Just 333 generations ago and 2.5 million years ago, everyone followed this type of diet. This meal is perfect for us for weight and health normalization.




What happened and how we did get here?

Agricultural revolution allowed us to abandon forever our previous way of life and caused the transformation of the earth's population into huge, industrial-technological society.

In a modern diet, 24% of calories come from cereals, 11% from dairy products, 18% from processed sugars and 18% from refined oils. These products accounted about 71% of the total calories wich coming into our body every day. The remaining calories about 29% come from meat with high fat content (hot dogs, fatty beef, bacon, sausages). It cannot be called a healthy nutrition.

Eat right: what to eat & what to avoid

It's easy. You don't need to make blocks of products, keep a diary or count calories. Paleo daily eating plan consists of fish, lean meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, seafood and nuts.

Fruits and vegetables:

It is difficult to get 50% of your daily calorie intake from fruits and vegetables, because they have a large volume and low calorie. By eating 2200 calories per day you should have to eat 2kg more fruit and vegetables. People can't consume such a quantity, because there is a limit of cellulose which the body can absorb.

For perfect balance, you should eat fruits and vegetables with each meal with a moderate portion of healthy oils (flax, olive) nuts and seeds.  Vegetables with a high starch content (potatoes, rice) are not allowed in this menu for diet.
