So what can we say about the Paleo diet?
The diet is based on the same foods our ancestors would have prepared up until 10,000 years ago. The theory is that our bodies are much more accustomed to eating a diet of natural foods that do not include agricultural or processed options.

As such Paleo foods include meat cavemen would have hunted, or the fruits, vegetables, and spices found in the wilderness. This is why it is often referred to as “the caveman diet” or “the hunter-gatherer diet”.

“Caveman? It’s 2018 though sir”
The main foods consumed on the Paleo diet include meat, fish, seafood, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. In our modern day world, we must forage through the grocery stores to find foods that are as close to their natural state as possible.

Certainly, it can be quite difficult as we must look out for preservatives, hormones, additives, chemicals, refined sugars, refined flours and many more odd ingredients we can’t even pronounce. These recipes keep it simple with ingredients that are easy to find and combine to make delicious, nutritious dishes.

The benefits go further than a smaller belly.
Furthermore it has been proven that by simply following the guidelines of the diet, we can reduce the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, and acne, just to name a few. Here are some simple yet delicious recipes for brunch, to start you on your way to better health. Or if you have already been using the diet for some time, they will be a great addition to your collection. Enjoy!
