Make Natural Meals With The Paleo Diet

By Andrew Simpson


Back in the ages when the average human had to catch a fish and then worry about fighting away a saber-tooth tiger for his dinner, the medical complications that plague modern society were unheard of. Obesity, heart diseases, diabetes, indigestion, hemorrhoids, and other medical complications are a direct result of the poor diet of modern humans. If you want to eliminate fat and health concerns, choose the food that our forefathers did.

Today's processed foods are just about the worst things that a person can put into their body. Most are based off of sugary syrups, most notably corn syrups, that are practically impossible for your metabolism to digest. As a result, each time you drink a can of soda you pack on the syrup in the form of fat.

By consuming artificial ingredients, furthermore, you never know exactly what it is you are eating. Industrial solvents and solutions can be applied to any food so long as it is called an artificial ingredient, without any way of the consumer knowing exactly what they are putting into their body.

If you have been eating processed foods all of your life and want a solution to the fat growing about your stomach and waist, you need only do what our ancestors did and find foods that occur naturally in the world. Making a commitment to the Paleo Diet is a sure-fire way to eliminate fat stored up from a lifetime of unhealthy choices.

Before humans were able to grow wheat and corn and barley and rice, we relied on whatever food we could find in the forests and coasts and mountains that we travailed. Our ancestors had to hunt and gather for our food, going out each day in order to bring back a meal that their family unit could share. What was the result of hunting and gathering?

Nearly every food option you look at has one of these processed nightmares. Soda, for instance, is effectively a can or bottle full of pure sugar. Artificial foods like peanut butter have so much oil that they can disrupt the entire process of metabolizing a meal. Preservatives used in foods tend to be more sugar or salt on top of the food itself.

The major limitations on the Paleo Diet are the foods that are manufactured in laboratories rather than on farms. Since mankind did not domesticate any animals in the Stone Age, dairy products are off the menu, though you can use substitutions like coconut milk for many of your favorite treats. The oils and syrups that plague modern meals are eliminated.

This is the great advantage of the Paleo Diet. Ten thousand years ago, someone who caught a fish or nabbed some eggs or brought back a cauliflower plant to the tribe would have eaten it and enjoyed every bit of nutrition. Today, we eat potato chips that contain no nutrition at all.

There are so many options available in the Paleo diet that it is easier to tell you what is not available. The syrups and grains and sugars that comprise so much of the "fast food" diet are off limits, since in the Stone Age nobody has heard of cupcakes with no-touch frosting.

Eliminating the oils and sugars of modern diets goes a long way towards burning off fat. Once your body is no longer taking in these artificial ingredients, your metabolism no longer stores nutrition in fat cells but will burn it up as it goes. The increased rate of metabolism, in turn, requires your existing body fat to power homeostasis.

Your body burns fat when it needs energy. The Paleo diet provides quality energy in the form of lean proteins like chicken, but will cause your body to burn fat to complement a meal since it is no longer getting the cheap energy from breads or sugars.

The Paleo Diet can be for everyone, even vegetarians and vegans, since it offers choices that appeal to all tastes and preferences. If you have been frustrated by diets before, do not change how much you eat, change how much good food you eat.
