However, as the Paleo diet has grown in popularity, there are many others that have heard about it through a friend or a colleague and want to try it for a number of reasonsranging from weight loss to improved energy to managing symptoms of an autoimmune condition.People that have a basic understanding of the Paleo diet and have some tips and tricks in their back pocket tend to be most successful. This section will explain everything you need to know to get started, as well as provide you with our top tips.The Paleo diet is more of a lifestyle than a diet. It aspires to achieve optimal health by following a diet based on what and how our Paleolithic ancestors ate. The current Paleo movement uses our ancestors as a starting point, but leverages modern science to expand from there. Essentially, it is a diet focused on consuming whole, natural foods, such as meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts and healthy fats.HOW TO GET STARTED
Eat plenty of meats, seafood, vegetables, eggs, healthy fats and some fruit and nuts. Avoid eating gluten, processed oils and refined sugar.Always purchase the highest-quality ingredients that you can affordFoods that are organic and grass-fed are not only void of toxins, such as pesticides and antibiotics, but are also highly nutritious. However, if you cant afford those at the moment, dont fret. Just focus on doing the best you can!Avoid grains and legumesIts especially important to avoid wheat and other gluten-containing grains, such as rye and barley. But also avoid soy, corn, beans and peanuts (they are actually a legume, not a nut).Avoid added sugarsThis includes artificial sweeteners and all refined sugars. Only occasionally consume natural sweeteners, such as honey, maple syrup and coconut sugar.Avoid vegetable oils and industrial seed oilsThis includes canola, corn, soybean, cottonseed, safflower and sunflower oil, among others.Dont be afraid to include healthy fats in your dietThis includes animal fats, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, ghee, grass-fed butter (if you tolerate it well), lard (from pasture-raised pigs), tallow, etc. Next page
