The Paleo diet is derived on understanding how our Paleolithic ancestors used to eat before we had all our modern health issues. Based on DNA evidence hour physiology has not changed significantly since then and perhaps we would do better to go back to that way of eating, before processed foods. The focus of this diet is to eat foods that are natural and avoid food that did not exist back then. Here are some of the foods recommended on Paleo Diet:
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Lean Meat
- Seafood
- Nuts & Seeds
- Healthy Fats
Here are some of the foods that did not exist back then and is recommended to be avoided:
- Dairy
- Grains
- Processed Foods & Sugars
- Starches
- Alcohol
The variation of the Paleo way of eating depended on the climate of where people lived at that time. The Paleo Diet is a low-carbohydrate diet, but the degree of low carb to the Ketogenic diet varies. You can follow the Paleo diet and be ketogenic just by adjusting the level of carbohydrates. Our focus is on reversing Diabetes caused by years of a high carbohydrate based on consuming processed foods and sugars.
