What Makes The Paleo Diet Plan Different?

If you're serious about your body and want to lose paleo cereal some weight then there's a good chance that you'll have brushed across the Paleo Diet.

Estimates vary but agriculture as we know it has been around for maybe 10 to 15 thousand years, give or take. The timings get blurred as our ancestors weren't too good at writing things down so we have to rely on other ways to work out what happened.

Whatever the precise timing, it isn't very long in evolutional terms.

Humans started evolving roughly 200,000 years ago. For most of that time we've eaten what was available naturally - animals that we could hunt and kill, plants that were growing naturally.

Which is what our bodies expect to eat and what the Paleo diet works on.

Allowable foods are:Meats and fishFruitsVegetablesNutsBerriesThe banned list is equally short:Grains wheat, rice, etcBeansPotatoesDairySugarSaltSo if your idea of losing weight is being forever doomed to eat boring food lettuce salad with no dressing anyone?

If you've tried low carb diets like Atkins you're also in for a nice time.

The Paleo diet is surprisingly flexible.

At the start you may get withdrawal symptoms from the modern high sugar, high carb foods we eat. So it's probably best to wean yourself onto the Paleo diet over the course of a few weeks. Maybe breakfasts move over to Paleo the first week, breakfasts and evening meals week two, all three main meals week three.

By the time you reach a month into the Paleo diet, all sorts of nice things will be happening.

Cutting salt out or at least down gives you an initial weight loss, mainly from the water that salt helps our bodies to retain.

After that you'll find that you're hungry less often. And if you are hungry, munch away on whatever takes your fancy from the first list.

You'll also notice that your clothes don't feel as tight.

If you watch the scales they'll confirm your suspicion that your weight is dropping.

If you walk around, climb stairs or do any form of exercise you'll notice that the exercise seems to be getting easier and that you recover faster.

And the only thing you've done differently is get rid of the things in your diet that our ancestors never evolved to eat.

The only thing I found difficulty when I first shifted onto the Paleo diet was having to read the labels on food. My first few shopping trips took a lot longer but now I'm used to it, that's no issue. I now know that most sausages have wheat in them, bacon is drenched in salt, all that kind of information. But I also feel healthier and am getting into clothes that I thought were forever consigned to history so overall it's been great news.
