods that were available at that time were fresh fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and game meat, if you can get it, fish, seafood, fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and healthful oils (olive, coconut, avocado, macadamia, walnut and flaxseed). Dairy products, cereal grains, legumes, refined sugars and processed foods were not part of our ancestral menu.
If you have tried everything but have yet to find the right diet for you, give this a try for 30 days and let me know what you think!
Because a picture is worth a thousand words, I am posting a very basic guide of what you can and cannot eat while following the paleo diet.
