In today's day and age, we are bombarded with processed foods and unhealthy choices. It is no wonder that weight gain and obesity is an epidemic of huge proportions considering the modern foods that are everywhere we turn these days. The Paleo diet focuses on the types of foods that we consumed by our ancestors prior to the Agricultural Revolution. By the way, this way of eating worked for our ancestors for thousands and thousands of years. The foods that were consumed by them, meats & seafood, fresh fruits and vegies are high in the beneficial nutrients (soluble fiber, antioxidant vitamins, phytochemicals, omega-3 and monounsaturated fats, and low-glycemic carbohydrates) that promote good health. Additionally, they are low in the bad elements of the food & nutrient triangles such as refined sugars, trans fats, salt, grains, carbs that are high-glycemic and process foods. These bad foods are the culprits that, in many instances, are to blame for weight gain, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and numerous other health problems. The Paleo Diet suggests that people make replacements from dairy and grain products to a healthier option of fresh fruits and vegetables. These better food choices are more nutritious than whole grains or dairy products.
