PALEO DIETING DOs and DONTs

I believe Paleo is one of the healthiest ways to eat on the planet. It’s based around avoiding processed foods, gluten, grains, soy, dairy, and legumes, and eating real, unprocessed foods.

It’s more than just a diet, though — it’s a smart, adaptive, evolutionary approach that can improve any aspect of your health. It can help you lose weight, improve athletic performance, improve sleep quality and mood, reduce inflammation & arthritis, address autoimmune conditions, mental health problems & depression , and even reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Which Foods Are Paleo Friendly, and Which Foods Should I Avoid?

Dairy

Dairy is a controversial topic in the Paleo community. Technically speaking, if you’re strictly following the Paleo diet, dairy shouldn’t be consumed, as evidence shows that our ancestors didn’t have it after being breast-fed as infants. Some types of dairy, like raw and fermented, are much better for you than others. 

Soy

Although mainstream nutrition claims that soy is basically a superfood, it does not fit into the Paleo paradigm. Not only do they contain the anti-nutrients that other legumes contain, like lectins and phytic acid, but are also frequently genetically modified. GMO soy has been linked to health problems like allergies, birth defects, and fertility issues. Beyond that, soy can also disrupt hormone levels and thyroid function. This is all to say that we do NOT recommend including soy in your diet.

Gluten / Grains

Gluten is a protein found in many grains that makes them chewy and stretchy — it’s also used in many processed foods as a thickening agent. Our bodies are not designed to digest Gluten, and because of this, it can cause various issues like inflammation, leaky gut, brain fog, and more. Gluten and similar grains are NOT included in the Paleo Diet.

Legumes

Legumes are a category of food that includes foods such as lentils, peas, chickpeas, peanuts, and soybeans. On a strictly Paleo diet, legumes are to be avoided — just like dairy and grains. However, there is some gray area for those who don’t have trouble digesting them. They can be eaten if properly prepared, but it’s generally a good idea to leave them out of your regular diet as they don’t provide much nutrition and could cause problems.

Alcohol

Alcohol is a staple in global culture and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. You can maintain proper health while consuming a few drinks a week socially; however, alcohol has many downsides, especially if you have the specific goal of losing weight.

There are much more foods that you really want to know. However this article just show you some of them.
