Paleo is all about natural food. You eliminate the overly-processed supermarket meals and gain your energy from healthy food, the sun and wind and freedom. Sounds romantic? It is. Lets start with what to avoid, so you can be joyful later.

What to Avoid:

• Sugar - It goes without saying that refined sugar is harmful and not just for our teeth. From the moment sugar gets into your stomach, it starts transforming into glucose. 20,000 years ago, that would have been extremely helpful in keeping us running after deer over miles and miles of forests, hills and meadows. In our more sedentary society, all that glucose gets stuck on our hips and belly even worse than eating fat would. Refined sugar is even more dangerous, as the industrial process makes it extra-sweet, turning it into an internal time bomb of an overload of calories and damaging your cells. Not to mention the risk of diabetes.

Heres a tip from the Mayo Clinic on preventing such a disease: center your diet on more fruits, vegetables, foods that are high in nutrition and fiber and low in fat and calories and cut down on refined carbohydrates and sweets . Remember, a second on your lips and a lifetime on your hips.

• Dairy - Being on dairy-free diet can greatly improve your energy levels. Our stomachs are not designed to digest milk after infancy. No wonder that some of us develop a lactose intolerance which makes life no fun at all. But in social settings its hard to avoid cakes and other desserts that are made with butter, cheese, cream and milk. But we give you 6 amazing desserts that are delicious and youll never miss the dairy or refined sugar. Paleo replacements are easy find.

Note: a few recipes in this book offer cheese as an optional ingredient, feel free to delete the cheese according to your diet and personal preferences.

• Grains - Yes, you read it right. Thats bread, pasta and crackers. And anything remotely tied to wheat and most other grains. Grains are made of carbs and turn themselves into glucose in your body. This would be ok, if you were still running over hills every minute of every day. All that extra glucose is stored as fat, because its not needed. Bread is hard to give, but once you break through, therell be no turning back. A gluten free diet is the only known cure for celiac disease, which affects the small intestine in pretty painful ways.

The Mayo Clinic tells us that If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction produces inflammation that damages the small intestine's lining and prevents absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption).

Youll be safe from gluten intolerance with every recipe in this book. Well give you tasty recipes without wheat or other grains, while keeping your stomach flat and no inflammation to your small intestine. The best of both worlds.
