There are some foods that must be
avoided when taking advantage of this
Paleo diet. These foods include ones that
clearly were not around back in the days
of the caveman.
There were no procedures involving
cultivating dairy products from animals
in the Paleo era. This is because they
weren’t being domesticated at this point
in time.
There’s also the problem with dairy
items on today’s market being subjected
to all sorts of abuses.
The concern about grains is that they can
contain gluten, a substance that is known
to keep the body’s digestive system from
working properly. There is also the
concern about how a majority of grains
in today’s society have been heavily
altered with additives to get them all
growing right.
Sugars can be harmful because they will
slow down the body’s ability to take
advantage of its weight loss functions.
They may even contain artificial
materials that can weaken cells around
the body. It’s especially the case for
sugar substitutes that supposedly give
you the taste of sugar without all of the
health issues that come with actual
sugar.
Trans fats are dangerous because they
can be found in many foods that have
been heated up to the point where
molecules around their bodies will be
changed to where the fats are going to
cause damages to cells around the body.
Legumes like peas, beans and peanuts
can also be harmful. They can prevent
the body from absorbing critical
nutrients. They might also disrupt the
body’s digestive system just like grains
can. You have to avoid these in this diet.
As mentioned earlier, fish are good for
the Paleo diet. However, farmed fish are
dangerous. Farmed fish are ones that
were prepared in a farming environment
where people commercially raise fish
and treat them with different nutrients
and substances in order to get them to
spawn faster than what they might do
while in the wild.
You have to be cautious when using
different drinks on the diet. You have to
avoid sugary drinks and drinks with
sodium in them. These will end up
causing bloating and fatigue.
It’s especially important to avoid
alcohol during the diet.
While it is true that some oils can work
while on the diet, there are also some
oils that can prove to be dangerous on it.
You need to avoid oils like sunflower
oil, peanut oil, canola oil, soybean oil
and even corn oil. Margarine and some
shortening products like Crisco also
have to be avoided while on the diet.
You particularly need to avoid any kind
of “meal replacement” food when getting
on the diet. This can include something
like a nutritional shake.
It’s true that these shakes and other
replacement fluids can help you get
nutrients. However, they also contain
enzymes that might be hard for the body
to use.
Therefore, you clearly
have to avoid these foods if you want to
actually get some kind of weight loss
result out of your diet. This is in spite of
the promises you’d hear when seeing
what benefits you could be getting out of
your meal.
Now that you know what you should and
shouldn’t be eating, you can get started
on the next part of having success on the
diet. This includes being as active as
you can be.
