Based on the diet of our ancestors (hunters and gatherers), the Paleo Diet includes natural foods without going through any process.
It is an easy diet because you can eat all the foods our ancestors could hunt or collect, such as fish, meat, seeds, nuts, and green and regional leafy vegetables.
However, the Paleo Diet does not allow eating pasta, bread, cereals and sweets. However, it has something in its favour because you should not count calories as our ancestors did not, who did not suffer from obesity, diabetes or heart disease.
Some studies affirm that the Paleo Diet makes it possible to lose weight and even improve glucose tolerance, improving overall health.
But for this, you must follow a meal plan based on foods such as meat, fish, seeds, herbs, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables, avoiding processed foods, bread, pasta, sugar and most dairy products, legumes and vegetable oils.
With the idea that following this diet will be easier for you when preparing the menus of this weight loss plan, today from 100.Dietas.com, we share five easy Paleo recipes.
Take note of the ingredients and the step-by-step of these recipes that will be part of your menus for the Paleolithic diet to lose weight.
