The Paleo Diet Menu

What is the Paleo diet?

The paleo diet, or to give it it's full title The Paleolithic diet also goes by the names The Caveman diet and The Stone age diet.
Whilst the paleo diet would appear to derive from mankind's distant past, it is actually a modern nutritional diet plan which is based on the presumed diet of hominids from the paleolithic era which ended around 10,000 years ago.

The main staples of a paleo diet menu consists of fish, vegetables (cooked and raw) fruit, fungi, roots, nuts and a variety of grass fed pasture raised meats.
A paleo diet menu avoids legumes, dairy products, potatoes, all refined salt and sugars and any processed oils.

The Health Benefits of a Paleo Diet Menu

Some of the main benefits of adhering to a paleo diet menu

Adhering to a paleo diet menu is regarded by many nutritionists as the #1 healthiest diet you can eat as it is the only diet that actually works with your genetics to help you stay strong, lean and energetic.
Interestingly scientists studying out paleolithic ancestors  have revealed that cardio-vascular disease  and strokes were virtually non-existent.
When thought about logically, the paleo diet, above all other diets, makes the most sense considering the amount of processed foods and additives that we consume on a daily basis with our modern diets compared to the paleo diet which is a 100% natural and instinctive diet.

Paleo Diet Menu Guidelines

• A paleo diet menu should be high in fat and low to moderate in carbohydrates, portion control is not encouraged.
• Eat generous amounts of red meat, poultry, pork, eggs, fish and shellfish, there is no need to avoid the fatty cuts of your chosen meat!
• Eat good quantities of vegetable, frozen or fresh, cooked or raw.
• Cut out all processed oils, sugar, including soft drinks and packaged fruit juices and all dairy products other than butter.
• Eat when you are hungry! don't feel that you should stick to a timed three meals a day regime, similarly if you aren't hungry....don't eat! skipping a meal or two when you are not hungry will do you no harm!
• Sleep whenever you can and try to avoid stressful situations.
