Paleo Diet ? What is it all about?

the idea of eating “what we’re programmed to” has been around since the 1960s, it was only in 2001, when the high priest of paleo, Loren Cordain, published The Paleo Diet, that it began to grow in popularity in America.

By 2013 the Paleo Diet has become the most sought after diet program in America.

Paleo Diet means we should stick to what the cavemen ate – meat, vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts – and avoid grains, along with anything that prehistoric man wouldn’t have recognised, such as dairy, pulses, sugar and, of course, processed food.

Benefits of Paleo Diet

1. You will eat a clean diet without additives, preservatives, or chemicals.
2. You do get the anti-inflammatory benefit from the plant nutrients in fruits, vegetables, oils, nuts, and seeds.
3. You will be eating more iron through increased red meat intake.
4. You will have improved satiety — a feeling of fullness between meals, due to the higher intake of protein and fats.
5. Most people will lose weight primarily due to the limited food choices.
