Paleo Eating Meal: Back to Basics

Posted on Updated on

The growing number of people getting into the Paleo diet is a living testament that it works not just in weight loss but as well in living a healthy life. The diet, also known as the caveman’s diet, is based on the foods consumed by our ancestors. These foods are considered to be ‘real foods’ because they are free from preservatives, additional salt or sugar, and are not processed.

Started in 1985, the Paleo diet has long been practiced both by celebrities and regular people. In a study conducted, it has been found out that people who have existed during the Paleolithic Age are free from inflammatory and debilitating diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and heart diseases mainly because of what they eat. By consuming foods that are similar to what the cavemen have eaten before, it is believed that people could avoid these debilitating diseases too.
What to Eat

The Paleo diet isn’t complicated. It is simply a diet that brings you back to the basics. Imagine the time where advanced food processes and preservatives are not yet existent. The food choices that you can think of for that situation are basically what comprise the Paleo diet. Thus, foods allowed in this diet include meat, seafood, eggs, non-starchy veggies, and fruits. Those that are laden with salt and sugar are not allowed as well as meats from animals that are not grass-fed.

Planning Your Paleo Meal

In contrast with what many people believed, planning out your Paleo meal doesn’t have to consume most hours of your day. Here are some tips on how you could plan out your Paleo meals:

1. Load on meat and fish

Meat and Fish

People who have lived during the Paleolithic Age have a diet comprised mainly of meat. It’s the leading source of energy for them and so it will to you once you follow the caveman diet. When shopping for meat, make sure that they came from animals that have been grass-fed. Also, opt for meat products that are fresh.

2. Skip the grains

grains

It was believed that health problems began to rise when our ancestors started to plant crops such as rice and wheat. Grains are not allowed in the Paleo diet as they are hard to digest and have components that block the absorption of nutrients.

3. Get plenty of produce

Aside from meats, our ancestors pile on a variety of fruits and vegetables. Do the same thing but opt for the organic type.

4. Limit your intake of dairy products

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
The incorporation of dairy products in the Paleo diet has been quite controversial. The cavemen before didn’t keep cows and so, were not consuming dairy products at all. However, research has it that small amounts of dairy products could be good to one’s health.

5. Include healthy sources of fats

Good and bad fats

Fats make up a portion of the Paleo diet. Besides, it’s one of the main sources of energy. However, you need to know that not all sources of fats are healthy. Steer away from fats obtained from processed foods.

It may not be easy to shift your diet into these food sources but gradually incorporating them into your daily meals will eventually help you get used to the Paleo diet.

One of the most common misconceptions of people over the age of 30 is that one could no longer shape his/her body the way he/she wants it to be. This is definitely a myth. A person could lose weight and shape his/her body the way he/she wants to at any age. The key to achieving it is choosing the right training/fitness program. Good thing, there are now fitness programs designed for people in this age group. One of them is the Old School New Body program.

Old School New Body  Review

The Old School New Body program is a fitness program designed for people over the age of 35. It has been created by Steve and Becky Holman. This couple is no longer new in the fitness industry as Steve used to be the editor-in-chief of one of the oldest fitness magazines in the world, the Iron Man magazine. Becky, on the other hand, used to be a contributor for a health column in the same magazine.

Unlike other fitness programs out there, the Old School New Body approaches weight loss and body building in a more realistic way. It doesn’t promise you that you’ll be losing weight and shape your body the way you want it to be in just a couple of days. It emphasizes the value of hard work which is an old school element.

Another thing that sets the Old School New Body program from other fitness programs out there is that it has a trademark protocol that makes it possible for one to lose weight and build muscles without necessarily have to spend hours in the gym or starve one’s self. This trademark protocol is better known as the F4X workout.

F4X Workout: What it is?

The F4X workout is comprise of three (3) steps to help get that shape that you’ve longed for. These steps are as follows:

  1. 1.       Phase 1 (F4X Lean)

The first phase of the F4X workout is the F4X Lean. This phase focuses on weight loss. Regardless of the number of pounds that you wanted to shed, this first phase can help you lose weight. This is a combination of Paleo meal plans and body workout.

  1. 2.       Phase 2 (F4X Shape)

Once you have achieved your desired weight, you can proceed to the second phase. This phase is a combination of weight lifting exercises and alteration in your meal plans. Research has it that building muscles contribute to weight loss. In fact, by gaining sufficient amount of muscles, you could burn fats even if you are sleeping.

  1. 3.       Phase 3 (F4X Build)

The last phase of the F4X workout is optional. You can skip this phase if you’re already contented with how you look. However, if you wanted to build more muscles, then you can opt to go on with this training.  Just like the second phase, this third phase approaches muscle building through varieties of weight lifting exercises and healthy meal plans.
