Paleo Diet
By Steven Horne, RH (AHG) & Kimberly Balas, ND
Unlike SCD and GAPS, Paleo is not a set diet. Instead, it's
a philosophy about eating, with several variations. The idea
to eat foods that were traditionally eaten by hunter-gatherer people for thousands of years before modern agriculture
and processed foods.
Strict paleo is grain free, legume free
and dairy free, but as people get healthier there are several variations of Paleo that allow and encourage certain dairy
products.
A great resource for following the Paleo diet is Practical
Paleo by Diane Sanflippo. It explains both the why and the
how of the paleo diet and has 30-day meal plans focused on
a variety of health issues.
The recipes are detailed, tasty and
easy to follow.
For more information on the Paleo diet you can check out
the following
websites: marksdailyapple.com, everydaypaleo.com, lifeasaplate.com and nomnompaleo.com and the following
books:

Another good
resource on eating traditional foods is
Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. Her recommendations are not as strict as other diets, and they include many
delicious recipes with sensible guidelines. It also contains
guidance about eating whole natural foods and includes a
recipe section for making naturally fermented vegetables
and beverages.
