New to Paleo?

Have no idea what the Paleo diet is but kind of wish you did?

No worries! Simply put, the Paleo diet is a highly effective and enjoyable way of eating, modeled after the diet of our ancient ancestors.  It consists of:

• Meats (preferably grass-fed)
• Vegetables
• Nuts / Seeds
• Fruits
• Healthy Dairy (raw, grass-fed)
• Healthy carbs (sweet potatoes, yams, squash, some rice, etc)
• Healthy fats (olive oil, coconut oil/butter, avocado)

 And avoids:

• Processed sugars
• Bread/pasta/grains/wheat
• Beans / legumes (although this comes down to preference and tolerance)
• Processed dairy and meats
• Alcohol  / soda
• Basically, anything that has been processed or tampered with, and is not something that would have been available to our hunter/gather ancestors.

This list is rudimentary at best, but comprises the basics of a Paleo diet.  If you are truly interested in making the switch to this program, check out these essential starting points (where I and many others have begun as well):
