Will the Paleo Diet Lead to Weight Loss? Find Out With Some Weight Loss Tips
You want to lose weight, specifically body fat, but have gone on countless diets.
But what about the paleo diet? The diet that resembles how are hunter-gatherer ancestors ate for tens of thousands of years? Yes.
If you do it correctly.
If you experiment yourself and listen to what your body says.
The paleo diet is not really diet.
Its a way of eating for the rest of your life.
Its advised to go on a strict 30 day challenge in the beginning and then to add neolithic foods back in one at a time.
This does not mean you will add back in all kinds of grains, legumes and dairy products.
Once you start to eat the way your genes want to eat you never consider adding back in grains or legumes.
Some add dairy products.
Most will consume butter since it contains virtually no lactose which is the main problem in dairy products.
The 80/20 rule is also important once your day challenge is up.
You will not want to go through life without consuming another grain or dairy product again.
I personally still eat bread with olive oil or butter once in a blue moon while eating out.
I will never buy it myself but I may grab a slice while dining out.
Its free calories.
Grey Area Foods Chocolate, white rice, potatoes and a few other are grey area foods.
Butter is also a grey area food but generally accepted in the primal and paleo communities.
Chocolate contains a lot of phytic acid which is very problematic.
Phytic acid binds to minerals such as magnesium, calcium and zinc which is why so many people are deficient in these minerals.
I feel fine after in taking a block or 2 of dark chocolate that is in the 70 to 90 percent range but anything more than that and I will begin to feel a little sick.
Nuts and seeds are also somewhat in the grey area.
They are generally accepted but it is advised to limit your consumption.
The two main problems with nuts and seeds is their high phytic acid and omega 6 fatty acid content.
Its best to limit both.
If you are looking for weight loss then you may want to cut our all nuts and seeds and strick to meat, eggs, veggies and some fruit.
Live an All Around Healthy Lifestyle It is virtually impossible to have effective weight loss and keep it off without managing your stress, exercising (this can be just walking more), getting adequate sleep and playing as often as possible.
When you lack sleep you have low energy no matter how great your diet is and you will fail to lose weight.
It is all about the hormone cortisol which lack of sleep and high stress influences in a negative way.
