Paleolithic Diet: How To Make It Happen (before going to the endocrinologist)


The Paleo diet is the only that instead of being created by a physician, was created by nature.

That is the Paleo Diet

Over millions of years had to hunt and gather to eat. Although the body of our caveman ancestors is like ours, their diet was replaced by bread, rice, other cereals and sugar, since agriculture was invented a few thousand years ago.

Human warm areas are black against the sun. It is undeniable that our body is adapted to the environment and likely to food. Our body is designed by evolution to eat food from the Paleolithic Diet or Paleo Diet.

What foods are allowed in the Paleo Diet

It is a diet based on these protein-rich foods, these good fats that do not get fat and fiber.

Benefits of the Paleo Diet

Thanks to its high protein content is easier to control appetite. Anxiety attacks diminish three days after replacing foods that increase appetite (these carbohydrates) proteins that remove hunger.

Men are more easily adapted to the Paleo Diet because allowed to eat meat, while carbohydrates are exhausted. Another advantage is that we have about theDrLudwigJohnson, one of the greatest experts.

It is definitely very healthy for fattening because of insulin resistance or other hormonal cause. Also for those with cholesterol and triglycerides. More often there is a hormonal cause when these symptoms occur:

You have warts on your neck?
You have gases and inflamed stomach?
Your index finger is shorter than your 4th finger?
You have hair loss, greasy roots?
You wake up not hungry but feel anxiety at 4:30 PM?
dietaSi have several of these symptoms use this calculator to alert diets which diet suits you.

Disadvantages of Paleo Diet

Correctly it recommended to have more contact with the ground to imitate the lifestyle of the cave but some followers of the Paleo Diet oppose use the necessary progress of civilization. Eg advise against using the toilet and defecate stopped for more efficient evacuation.

Another disadvantage is the refusal to use this trick home to remove the lactose in milk. All adults gradually lose the ability to digest milk sugar (lactose). From the age of 25 often feel swollen stomach gases and 6-8 hours after drinking milk.

Although genetically we are not designed to digest milk sugar (lactose) are other components of milk if they are beneficial. So all physicians who follow the Paleo Diet will recommend whey protein to their patients who need extra help to control anxiety for sweets.

Paleo Diet Menu

In the menu on the Paleo diet you can eat all the food that has been hunted as meat and fish. Also they have been harvested, such as eggs, nuts, herbs, vegetables, fruits and seeds. drinks available in the Paleolithic era, such as water and tea are recommended. They are not permitted alcoholic beverages and fermentation was a modern discovery.

This article is the practical conclusion of the last to have published, in which we learned that:

Obesity is a problem that many factors are involved, the most important genetic and food. Weight loss has nothing to do with consumed and calories expended.
The factor that we can control more easily is diet. Specifically how our diet affects our insulin levels.

Knowing this we can lose weight without starving following a few simple guidelines discussed below. I want this article to be fairly summarized and direct, if you want more information about why insulin is the most important click here to read it in another window factor.

For people who want to lose weight consistently and are not satisfied with traditional diets. This method is a low-carbohydrate diet that allows eating the amounts you want. Without the restrictions of traditional diets, with this method you can eat without worry and lose weight effortlessly.

These are guidelines that can be followed from start to lose weight and, in order of importance, then explain each one with a little more detail:

1. Eat a low-carb diet: eat meat, fish, eggs and vegetables. Evita: pasta, bread or any other food made with flour; rice, cereals, soft drinks, juices, fruit, oatmeal and nuts.
2. Eat your fill.
3. Try to eat a maximum of 3 times a day
4. If you're hungry between meals eat, but food allowed.
5. Make muscular exercise short but very intense 1 time per week (optional)

As we see there are some points that do not match at all with the paleo diet, for example avoid fruit and nuts, but we are looking for the drop in guaranteed weight below I explain how to reconcile the two styles.

With these simple steps we make sure we reduce our body fat, as you can see the exercise is not required since it is just a bonus that will be explained later. I now proceed to give a little more detail of each:

1. Low Carb Diet

In principle and to ensure the weight down also eliminate legumes, potatoes, root vegetables, dairy products and nuts. When you're already losing weight consistently or whether you're at your ideal weight can try adding these foods slowly and see how they affect your weight (if you want to do, read no strict paleo). Also about fruits and nuts. If reintroduce these foods reminded to be casual and not the basis of your diet, such as vegetables only 1 time a week, nuts no more than a handful a day, fruit no more than 1 part per day.

2. Eat your fill

By this I mean you eat until you find yourself satisfied and without boots. You can eat the amount you want as they are not eating carbs you do not you will cause an insulin response. In my experience there are cases where the person is very sensitive to carbohydrates and prove to moderate quantities, or even reduce the vegetables but usually you can eat if a strict limit.

3. Try to eat a maximum of 3 times a day

Digestion periods in which insulin rises are periods favoring fat accumulation also preferably used as the nutrient energy in these periods is glucose. However once again lower the levels of insulin and until you return to eating increases the use of fat as an energy source. For this reason it is that the meals are quite spaced out over time.

4. If you're hungry between meals eat, but food allowed.

Search foods to which you can turn easily between hours and adapt to your new diet. In my case I found that canned sardines or tuna in olive oil are very satisfying and practices.

5. Make intense muscular exercise once a week (optional)

With this you get that part of the carbohydrates you ingest end up stored as muscle glycogen rather than as fat. It seeks to drain these reserves with low reps exercises but a lot of weight. Try searching for muscular failure, you can no longer do more repetitions of the exercise and exercise large muscle groups, for example to shoulder press, chest press, rowing and squats.

"Monkey" sugar

Finally comment that there is evidence that sugar causes a stimulus in the same brain receptors that substances such as cocaine, nicotine or heroin. It is a substance that creates a certain addiction so when you stop taking it you may notice that something is missing or you need something sweet. This is normal and may disappear within a few weeks or may take months.


The best practice in my opinion is completely cut but who may be convenient for you to go down the amounts gradually or indulge occasionally. But beware because that spoiled once in a while the end may become an everyday slowing our progress.
