The Paleo Diet

One of the biggest fads of our generation is getting back to basics. You see it in fashion, decorating, fitness and lifestyle. Over the years we have been bombarded with fads of every shape and size and while this back to basics mentality may be another one in many areas, one area it really does apply to is the way we eat.

If you are interested in a stricter eating plan that will produce dramatic results with minimal effort then you should consider the Paleo diet. The basic premise of this eating plan is that if your ancestors ate it, you can eat it! Naturally, this eliminates all of the obviously bad for you processed food of our generation. Our ancestors never heard of a hydrogenated vegetable oil compound or trans fatty acids.

Recent statistics show that for the first time in history, more people in current population are obese than are just over weight. While that is a startling fact, we can't help but understand why. We have fast food vendors on every corner, convenience foods filling our cabinets and television screens plastered on our foreheads. Simply put: We need to get back to basics. Rarely do we enjoy food in its purest form - every where you turn it's scattered, smothered and covered!

So what is this Paleo Diet and what can I eat? You can enjoy any lean meat, seafood, fruit, vegetable, nut or seed as well as dried fruit, diet sodas, coffee, tea and heart healthy oils. If this diet sounds like a fit for you, feel free to browse the Paleo Diet site for more information.
