If you've been asking: "what is the Paleo diet?" and "is the Paleo Diet right for me?" we've got some answers for you here...

 The Paleo Cookbook contains 100's of tasty, nutritious and easy to make dishes that will satisfy your appetites and help you improve your health.

But "What is the Paleo Diet?," you ask?

The Paleo diet is fairly simple but not easy to follow in a modern urban setting. A limited number of foods are allowed: basically the modern equivalent of what our Hunter-Gatherer ancestors would of consumed. All Farmed products including all grains and dairy, are eliminated.

Also known as the Caveman diet, practioners seek to reduce their chances of developing modern diseases like coranary heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes and to build muscle mass, strength and endurance.

Exactly what was included varied by location but generally the following items are included.

• Many Paleo diets rely heavily on meats but a wide variety of fruits and vegetables along with nuts and seeds are allowed.
• • The meats used in the Paleo diet need to be either wild or grass-fed. Eating meats raised on grains would violate the no grains ideal.
  • The organ meats from wild or grass-fed animals are included but processed meats like sausages are not.
• Fish should be wild caught. If your Paleo diet does not include wild caught fish every week, you may want to use a fish oil supplement.
• Some oils from fruits like olives and nuts including coconuts are included. Seeds are allowed as condiments but seed oils come from the Neolithic, farming culture so they are out.
• Expand your diet’s variety by adding leafy greens and herbs our Paleolithic ancestors would of found by foraging. Peterson's field guide: A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and central North America (Peterson Field Guide) can help you safely add variety to your Paleo diet.
• Salt and, obviously, sugar, should be removed from your kitchen. The only truly Paleo sweetener is raw honey. Coconut meat and water can also be used but regularly adding sweeteners is not recommended.
• For drinks, water is the only really Paleo approved beverage. Herb teas and green tea (organic) can be used. Your water needs to be from unpolluted springs.
• Alcohol is generally not part of a Paleo diet. Most Hunter-Gatherers didn’t ferment or distill fruit juices though some may have kept wild grape juices in skin flasks until it became fermented. Depending on their availability, Paleo people may of chewed on cannabis or cocoa leaves for recreational or spiritual purposes.

But what do real, 21st century people have to say about switching to the Paleo Diet?

Mark Sisson says: "I have been on the paleo lifestyle since the beginning of the year. I love it and with being a college student I needed something that would keep me on the go while still being easy and cheap. Paleo holds it all in every aspect. I have tried some but my favorites are paleo pancakes, and paleo cookies, I don't cook a lot so these were really easy and delicious!"

Nessie @ lasting-weight-loss.com/index.html March 27, 2008 "I’m so pleased to learn that you advocate the Paleo Diet. I have used a Paleolithic diet for over twenty-five years. It’s a good diet for health and it’s a good diet for natural weight loss. It’s the way our species evolved to eat."
