Way back in the day, the Paleolithic era ran from around 3.5 million years ago until about 10,000 years B.C. The latter was the dawn of agriculture and humans moved away from being hunter gatherers (for the most part) and towards becoming tillers of the land. In our modern age, our food tends to be more processed, and therefore, often less nutritious.
There has been a trend towards organic, natural, or locally grown produce and grass-fed meat animals, and when we cook we use single ingredients and fresh herbs. The Paleo diet usually consists of fish, vegetables, nuts, fruit, roots, and meat from grass-fed animals. Most dairy products, grains, salt, refined sugar, legumes, and processed oils are excluded.
Several small studies show positive health outcomes if consuming a Paleo diet from our pre-agriculture days and there is a big movement towards humanely-raided and grass-fed food animals, and locally grown and organic produce. Because of the increasing numbers of both health food stores, natural food stores, and farmers' markets, most of these types of foods are abundant. A good cookbook for the Paleo diet helps vary the menu for people new to this way of eating.
The Paleo diet is a way of living, as well as eating. Superfoods play a major part in this food plan as they are nutritionally dense and they offer many health benefits, as well as having fewer calories and no side effects, like some supplements do. Emphasis is placed on vegetables and fruit which is low glycemic, so this diet may also benefit diabetics. Of course, checking with your health provider is always a good idea, and especially if you are diabetic.
Not allowed on the Paleo diet are soy, wheat, dairy, gluten and legumes. Portion control is important and it can be adjusted according to your health, how much exercise you get, and existing health conditions. This diet is one where locally grown produce and grass-fed meat animals are consumed, and it's definitely one that our ancestors would more than likely have used. Aside from the common or garden beef or chicken, you can also eat lamb and bison and organ meats.
Both the Atkins diet and the Paleo diet have similarities, as well as some differences. The Paleo is anti-inflammatory, gut healing and anti-autoimmune. In Atkins, the diet guidelines allow for processed food and artificial sweeteners and these can be over consumed. Caffeine is not allowed and this could be a hard thing for some people to give up.
If in doubt about a food which is allowed on the diet or not, always think - was it around over ten thousand years ago?
