What is the Paleo Diet?
The simplest way to explain this diet is to break it down to its grassroots, “if cavemen didn’t eat it, neither should you” and as farfetched as that may seem, it is pretty logical if you think about it. The genetic structure has never changed drastically enough over the years, then why is it that so many of us are obese, overweight or dying due to preventable diseases.
Before the days of Netflix and snicker bars, our ancestors were hunters and gatherers so it’s safe to say they were pretty physically fit.
So there are some obvious things that you should eat such as meat, eggs, vegetables, nuts, seeds and other things that the cavemen loved, steering clear from any candy, sweets, processed foods and basically anything that a caveman might not have had access too.
