The Paleo Diet, also called the paleolithic or caveman diet, consists of recipes that are natural such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and nuts. These were the foods that sustained people for years and kept us healthy, physically fit and full of energy; people were strong and thriving. But, something happened that caused our eating habits to change.
Agriculture was introduced to your lifestyle. With the introduction of agriculture, came the introduction of sugar laden, highly processed foods such as wheat flour and high fructose corn syrup. The fast, convenient foods that we are so used to eating, are toxic for our bodies and cause many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, auto immune diseases and more.
Paleo Diet recipes only include food combinations that are natural, tasty and without toxins including the following:
