The premise of the popular Paleo diets is to eat like the caveman did. We now rely too much on processed foods and if we instead ate more natural foods instead of man-made foods we would be healthier and less overweight.
That is the thinking anyways…
The paleo diet consists of meat from grass-fed animals, wild caught fish, nuts, seeds, fruit, vegetables along with eggs. Also, included in the the paleo meal plans are plant based oils such as flaxseed, avocado and coconut oil.
What is not included in a paleo meal plan are grains, cereals, beans, peanuts, potatoes, dairy products and of course processed foods or refined sugars.
The whole idea is to mimic the type of foods our ancestors ate before we invented commercial farming.
