What Is The Paleo Diet?

The Paleo Diet, which is gaining more momentum and followers every day, is based on the diet (not meaning weight loss) that our ancestors ate during the Palaeolithic era, which was more than some 20,000 years ago.
You see, they didn’t have all the highly processed, preserved or Genetically modified foods you find in the supermarket today.
They only had what was available to them, the foods that unspoiled nature provided.
Foods that were available to hunt and gather – game meat, fish, poultry, fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts etc.
All of these foods were in their natural state.
You see, the human body was never designed to eat the foods that are so readily available today and this modification has gone ahead so fast that our bodies, in evolutionary terms, have not been able to keep up with.
It makes sense that we return to eating these beautiful tasting natural foods rather than subject our bodies to “supermarket suicide” by eating foods that are highly processed, preserved and infused with so many additives that our digestive system can simply not cope with.
There is, no doubt, many foods that were available in that era that are not around today, likewise we have many types of meat, vegetables, fruits and nuts that were not around in that era, but as long as they are not processed we can easily incorporate them into the Paleo Diet.
