What is all the hype about a Paleo
Diet? There is the claim that you can live longer and healthier.
Is this diet worth investigating and following?

Maybe it is not a bad idea. I have
not tried it, but it sounds very intriguing. There are awesome
claims that you can loose weight with this diet.
1. Don't Eat
According to Dr. Loren Cordain, who has
written several books on the Paleo Diet, you should not eat cereal
grains, dairy, refined sugar, and potatoes. He further talks about a
paleo breakfast that might consist of an omelet with saute' onion,
peppers, mushrooms, broccoli in olive oil, and maybe add diced
turkey. Now the omelet sounds delightful, but giving up potatoes
cereal grains is something I question. Maybe I question it so much
because I like those foods. He does, however, talk about several ways
to incorporate this into your lifestyle.
This plan has sometimes been referred
to as the caveman's diet according to WebMD. It is further suggested
that you can loose weight during this time and it is important to
avoid processed foods. Now is it possible that most of the food you
like just happens to be processed foods? You may need to start
looking at that.
2. What it is?
The Paleo diet is a plan detailing
foods that may have been eaten during 2.5 million years ago according
to the Mayo Clinic. They further add this diet plan may include
fruits, vegetable, nuts, and lean meats.
3. Safe for Kids
Million of years ago hunters gave their
children foods from the paleo diet as oppose to making soy formula,
and rice cereals according to Neely at paleoplan.com. In fact soy
formula did not exist during the caveman era. In addition, Neely
talks about sweet potatoes, squash, and white potatoes becoming your
kids best friend. Now, I guess there are apparently a few
differences of opinions as you can see earlier in this article Dr.
Loren Cordain suggests not eating potatoes.
4.. Pros and Cons
It is suggested that the paleo diet is
the way the humans were designed to eat according to Dr. Loren
Cordain who started the study in the 1970's. It is further suggested
that this paleo plan may be pricey, no dairy products does not help
your bone growth, and taking away some foods can cause a nutrient
imbalance. Is the Paleo Diet worth it? Will it cause more harm than
good? Have you tried the Paleo Diet and it is working for you? What
are your thoughts on this?

Ive heard of this diet too, but have been hesitant to try it because it bans so many of the foods I like to eat. There have been others that try the diet and make and exception list. This means they stick to the diet as close as possible, but will compromise on a few things. Thanks so much for sharing such an informative post with us on #SHINEblogshop!
Thanks Maria. I have the same sentiments.
