I want to dedicate this book to Regina , she introduced me to the PBD and my life has never been the same since, thanks Regina .

A lot of persons have heard of the Paleo diet but do not really know what it is. This diet is a high protein, low sodium and low sugar which will get an individual in the best state of health. It is based on the diet that our ancestors from the Paleolithic era had. Though the main aim of the diet is to promote health, it also works great for weight loss. The individuals that developed this diet are of the belief that the cavemen that lived in the Paleolithic or Stone Age era had the best and most suitable diet for man .

This is so because since that time our genes have not changed much (only 0.01%) but the way in which we live has changed by leaps and bounds. It is thought that it is best that we revert to that diet as all the food was fresh and had no chemicals . Animals were hunted and food was picked and consumed. There was none of the additives, artificial flavorings or preservatives that we have today.

During the Stone Age, there really was no need for foods that had a longer shelf life or any requirement for instant foods. The need for these things has only come about in recent years as we have the ever increasing need to have things easier for convenience. With the additions of these chemicals some foods are no longer as good for us as it used to be. Even if we have natural food the wrong portions are consumed posing more of a risk to our health than anything else.

This is the basis on which the Paleo diet was created. It is meant to keep us away from foods that are not good for us and give food options that can provide all the nutrients that our body needs. The cavemen had very healthy lifestyles without the conveniences of fast food that we now have. The diet allowed our ancestors to do their daily tasks which were rather labor intensive and required a lot of energy. They spent their time walking for miles to pick their food and hunt and all this was possible because of the diet.

This diet has a high protein component as the aim is to provide the right amount of energy to carry out tasks which are labor intensive. It also has a lot of vegetables and fruits which help provide the right amount of nutrients and vitamins for the body. These food groups can be consumed without limits. In fact the more that you can consume the better off you will be. The need to take supplements will be reduced as the diet will have all the necessary nutrients.

The Paleo diet is low in sugar and sodium as too much sugar and salt is not good for the body. The cavemen had this sort of diet because they did have access to artificial sweeteners or refined sugar and they did not cook in the way that we do now so a lot of salt was not needed to flavor dishes.

The diet really brings everything back to basics. Through the consumption of fresh vegetables, fruits and meat one will be much healthier than if one consumed boxed, canned, processed and other foods including dairy which did not exist in the Stone Age era .

There are a lot of things going on in the body on a daily basis and a lot of things get into our bodies that can make our health deteriorate. Making changes to the way in which you eat can allow you to cleanse the body and restore the body to premium working condition, lowering the risk of disease while providing the body with the necessary nutrients.

A list of the benefits of the Paleo diet is listed below . It is:

A diet that is dense in nutrients

Low in carbohydrates and sugar

Low in artificial products

Easy to keep the balance in the glucagon to insulin ratio

Free from the harmful effects of gluten

Free from the harmful effects of high insulin

A great diet to achieve a lean body mass

Great to promote acne free skin

The way to get relief from auto immune diseases

The way to get relief from any disease that is metabolic

The way to get relief from disease of affluence

A way to increase energy

A way to better athletic performance

The best way to lower the risk for autoimmune disease, gastrointestinal disease, acne, arthritis, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and much more.

The question can then be posed - how exactly is the average diet harmful?

The average diet has quite a number of harmful foods that we should not be consuming . These include but are not limited to:

Dairy (triggers acne and high levels of insulin)

Grains (triggers high levels of insulin and causes damage to the lining of the intestine)

Alcohol (triggers high insulin response and is highly toxic)

Sugar (any type of sugar will trigger high levels of insulin)

Hormones (refrain from eating hormone injected meat)

Antibiotics (refrain from eating meat injected with antibiotics and if possible avoid oral antibiotics and if you have to then take probiotics after the course of antibiotics are complete)

Genetically modified foods (GMOs)

Artificial flavoring and coloring

Preservatives

Copious amounts of table salt

Sugar substitutes or artificial sugar (splenda, sweet n low, equal- stevia not included as it is an herb)

Trans-fats (hydrogenated fat that clogs arteries)

How can the Paleo diet help?

Are you interested in losing weight? The Paleo diet is a great balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat. If you are trying to lose weight or are overweight it is best to refrain from consuming a lot of oils, seeds and buts. As soon as you have achieved your ideal weight you can increase the fat you consume.

If the problem is being overweight then you should take a fish oil supplement (one gram for every ten pounds of body weight and point five grams to maintain weight). When one is overweight it also means that you are in an inflammatory state. The omega-3 which the fish oil is packed with can help lower this level of inflammation. Note that the consumption of fat will not cause you to gain more weight . You should also eat to satisfy hunger not to be extremely full. You will still feel hungry when you just begin but the body will adapt after a while. The Paleo diet will also help you to achieve the lean body mass that you have always wanted to achieve and the results will be accelerated if you do some cross-fit training.
