Paleo Diet Guidelines:

A meal component is ‘Paleo’ if it contains:

  • Meats/Eggs, Vegetables, Nuts/Seeds, Fruit
  • If it used to have a soul and a face, or grows out of the ground eat it

 

 

Eat as much as you want/can of these foods:

  • A variety of quality meat, fatty meats, organ meats, fish and seafood, eggs
  • Dark leafy green vegetables
  • Learn your spices & herbs to make your food taste amazing and avoid boredom

 

 

Moderate these:

  • Save starchy vegetables (sweet potato, roots, tubers, squashes) and fruits (best are berries) for post-workout
  • Moderate nuts and seeds

 

 

Use these oils to cook with: animal fats (tallow, ghee, suet), coconut oil, palm oil;

Use these oils as toppings (don’t cook with): olive oil, nut oils

Make sure you’re getting enough protein (1g/lb bodyweight per day) and eat to satiety

Avoid packaged foods (make it yourself!)

Read the label/ask your server!

These foods are prohibited:

  • Grains, breads, legumes, cereals, rice, dairy products (OPTIONAL)
  • Alcohol
  • Sugars, artificial sweeteners (agave, cane juice, molasses, etc.)
  • Protein powders

  1. So during this Paleo challenge, if we don’t put our equipment away – we should bring a variety of quality meat or leafy green vegetables – instead of beer. Just a suggestion – since alcohol is prohibited.

    • no, better to bring beer–and make the whole gym do burpees
