Going Paleo: A Quick Start Guide for a Gluten-Free Diet
Diets & Weight Loss > Paleo
Author: Amelia Simons
Have you found yourself overwhelmed with wondering how to begin eating a grain free, gluten-free diet? Well, you are not alone. I totally understand. There has been a great deal of interest and information lately about eliminating grains and gluten from our diet and it can be overwhelming when you first begin researching. With so many books and websites on the topic of low-carb eating, too, trying to adopt a paleo lifestyle can find you full of questions.
The paleolithic way of eating includes various names like: Primal Diet, Paleo Diet (TM) , Cave Man Diet, Stone Age Diet, Hunter-Gatherer Diet, and a few others. Basically, this lifestyle consists of a low-carb, high protein diet that attempts to imitate much of what our ancestors ate before farming and other advancements changed our food choices. While we cannot replicate all that they ate and how they prepared their foods, focusing on healthy meats, fish, seafood, vegetables, fruits, good fats, nuts, and seeds is proving to pay off in big dividends in the health and well being of individuals who adopt this plan.
