The Essentials Of The Paleolithic Diet

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18TH, 2011

Open Class 5:30pm

Baseball/Softball Class 6:30pm



THE ESSENTIALS OF THE PALEOLITHIC DIET ARE:



Eat none of the following:


  • Grains – including bread, pasta, noodles, wheat (even whole wheat), oats, corn, rice, etc.

  • Beans – including string beans, kidney beans, lentils, peanuts (literally ANY bean)

  • Potatoes

  • Dairy – including milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.

  • Sugar

  • Salt

Eat the following:



  • Meat – chicken, fish, grass-fed beef, turkey, pork, etc.

  • Eggs

  • Fruits and berries

  • Vegetables

  • Nuts and seeds (do not eat peanuts as they are actually a bean OR cashews which are in a family of their own)

  • Healthy oils – coconut oil (raw or to cook with), olive oil (raw ONLY)

It may take some time for your body to adjust to the changes after all the years of destroying it. It’s akin to giving up drugs. There is a detoxification process that often takes place with the huge surge in your vitamin intake and huge decrease in your toxin intake.


Start with breakfast for a few days, as this is the easiest place to start since it is the one meal that is most-often eaten at home and as it tends to be the least Paleolithic meal of the standard 3. For weight loss you will eventually need to reduce your carbohydrate intake, but ignore this initially as most people have high carbohydrate intakes and this can continue for the first few days that you are on this diet. If you reduce too quickly then you may feel unwell. Then, move on to lunch or dinner for a few days and then to all 3 meals. If you work, you will often find it easier to take your lunch to work.
