Everyone knows that holidays can be challenging for those following a Paleo or a Grain-Free diet. All the classic holiday baked goodies - gingerbread cookies, holiday bark, pumpkin pies, cranberry bread and more - are not typically made to suit the paleo or grain-free diet, leaving you out of the fun of eating all the holiday treats.
What is Paleo? It is a diet that focuses on eating foods similar to those available in the Paleolithic era. The Paleo diet is also known as the stone age diet, hunter-gatherer diet, or caveman diet.
People who follow the paleo diet very often have great health results. This is believed to occur because harmful foods that humans are not adapted to eating are removed from the diet. At the same time, there is a dramatic increase in the number of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants added to the diet.
The Paleo diet is short for Paleolithic diet, and it is an attempt to recover our ancestral eating habits, those that kept us away from chronic disease and metabolic problems during the Stone Age. It may sound outdated, but it is a very similar approach to the recommendations given by modern medicine.
Are you thinking about diets because you want to lose weight? With the outburst of obesity that we’re experiencing in most countries, dieting has become a trending topic. But even before you start losing weight with Paleo, something will happen in your blood.
