What You Can and Can’t Eat on the Paleo Diet

I’m posting this because many of you are confused on what’s restricted besides grains. And then there’s basically anything not on the restricted list is what you can eat to have optimal health.

First, here’s what you can eat on the paleo lifestyle:

• Any natural meat(chicken, beef, pork, bison, buffalo, any thing meat…)
•  vegetables(except potato; but some eat it on paleo 2.0)
• Butter(It’s dairy but very nutritious)
• Fruit
• Berries
• Nuts(in moderation)

Here’s what you can’t(or at least shouldn’t) eat:

• No grains(duh! wheat, rice, barely, oats, millet, rye…)
• No dairy(allowed on paleo 2.0. I say almost every dairy except milk is ok in moderation. Milk has lactose[milk sugar])
• No vegetable oil(except coconut oil and olive oil)
• No processed sugar(if so very little, I recommend other sweet substitutes)
• No legumes(peas, peanuts, green beans, beans, lentil, soy including tofu)
• No potatoes(sweet potatoes/yams are ok in my version of the diet)
• No soft drinks(even diet), processed food, candy, sugery chocolate(super dark is ok in moderation)
• No fast food

Alright so that’s  pretty much it. When I saw this list I was like “WHAT, I CANT LIVE WITHOUT THIS!!!” But if you have determination, you can accomplish anything! You’ll soon see and feel the benefits of avoiding the anti-paleo list. Good luck!
