The Paleo diet is all about eating like our ancestors from the Stone Age. This means focusing on foods that were likely available back then. Here’s a simple breakdown:

What You Can Eat:

• Healthy Foods: Lean meats, fish, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds.

What You Should Avoid:

• Grains (like bread and pasta)
• Legumes (like beans and peanuts)
• Dairy (like milk and cheese)
• Processed sugar (like candy and soda)
• Oils that are not natural

Nutritional Benefits:

• High in Protein: You can get a lot of protein, which can make up about 30% of your total calories.
• More Fiber: You can eat around 30 grams of fiber each day from fruits and veggies.

Health Benefits:

• Weight Loss: Research shows that people can lose 5-10% of their body weight in just six months on this diet.
• Better Blood Sugar Levels: Some people see a drop in their hemoglobin A1c, which is a measure of blood sugar, by about 0.5-1.0%.

In summary, the Paleo diet can help you feel better and may improve your health. However, some people wonder if it’s easy to stick with this diet for a long time and if it gives you all the nutrients you need.
