Well, good. Being skeptical is a sign of intelligence. You need more information before you make any decisions. So to start, I’ll tell you the basic idea behind the Paleo diet, the science behind why people lose so much weight on it, and why they’re able to KEEP the weight off.
Then I’ll tell you all about how my new recipe book solves the three main problems with the Paleo diet! (Can’t wait to find out? Click here…)
See, the basic idea behind Paleo is simply this: our bodies are not designed to handle all the stuff we have in our modern diet. Modern man (homo sapiens) has been around for 200,000 years, and for almost all of that time, we didn’t even have farms, let alone grocery stores.
For most of our time on Earth, humans lived as hunter-gatherers, moving from place to place and eating what was available in nature. And that was mostly plants (they’re easy to catch). On a good day you’d snag some fish — less often a bird or some red meat — but for the most part, humans ate plants they found.
I could go through the whole timeline, but I’ll spare you the history lesson and just sum it up:
Do you see where I’m going here? For 3 million, 999 thousand, 999 years our diet consisted mostly of nutritious plants. The idea of eat-w ver-whenever is less than a few hundred years old. White flour (which has zero nutrition and dangerous chemicals by the way), and crazy unnatural things such as high fructose corn syrup and Cheetos and Coco Pops are even more recent (and diabolical).
Grains and dairy… weird? Really? It seems odd to say it with all the talk about milk and calcium and bones, and the food pyramid recommending 9-11 servings of grain a day, but scientists are realizing more and more that grain and dairy cause a whole bunch of digestive and immune system problems. Yes, even whole grains.
Our liver can’t handle the overload and the kidneys have to help out. They get tired. We get tired. We consume so much sugar and carbs that our bodies no longer have to burn stored fat to get energy. Obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue, allergies (inflammation), bloating, insomnia, frequent illnesses, heart disease, even headaches… they’re all signs that beautifully balanced machine that is the human body isn’t working properly. And they’re all modern problems caused by the modern nutrition-poor diet.
So Paleo strives to bring us back in balance by eating foods we’re biologically designed to process. The Paleo diet focuses on eating a variety of vegetables, preferably raw, and going easy on the other stuff, and eliminating or grains and dairy or keeping them to a minimum. Strict Paleo followers completely eliminate dairy, sugar (except from fruit), and all grains, but as I’ll discuss later, there’s some flexibility there… Read more…
