    What Is Paleo Diet?

    We’ve spent most of our time adapting to the food we ate before the Agricultural Revolution: animal foods, wild vegetables, and fruits in season, along with limited amounts of nuts & seeds. Our bodies are built to consume these foods, but this is not what our diets look like today. Paleo is based on the idea that this mismatch between our bodies and our diet might be the reason for modern health problems like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Just like any other animal, humans suffer when we stray from our natural diet, but when we return to it, everything changes. Food stops making us sick and starts making us strong, energetic, and vibrant with health. More than just a diet; it’s a lifestyle!

    At a glance

    To help you get up and running with new, healthier habits, the following is a big-picture overview of what Paleo is all about. Want more? Check out our Paleo 101, our Keto 101, Keto FAQ or our Paleo Guide posts, as they cover all these points and more in greater detail.

    AVOID TOXIC OR INFLAMMATORY FOODS

    Toxic or inflammatory foods include:

    Grains

    Wheat, rye, barley, oats, brown rice

    Legumes

    Soy beans, peanuts, chickpeas, kidney beans

    Vegetable seed oils

    Soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, canola oil

    Added sugar

    Sodas, cakes, fruit juices. Some sugar from natural sources like fruit is perfectly fine.

    Dairy

    Sources of dairy are high in protein (casein) and sugar (lactose) and low in healthy butter-fat.

    EAT NATURAL AND NUTRIENT-RICH FOODS

    You can eat a vast array of vegetables (including root and starchy vegetables), meat, poultry, fish, seafood, healthy fats, eggs, and fruits. Nuts and seeds are good too, but too many can be problematic. Focus on eating a variety of foods that are high in vitamins and minerals. These include:

    Organ meats

    Liver, kidney, bone marrow, heart, brain

    Leafy green vegetables

    Spinach, kale, swiss chard, arugula

    Meat from grass-fed ruminants

    Beef, bison, lamb

    Mollusks & other seafood

    Oysters, mussels, wild salmon, sardines

    Fermented foods

    Sauerkraut, kimchi

    Egg yolks

    Bone broth

    You can consult our list of Paleo foods to get a big picture of what foods are considered Paleo.

    OPTIMIZE YOUR LIFESTYLE

    Evolutionary history can teach us about more than just food! Lifestyle changes can help keep your digestive system healthy, your body strong and resilient and your immune system primed to face down viruses and bacteria.

    Get frequent sun exposure or supplement vitamin D when sun is not an option

    Reduce and manage stress in your life

    Implement healthy sleeping habits

    Get frequent and healthy exercise

    Sleep, stress management and exercise are the big three elements, other than diet, that are most important for optimal health.
