Paleo Diet Information

The Paleo Diet is also referred to as the caveman diet

, Stone Age diet, hunter-gatherer diet or Paleolithic diet or Primal diet - basically it refers to eating foods that humans ate a long time ago before all the processed and pre-packaged foods that we eat now. Paleo Diet recipes basically reject refined sugars, processed oils, dairy products and overly processed grains in favor of lean meats and organically grown fruits, vegetables, roots, nuts and berries. The Paleo Diet is used for many with Gluten allergies as well as for those who want to lose weight and those who just want to maintain a healthier diet. The Paleo Diet was first made popular in the mid 1970s by Walter L. Voegtlin, a gastroenterologist and has been adapted and adjusted over the years by a variety of authors, nutritionists and journalists. Proponents argue that those modern day populations that adhere to a diet substantially similar to one which our ancestors used (and to which we are genetically adapted) seem to exhibit lower instances of disease and other ailments than populations that eat a diet consisting largely of "modern" foods and substances. Critics argue that the reduced numbers of diseases are due more to the reduced calories and active lifestyle of those on the Paleo diet rather than to the types of foods eaten.

However, it is difficult to imagine that foods that are closer to nature, and that are purer in form could possibly be less healthy than the over-processed highly chemical foods that many people eat today. And while many claim that the Paleo Diet is sim0ply another fad diet, it's been around for over 40 years, which seems to show it is more a way of life than just a passing fad.

One thing to note - the Paleo Diet is heavy on the protein, so if you have kidney issues, it may not be the best choice. For those with kidney issues I recommend a Kidney Diet. You can modify the Paleo Diet once you have your kidney issues under control, but you don't want to over-stress your kidneys with the added protein of the Paleo Diet. Also be sure to talk with your doctor or nutritionist if you have health issues that may be affected by the Paleo Diet or any dietary change.

So if you or someone you know suffers from sluggishness, gluten issues, being overweight, or other health issues, you may find that a return to your roots with Paleo Diet recipes is just the thing to bring your body back in balance.
