8 reasons why you should become paleo ➊ It is based on unprocessed whole foods, which means fewer additives and trans fatty acids and no salt or sugar at all. ➋ It is low in saturated fats and rich in "good fats" to promote better health conditions while reducing your cholesterol levels and other inflammatory phenomena. ➌ It has a low level of salt while being rich in potassium, leading to a lower blood pressure. ➍ It has a large amount of proteins and food fibers, providing you a feeling of fullness and a less desire for short snacks. ➎ It helps you get rid of those extra kilos and regain your healthy weight. ➏ It comes with a low GI (glycemic index), protecting you from sudden blood sugar rises. (click here for more information) ➐ It is rich in phytochemical compounds, which can contribute to the prevention of certain cancer types. ➑ It helps maintain your body ph level. Modern diets involve a massive production of acids, resulting in a loss of calcium and sometimes leading to several adverse health conditions (kidney stones, arthritis, chronic fatigue, headaches, increase in the premenstrual syndrome, cutaneous conditions, etc.). On the contrary, the paleo diet creates a more alkaline environment.
INTRODUCTION
the complete guide of PALEO Congrats! You ve just embarked on a journey that will open doors to a new life within a few weeks. The first step is often the hardest to jump over, but you ve already succeeded! So well done and welcome! An era when obesity was not a problem An era when obesity was not a problem, and an era when such a countless number of health conditions were moreover unknown. Studies conducted on our ancestors skeletons strongly testify this fact. But you may probably oppose to this and say that the life expectancy of our ancestors was however much lower than ours? In fact, recent studies have concluded that during the early years of strong infant mortality, the life expectancy of a Cro-Magnon adult was to some extent, identical to that of a seventeenth century Frenchman, despite the particularly hostile environment. Today, our environment is far less hostile and our life expectancy is steadily increasing, only with the exception of increasingly adverse health conditions. Let us now try and understand what exactly has changed. www.thefrenchpaleo.com [ 9 ] The complete guide of PALEO
Our DNA has remained unchanged for more than 40 000 years. Scientific research has shown that it corresponds to that of our Paleo ancestors who have been exercising on hunting, gathering and fishing to procure their main food supply. Their diets have included fruits and fresh vegetables, fresh meats or fish. None of the following foods were consumed for millions of years: Dairy products (6000 years BC) Grains (10 000 years BC) Salt (10 000 years BC) Sugar (4th century BC) Potatoes (after 1750) Pesticides (after 1930) Additives (after 1950) Soft foods (after 1960) 10 000 years ago, with the outbreak of the agricultural revolution, our nutritional habits were entirely disrupted with the subsequent introduction of new products such as grains, dairy products, refined sugars, salt, processed products These products do not naturally comply with the mankind, nor are our genes accommodated to the assimilation of these types of food by our body and the consequences are doubtlessly distressing. As a result, the modern man is currently suffering from a growing obesity epidemic along with a rapid development of chronic diseases, which are particularly found to be increasing among youth Is there really an effective solution to this chronic problem? The best solution would be to combat the root cause of this problem before remedying its consequences as is done by expensive modern medicine claiming to have reinforcing medications. And the root cause of this problem lies right on our plates; they are modern and industrial food! Settling on the paleo diet could at first turn out to be a little difficult. How many people do you think come to tell me that they are better off with this or that food (bread, cheese or pastas) and that there is no way they would do without it. But believe me, with a little motivation and a strong desire to actually see yourself finally being physically fit or to considerably reduce many of your health problems from which you ve been suffering for years; you are certain to be capable of doing so. But if you still have doubts about it, motivate yourself by reading the success stories of those who ve been following the Paleo diet for years and would turn back for nothing else (read their success stories). www.thefrenchpaleo.com [ 10 ] The complete guide of PALEO
It is highly recommended that you should strictly follow this Paleo diet over a dietary period of at least thirty days, in order to remove harmful toxins stored in your body and to re-configure your body s biochemical functioning. This transitional period will help you break away from most of your bad habits. If junk food, factory feedstuffs and sweets or slow-burning sugars are usually found on you plate, your first days could certainly turn out to be rather difficult. Even if you ve judged yourself to have quite a healthy balanced diet so far, you will soon realize that the Paleo diet switchover isn t so easy at the beginning. In fact, you ll see we are totally addicted to sugar, bad fats and several other hidden substances! Hence, your start off may prove to be a little difficult but some of you will surely reap its benefits within the first couple of days of the diet, while others will take more time. However, in all cases, if you hold onto it, you certainly won't regret it. www.thefrenchpaleo.com [ 11 ] The complete guide of PALEO
