What is Paleo?
Paleo is about eating what we were designed to eat. It is the way that we as humans ate before agricultural practices were introduced. The theory is that once we started to eat foods that were designed to feed the masses through industrialised food production and processing, we started to get sick. The food that we were eating was no longer nutritionally rich and lacked the nutrients we needed for good health.
The lifestyle is full of nutritious foods that keep you energised and provides the correct nutrients that keep your body functioning properly.
Foods that can be eaten:-
• Meats including:- Lamb, Beef, Pork, Poultry, Organ Meats
• Seafood
• Vegetables
• Fruits
• Nuts and Seeds
• Healthy fats: including Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, & Olive Oil
• Eggs
