Associated with weight loss when considered carefully, the Paleo approach is popular with new year dieters keen to shed some winter weight.
If you’ve put on some pounds over Christmas, combining a Paleo food plan with regular exercise can give you the January boost you need, but it’s not always easy to get started if you’re inexperienced in this diet inspired by our cave dwelling ancestors.
UK wintertime is an ideal season for a Paleo snack plate. Fresh fruits like apples and pears are still in season, and nutritious nuts are common Christmas carryovers in many homes. Many people confuse paleo and raw diets, but unknown to some, those selecting a Palaeolithic menu can enjoy cooked delights. While beans, grains and legumes aren’t allowed, you can treat yourself to savoury breakfast delights like steak, eggs and bacon, or healthy plates of salmon with vegetables.
Paleo plans are an excellent way to cut the junk out of your diet. As it mimics the eating habits of people in the past, paleo discards processed foods allowing those who adopt it to easily sidestep artificial flavourings, enhancers, additives, sweeteners and colouring. It also naturally emphasises the consumption of more organic and sustainable food choices that are high in fibre, low in sodium, sugar and simple carbohydrates.
