It’s so easy a caveman could do it! The Paleo Diet, also known as The Caveman Diet, is bringing back eating habits from 10,000 years ago. For the next month, I am going paleo, so why don’t you join me? Yes? Ok! Now what is this crazy diet exactly…
The Paleo Diet is based on one simple rule: If the caveman ate it, then so can you. Now that does not leave much to choose from, so it does require some creativity. There’s meat, beans (almost all), nuts, berries, fruits and vegetables to choose from. This means no grains, dairy, and of course nothing processed. You can find more details on the diet at The Paleo Diet Solution’s website.
Good news for chocoholics, dark chocolate is allowed, in moderation of course. However, not much else is. So, go ahead and make that salad, but use none of those dressings you can buy at the store; olive oil and vinegar only.
Here is a delicious, paleo-friendly chili I made last night: I browned some ground turkey meat with onion and then tossed it in with a can of garbanzo beans, black beans and diced tomatoes. Add in a few spices, and maybe a little hot sauce, and you’ve got a meal!
