When you live a paleo lifestyle, you eat real food… food that your body is designed to consume. You’ve probably heard paleo referred to as the ‘caveman diet’ before… and no, we don’t wear leopard print all the time (just sometimes). So why caveman? To put it simply, our bodies, our genetics haven’t evolved much since our late ancestors, this means the way we digest and absorb food and nutrients hasn’t changed either. The change from then to now is the introduction of agriculture, Genetically Modified Foods, pesticides, sugar and an endless selection of ‘food-like products’ readily available.
“The paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic! Research indicates it is our modern diet, full of refined foods, trans fats and sugar, that is at the root of degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression and infertility”. Robb Wolf (aka THE paleo king).
Living a paleo lifestyle means substituting lots of ‘regular’ ingredients for more unusual ones. This can be a little daunting however don’t be alarmed! We’ve got quick, easy and delish paleo recipes covered.
