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





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
