You may have heard me mention the Paleo diet once or twice on my blog, Facebook page, andTwitter account. (And if you do follow me, you know that's a serious understatement.)
So what is this Paleo diet, anyway, and why should I follow it?
The Paleo diet, aka the caveman diet, is based on the theory that our bodies are best adapted to consume a diet similar to that eaten by humans for some 250,000 years—including wild seafood, grassfed meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and traditional fats and oils. Since grains, legumes (beans), dairy, refined sugar and processed foods are all relatively new on the food scene, a strict Paleo diet does not include these. A "Primal" diet is not as strict as a Paleo diet and would include quality sources of dairy and some modern sweeteners.
When you follow a Paleo approach, don't be surprised if the pounds start to fall off, nagging health issues and symptoms disappear, and you have the energy of a kid again. When combined with exercise, the Paleo way of eating can put you on the path to exemplary health!
I have witnessed firsthand how this simple diet has transformed my client's health. That's why I create so many Paleo-friendly meals for my Provenance Foods menus.
Whether or not you ascribe to a Paleo diet, the benefits of eating fresh, high quality ingredients prepared with traditional cooking methods apply to everyone, and we at Provenance Fods put those principles to work with every meal we create.
So what do you think? Would you consider adopting a strict Paleo diet? Or would a modified Primal version be more appealing to you?
