Daily Paleo Plan:
The decision has been made, I will officially begin the Paleo Diet on Thursday, March 11! The Paleo Diet is a nutritional plan based on the presumed diet of wild plants and animals consumed by early humans. Simply put, the diet allows for most fruits and vegetables, lean meats, eggs, seafood, oils, nuts, and seeds. It completely restricts dairy, grains, grain like seeds, legumes, starchy vegetables, fatty meats, processed foods, and of course, sugar.

To help stay motivated and learn more about the foods that make this diet so powerful, I organized a little research project. Each night, I will research a different food that is encouraged by the Paleo Diet. I broke it up into four groups of seven foods/topics. I will devote one week to each of the four topics (Vegetables, Fruits, Fats, Protein).

Week 1: Carbohydrates - Vegetables
Leafy Greens, Bell Peppers, Asparagus, Onions, Carrots, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts
Week 2: Carbohydrates - Fruits
Apples, Kiwi, Grapefruit, Berries, Guava, Dried Fruits, Bananas
Week 3: Fats
Avocados, Oils, MUFA's vs. PUFA's, Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids, Saturated Fat, Nuts, Seeds
Week 4: Proteins
Red Meat, Chicken, Eggs, Salmon, Shellfish, Tuna, Lunch Meat
