PALEO DIET GUIDELINES:
As a simple explanation we define a Paleo Diet as eating
meat, nuts, veggies, seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar, no dairy, no processed/refined foods.
A Paleo recommended serving consists of 40% carbohydrate, 30% Protein, and 30%
Fat. This is a starting point that is dependent on an individual's specific
needs or goals
YES FOODS:
Lean Meat
Lean poultry
Eggs
Other meats including organ meats and game meats such as
venison, wild boar, or wild turkey
Fish
Shellfish
Fruit
Vegetables
Nuts- Tree Nuts Only. Peanuts are legumes and are a no-no
Seeds

Meats such as Lean beef (trimmed of visible fat), Flank
steak, Top Sirloin, Extra-lean hamburger (90/10), Lean pork (trimmed of visible
fat), Pork loin, Pork chops, Any other lean cut.
Lean poultry (white meat, skin removed) such as Chicken

Red Wine- Paleo says that 1 glass of wine (6 oz.) a night is
legal. We are pretty sure cave men had vineyards! Anything more than one glass

Anything over one per night is a cheat.
