We normally don’t like the word “diet,” because it’s often associated with a temporary meal plan that you only use when you’re feeling bad about helping yourself to that third slice of birthday cake. But the Paleo Diet is more than just a quick way to lose a couple pounds – it’s a way to change your whole lifestyle.
The Paleo Diet (otherwise known as the “caveman diet”) got its name because it’s based on the foods that our hunter-gatherer, Paleolithic ancestors would eat. Since humans were not originally intended to digest grains, legumes and dairy, this diet plan cuts them out and focuses more on all natural foods, such as meat and low-starch fruits and vegetables. Many of the Paleo Diet recipes choose meals that are high in protein, fiber, potassium and vitamins, and are low in carbohydrates and sodium.
It’s easier than you think to maintain this lifestyle. We have a lot of Paleo-friendly versions of some of your favorite recipes. They’re so delicious you won’t even realize they’re healthy!
