Paleolithic diet-what are the things that everyone gets wrong about paleo?
Did you know that most of what you hear about
Paleolithic diet paleo is flat out
WRONG? No other lifestyle has gotten HALF as much attention from the medial in
the past few years. But lies and misinformation are covering up a lot of things
that make paleo great.
Sadly, a lot of people are buying into these
MYTHS. It keeps them from giving paleoa fair shot. It leaves them spinning
their wheels- frustrated and unhealthy. But don’t you think you deserve to know
the TRUTH? Especially when your health is at stake?
So lets separate FACT from FICTION. Here are
the important things almost everyone gets wrong about paleo. For the starter
paleo is a fad diet. One of the silliest ideas is that paleo is just another
fad diet. I am sure you have seen the south beach diet, the zone diet and countless
other get popular then fade away over the years.
So you might be skeptical about the next new
thing. But paleo isn’t a diet. It’s a framework based on what your ancestors
ate specially designed to help you make the best food choices. There is a
flexibility and room to tweak it just for you.
Again
it isn’t a fad either. How could it be, when our ancestors ate this way for
THOUSANDS of years? If people in the media did more research, they would see
that paleo is the opposite of a fad diet. In general people think that paleo is
too expensive.
What if paleo sounds nice but you just don’t
think you can afford it? I see where you are coming from. Buying organic
vegetables and grass fed beef is pricier than buying the usual stuff. Do you
know what else is pricey? Doctors and
hospital bills.
Eating paleo costs more than picking up fast
food everyday because it’s an INVESTMENT in your health. Sure, you pay a bit more upfront that you do for processed foods. But
that investment pays off. You get more energy. You stay out of the doctor’s
office. You get a better life.
You may think that paleo is too strict. I
could never give up bread, but I love cheese. These are the things you hear
from skeptics who think paleo is too strict to try. But no two paleo diets are the exact same. You can be as strict or
flexible as you want to be.
Some paleos avoid all grains and dairy products.
Others aren’t afraid to eat rice or put creams in their coffee. A lot of people
get caught up on the foods paleo doesn’t recommend instead of all the delicious
foods they do get to eat.
Yes, you should probably give up pasta and
bread. But isn’t it nice to be able to eat bacon, eggs and steak instead. Paleo
ISNT about taking the fun out of eating, it’s about making the best choices for
your health and still enjoying your food.
Many of us feel in paleo you don’t get enough
fiber. Government organizations, doctors and even TV commercials are constantly
telling you to eat more fiber. And most of them say GRAINS are the best way to
get it.
So it might throw you for a loop when you
find out they aren’t a part of the paleo lifestyle. Without grains, how do you
get enough fiber? Paleo offers plenty of
ways to get the fiber you really need. Eating plants is all it takes to get more than
enough. Eating fruits, nuts and seeds which are all paleo friendly gives you
plenty of fiber- without the harmful effects of grains.
You might think paleo is just another low- curb
diet. You have already seen the Atkins diet and countless others. They come off
as gimmicky ways to lose weight. You might wonder if they are even healthy.
Again I am repeating what I have said before, but paleo inst really a diet at all. It’s a healthy framework to follow;
you can change it to fit your own needs.
Paleo CAN be low curb if you want it to be. A
lot of people- especially people who very active- do aren’t well eating that
way. But paleo doesn’t have to be low curb. Plenty of people do better with
more carbs in their diet so they just eat more fruits and starchy vegetables.
That doesn’t keep them from living the paleo lifestyle.
Building
a healthier you- one meal at a time. Paleo is everywhere you look. Some of the
attention has been good. Some of it driven by myths about what paleo really is
has been bad. Now you know the TRUTH. There
is no better way to experience it than trying it out you.
