Example PaleoDieta

paleolithic diet

The paleodieta is a food philosophy that is inspired by the nutritional regime of men lived before agriculture and by farming, about 10, 000 years ago (during the Paleolithic).

The paleodieta is NOT a method accepted by the contemporary scientific community, which considers the system unjustified, unbalanced, poorly applicable and potentially harmful (due to excess of proteins, excess of fats, tendency to ketosis, etc.).

The paleodieta abolishes all foods that fall within the fundamental group II, III and IV, and does not ensure the recommended rations of various nutritional principles (especially carbohydrates and calcium).

Moreover, it predisposes the organism to metabolic acidosis (ketosis) and does not effectively support aerobic sports activities; it is absolutely not recommended in case of pregnancy, lactation and high osteoporotic risk.

Food YES

The paleodieta does not require any kind of calculation, estimation or design. It allows you to eat whenever your appetite develops, as long as only paleo foods are consumed: game, eggs, fish, reptiles, worms, worms, insects, berries, vegetables, fruits (less than vegetables), roots, bulbs, oilseeds etc. More rarely, crustaceans, molluscs, very sweet fruits and honey.

NB . More than muscle tissue (meat), paleodieta suggests to consume mainly offal (liver, heart, stomach, spleen, lungs etc.), bone marrow and blood.

Foods NO

The paleodieta denies the use of food supplements, milk and dairy products, cereals, legumes, salt, sugar, seasoning fats, food additives (or foods that contain them), sweet drinks, preserved and processed foods.

The adaptation of paleodieta to contemporary needs and tastes provides for a greater use of meat (especially white), of peach products and of oil for seasoning.

Example

Employee; practice gym 5 times a week. It does not have any kind of pathology.

DAY 1

As can be seen from the table above, this example of Paleodieta shows the lack of various nutritional principles; among these: carbohydrates, fiber, sodium, potassium, calcium, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate and vitamin E. Cholesterol is excessive. Even the overall energy is not much.

WARNING! Wanting to fully respect the original food style, it would be necessary to remove the seasoning oil and the fruit. This would entail a significant change in nutritional detail, ie a reduction of 15g of lipids, 29.3g of carbohydrates and 245.0kcal.

Obviously, the contribution of fibers, certain salts (eg potassium) and some vitamins (eg vitamin C) would also be affected.
