Rules Of Engagement: The Paleo Diet

The Paleo diet is a popular eating plan based on the idea of consuming foods that would have been available to our paleolithic ancestors. Proponents of this diet claim numerous health benefits such as weight loss, improved digestion, and better overall health – however it is important to understand the rules of engagement for this type of lifestyle change prior to beginning one’s journey. In this blog post we will explore what the paleo diet entails, along with some tips & tricks for success!

The Basics

The Paleo Diet is based on the belief that modern human illnesses are caused by eating foods not found in human diets during Paleolithic times (around 10,000 years ago). This means eating anything our ancestors could have hunted or gathered pre-agriculture such as meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, and nuts – as opposed to processed items high in sugar/trans fats & carbohydrates (such as pasta & white bread). This also includes avoiding dairy products and legumes while emphasizing healthy fats like olive oil and coconut oil.

Adherence To Guidelines

It is important to adhere strictly and consistently to these dietary guidelines in order for them to be effective in helping improve health outcomes associated with the Paleo Diet. If you are just getting started – having a meal plan or shopping list handy can be immensely helpful in preventing lapses or missed meals – so, make sure you plan ahead! Additionally, it can be beneficial to consult with a nutritionist prior to beginning your journey to ensure your body has all the appropriate nutrients it needs based upon individual factors.

Tips For Success

Here are some additional tips for ensuring adherence & optimizing potential results from following a paleo diet:

•             Make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day – dehydration can lead to cravings

•             Incorporate occasional cheat days into your regimen for added emotional flexibility & sustainability

•             Increase exercise – even if it is simply taking a daily walk–as physical activity was an essential part of life back then!

Conclusion

Following the rules of engagement when it comes to living a paleolithic lifestyle requires dedication and consistency – but if done correctly can lead many individuals toward improved health outcomes both now & into the future! Please remember however individual results may vary so please consult with a healthcare professional beforehand tailored specifically for both short term goals as well as long term health plans!
