The Paleo Diet

Plants and animals include everything our ancestors ate (from a huge list of individual foods) to obtain proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and other nutrients needed to maintain good health.

The paleo diet focuses on quality sources of animal protein, whether organic, organic or wild sources of meat, poultry and fish. And a variety of colorful vegetables, fresh fruit and healthy sources of fat (oilseeds, seeds, their derived butters, certain oils, avocado, etc.).

In general, cereals and processed products are unsuitable for human consumption, for the simple reason that our digestive system and our genes have not had enough time to adapt to the protein structure of cereals and the excessive carbohydrate load of all forms of cultivated cereals, including whole grains.

To lose weight on the Paleo diet, the foods to avoid are processed cereals (products containing wheat and flour, such as bread, pasta, cookies, rice, corn, flakes, etc.). In the weight loss phase, natural foods rich in carbohydrates such as potatoes and bananas should be avoided.

You can’t reduce body fat on a diet that stimulates excessive levels of insulin production.

The advantages of a Paleo diet are:

• weight control;
• delay aging;
• and feel healthy, fit and energetic.
