Well, good. Being skeptical is a sign of intelligence. You need more information before you make any decisions. So to start, I’ll tell you the basic idea behind the Paleo diet, the science behind why people lose so much weight on it, and why they’re able to KEEP the weight off.
Then I’ll tell you all about how my new recipe book solves the three main problems with the Paleo diet! (Can’t wait to find out? Click here…)
See, the basic idea behind Paleo is simply this: our bodies are not designed to handle all the stuff we have in our modern diet. Modern man (homo sapiens) has been around for 200,000 years, and for almost all of that time, we didn’t even have farms, let alone grocery stores.
For most of our time on Earth, humans lived as hunter-gatherers, moving from place to place and eating what was available in nature. And that was mostly plants (they’re easy to catch). On a good day you’d snag some fish – less often a bird or some red meat – but for the most part, humans ate plants they found.
I could go through the whole timeline, but I’ll spare you the history lesson and just sum it up:
Do you see where I’m going here? For 3 million, 999 thousand, 999 years our diet consisted mostly of nutritious plants. The idea of eat-whatever-whenever is less than a few hundred years old. White flour (which has zero nutrition and dangerous chemicals by the way), and crazy unnatural things such as high fructose corn syrup and Cheetos and Coco Pops are even more recent (and diabolical).
Grains and dairy… weird? Really? It seems odd to say it with all the talk about milk and calcium and bones, and the food pyramid recommending 9-11 servings of grain a day, but scientists are realizing more and more that grain and dairy cause a whole bunch of digestive and immune system problems. Yes, even whole grains.
Our liver can’t handle the overload and the kidneys have to help out. They get tired. We get tired. We consume so much sugar and carbs that our bodies no longer have to burn stored fat to get energy. Obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue, allergies (inflammation), bloating, insomnia, frequent illnesses, heart disease, even headaches… they’re all signs that beautifully balanced machine that is the human body isn’t working properly. And they’re all modern problems caused by the modern nutrition-poor diet.
So Paleo strives to bring us back in balance by eating foods we’re biologically designed to process. The Paleo diet focuses on eating a variety of vegetables, preferably raw, and going easy on the other stuff, and eliminating or grains and dairy or keeping them to a minimum. Strict Paleo followers completely eliminate dairy, sugar (except from fruit), and all grains, but as I’ll discuss later, there’s some flexibility there depending on your needs.
Paleo is more about health than weight loss actually, but it works anyway. And here’s the reason why:
For the 4.4 million years we were running around hunting and gathering, the body came up with a great idea – if any extra sugars and carbs came along it would store them up for later, when we needed energy to chase down that mastodon or walk for days to better foraging grounds. (Yep, it came up with the fat battery.)
So now, when we have lots of extra carbs and sugar and we don’t chase anything but a deadline, it all gets stored in that fat battery. And never gets used… ever.
So when you go back to a natural Paleo way of eating, you return to your natural balance. Which means your metabolism revs up. What’s more, your pancreas can produce enough insulin to process the small amount of carbs and sugars that occur naturally in food (angry pancreas = diabetes).
Also, your liver can get rid of toxins without stressing out the kidneys. (The liver, by the way, is also responsible for turning protein into energy, and it needs to burn fat to do that, so if it can get down to business instead of trying to figure out how to process your Sugar Frosted Chocolate Pop Tart it would really appreciate it).
You stop adding to the fat battery AND your body is forced to start using that stored fat for complex processes like brain functions and breaking down proteins. See? No calorie counting or weighing every morsel or Zumba (though you can if you want, it’s great for you), no meetings or frozen “health” foods. No crying. Just a different way of thinking about food. Do that, and the fat will melt away-I promise. Stick to it, and you’ll never be fat again. It’s that simple.
(I know some of you are nervously wondering about bread and pasta right now, but just stick with me here and we’ll get to that…)
As I’m sure you can see by now,The Paleo diet isn’t just a great way to lose weight. It’s also a great way to ensure a proper balance of nutrients. Here are just a few of the health benefits you’ll get in addition to losing that all that fat:
