The Paleo Diet

It is ideal for losing weight quickly. Indeed, one is stalled by foods rich in protein and low in fat, which forces the body to draw on its reserves. The muscles are preserved and we are quickly satiated. This is why athletes often go for this approach. It is, however, more difficult to combine with a social life.

THE BASIC PRINCIPLE: FIND THE FOOD OF OUR ANCESTORS!

The agri-food industry offers more and more novelties, both in terms of ingredients and finished products.

Yet our cellular DNA has hardly changed in a million years.

In other words, we have the same genes and function in the same way as our Paleolithic cousins.

From there to assuming that we are not yet adapted to the current food mode, there is only one fork. And a second to admit that feeding as our distant ancestors may improve our concerns of obesity, allergies, chronic fatigue and various disorders ...

We do not count the calories, we do not check the sugar ...

It's a simple diet to follow, provided you do not be addicted to sweet, love meat and resist the temptations of distributors.

Weight loss can be fast enough because the diet is low in carbohydrates. You do not like cooking? This diet is for you because the dishes are simple enough to prepare.

Do you love slicing, chopping, mixing?

With a little daring culinary, you will invent original and paleo-admitted recipes. Finally, this approach has been updated by athletes because it improves endurance, muscle strength and eliminates fat.

IN PRACTICE

The plate is filled mainly with fruits and vegetables, oilseeds, non-fat meat (veal, poultry, lean beef), fish and seafood, seeds (sesame, flax, squash ...) and a little cold pressed oil. Cereals are limited to 2 cs per meal (buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, kamut ..., which are ancestral starchy foods). Wheat, salt, sugar, dairy products, coffee, alcohol, etc., are very severely limited.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE METHOD

This story of genes that have not mutated is disputed by some scientists. As well as the eviction of dairy products. Since this diet excludes many foods, it can be a source of frustration.
