In the recent past, there has been a lot of talk about the paleo diet and the amazing benefits you can enjoy by simply going Paleo.
One of the most talked about benefits of going on a paleo diet is weight loss. I assure you that the Paleo diet is nothing like a fad diet but is instead a way of living. Therefore, if you are only looking to lose a few pounds and get back to your bad eating habits, then the paleo diet is not for you.
The Paleo diet is inspired by the diet of our ancestors during the caveman era. Supported by medical and scientific research, the diet is all about eating healthy foods and staying away from processed foods and artificial sweeteners. It takes you back to the days of our primitive ancestors who did not have to worry about diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity.
The Paleo diet is all about returning to a healthier way of life - cutting out all the heavily processed, high fat, fast food that is an invention of recent times, and getting back to the fruits, veg, meat, seafood and nuts that our Paleolithic, hunter-gatherer ancestors thrived on when our species evolved. The digestive system we have now was shaped back then so is makes perfect sense to return to a similar diet - eating organic, omitting dairy and cooking with healthy fats and the right kind of carbs.
This diet offers a welcome change in lifestyle that not only helps us lose weight but also enjoy many additional health benefits.
