CONCLUSION – START TODAY

As we conclude this guide we must remember that the Paleo diet is a consumption plan designed to replicate the nutritional habits of humans' hunter-gatherer ancestors.

It is based on the principle that human beings might attain better health and optimal weight by avoiding diets high in carbohydrates and sugar and instead eating a lot of lean meats, fish, fruits and vegetables. Below are 6 tips to help you start the Paleo diet today:

1. Awareness

You get a pretty excellent idea of what the Paleo diet is all about by researching on the internet, books, journals or joining Paleo groups in the different social networking sites such as Facebook, twitter and meetuip.com. You should know which foods the Paleo diet avoids also. Advocates of the Paleo diet believe that there is a direct association between the increasing prevalence of several chronic diseases, like obesity, diabetes as well as heart disease, with the increasing intake of carbohydrates and sugar. Advocates recommend eating a diet like that of our hunter-gatherer ancestors where foods like sugar, bread, pasta, cereals, dairy products, trans fats and fatty meats were not available as the only way to attain better health.

Moreover, advocates recommend us to keep away from starchy vegetables like corn and potatoes, legumes, peanuts, beans, and every type of fruit juices and sodas.

2. Identify the best Paleo diet foods

A Paleo diet is rich in protein, a nutrient which enhances satiety and increases weight loss better compared to processed carbohydrates. The best Paleo diet foods should incorporate chicken, fish, shellfish, avocados, eggs, nuts, berries, turnips and carrots.

3. Include Paleo diet in your everyday plan

Arrange how you'll include the Paleo diet in your everyday plan. Foods high in carbohydrate, whole grains foods are easily accessible in fast-food cafe and vending machines, however Paleo diet foods are difficult to get. Less Paleo foods are kept in a pantry. Get into the pantry and remove all processed food, such as rice, beans, bread, sugar, cereals, pasta, candy, sodas, cake mixes and potato chips that is kept there. Donate unopened and usable products to local food pantry or either throws it all away or feasts on it for some days to eliminate it. An effective start of the Paleo diet implies scheduling the foods you'll take for breakfast, lunch as well as dinner. In this way, you'll not be prone to reaching for processed foods once hungry.

4. Get ready for the effects of radically reducing carbohydrates intake

People taking a diet rich in carbohydrates might experience a range of consequences when commencing a Paleo diet. It can result to dizziness, tiredness and constipation. Moreover, a Paleo diet might stimulate ketosis, a condition which leads to rapid breakdown of body fat. This might be particularly risky for expectant women and individuals suffering from diabetes.

5. Gradual transition

Slowly shun your processed food intake patterns and substitute them with Paleo diet foods. You can take up even a month. A best way to include this is to avoid purchasing any processed foods once you go to the market.

6. Detox

A best way to start a Paleo diet is to detox your body first. You can simply cleanse your body by taking just water together with lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for a period of between 1-7 days.
