CHAPTER 3: IS IT ALL IT’S CRACKED UP
TO BE?
The Paleo diet has become more popular due to all of the health benefits of it. If you are thinking about going on this diet yourself, there are a lot of reasons to seriously consider it. This can become a way of life that can make you healthy and really change your outlook on food!
Benefits of Going Paleo
Weight Loss
Losing weight is hard for most people because they are either going on crazy diets or they are simply eating foods that aren't good for them. The Paleo diet can help you lose weight because the foods you will be eating are healthy and good for you! These can help you cut out fats and calories that you just don't need. This will result in weight loss that doesn't come from you starving or having to give up eating foods you enjoy. Most people continuously lose weight while on this diet because it's so healthy and easy to stick with.
Energy
Have you ever felt really tired and lethargic after eating a big meal full of carbohydrates and fats? Fast foods and unhealthy meals can make you feel terrible because they don't have anything good for you inside of them. By changing the foods you eat to those that are healthy, you will have more energy overall and feel great each day! Getting the proper vitamins and nutrients in your diet can make a huge difference with the way you feel and really help you get extra energy you have been lacking.
Nutrition
When eating a diet of junk food, candy, sugar, carbs and other bad foods it's difficult to get the proper vitamins and nutrients that are essential for a healthy body. When you switch to the Paleo way of life you will easily be able to get the nutrients that you need. All of the foods you eat will be packed full of things like fiber, vitamin a, vitamin c and other nutrients that are great for your body. When you have better nutrition in your life you will feel better and look better!
Allergies
The junk foods that people eat today are packed full of toxic ingredients that can easily hurt the body. For example, gluten intolerance is one of the biggest problems most people have today. The Paleo diet will make it possible to eat good food without having to worry about food allergens. Of course you should pay attention to what you eat if you are sensitive to certain things, but you won't have to deal with any chemicals or hidden toxins.
Recipes
There are a lot of different recipes you can make for the Paleo diet. These are easy to find and they taste great as well. These can help you find new foods that you enjoy eating and that are really good for you. When you aren't starving yourself or feeling deprived it will be easy to eat healthy and change the way you eat on a daily basis.
All of these benefits are worth considering if you want to change your eating habits and your health. The Paleo way of life is easy to adopt and can make you feel great from day one.
