What is the Paleo Diet, benefits and use of this diet, plans, menu recipe for beginners
Benefits of the Paleo diet

First of all, I would like to start this post with greater attention to this "diet".
Paleo is actually not a diet, not being on a diet to lose weight, or starve. It is the diet of the artichoke, and cornet. Many already have seen that it is a lifestyle completely, which leads you to live in health and harmony with your surroundings, your body and with healthier habits.

This post will be very useful for those who are starting, or do not yet know very well the benefits obtained with this form of power. Those who already live Paleo, it will remind you the basics of how to continue with a more in line with what we are eating.

Main benefits of the Paleolithic diet
- You get to have your ideal weight
- You avoid autoimmune diseases
- Gain strength and vitality
- The skin reconstructs and becomes healthier and smoother
- Improved mood
- Helps keep your healthy hormonal cascade
- Increase your sports performance
- Win Power
- Increase your libido
- Boost your immune system
- Improvements in allergies
- Controllers and you prevent diabetes
- Eliminate acne
- We avoid inflammation
and etc.
Many already you may have read / heard that Paleodiet attempts to simulate the form of food that had the man in the Paleolithic. This means that there ate no grains, legumes, processed foods or refined sugars. Nothing obviously pastries or cheese or milk.

Over billions of years, our genes and our own bodies have adapted to supply a form in which fortunately or unfortunately there is no room for cereals us feel good. Even if we are not celiac. There is much information, and I recommend a book worth reading entitled Dangerous Grains: Why Gluten Cereal Grains May Be Hazardous To Your Health

On this basis, if we discard the cereals we are gaining in health and in life besides fat wipe us off.
But surely you might be wondering how it is possible that cereals are so bad when doctors and nutritionists strongly agree they are essential in our diet. Are carbon hydrates healthy! No ?. As this view is mistaken. It is true that function as chelating (removing heavy metals), and contain fiber, but vegetables and fruit compared bring many more nutrients and do not interfere in our health negatively as does the gluten (I recommend you do click the link if you want to know what is gluten and where you are).

So the main benefit, mention the prevention of autoimmune diseases, and getting eliminate that belly fat so harmful, plus unclear aesthetics.

Foods allowed on the Paleo diet
And then what Paleolithic eating?
Here's a list of foods falling within the paleodiet. You will see that there are many vegetables, fruits, vegetables in general as well as meat and fish or seafood, tubers, roots or seeds. It is very comprehensive.

The same day, I take this point to say something that I think is important; I would like to take this obsession of some people who tend to discuss things like: "- But that's not paleo ..." "- If a boat is not paleo ...", "- he take protein powder is not paleo", "- Taking supplements is not paleo "and a long list of" not paleo ".

If we see a food that does not mean it is packaged ingredients unfit for our consumption. Just you have to look at the labels. Avoid preservatives and artificial colors, sulfites, nitrites, added sugar, lactose and derivatives, sunflower, soybean, etc. because, gentlemen, NOTHING IS TODAY PALEO. Even if you have your own garden, away from the world where you have no land nearby in which fumigated with pesticides and will not slip through and leak chemicals. Not even if you have your own animals and you feed them to pasture from birth until they die. This is not real PALEO if we're going to put stringent.
What is clear is that they are privileged to live outside surely all of us, happy, and healthy. But look around you ... what's Paleo? It's just a name, a name that aims to get as close as possible to food to keep us in health. He could have called otherwise but this is what most resembles.

Generally most of us urbanites (some less / more than others), and most buy in the supermarket, do not go out to hunt our prey. We live under a tax schedule, did not get up to the time that indicates the body, but the time you have to go to work ... and if we start from that basis there are many other habits and / or customs, or as we like to call that disrupt and degrade our health daily, at least try our food is better than all this tax schedules.

Keep in mind the concept of a healthy diet paleodiet, which helps you to be in your ideal weight and preventing chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases, allergies and so on.

Paleo diet and sport
What benefits us who practice some kind of sport or we train?
In endless things! You saw the aforementioned table, with major benefits.
We are only to prevent inflammation and help prevent injuries recover. We gain in energy and just have to know how to use this power in a strategic manner. In this post you can read other bases for supplying athletes in paleodiet, where you will see an overview.
Merely eliminating dairy, legumes and cereals makes considerably reduce abdominal fat and increase your health.

What is certain is that depending on your sporting performance, need to nourish more and / or better. For this we make use of supplementation responsible. Here you also have to read the labels well.

I use supplements because certainly the nutrients available foods today are not nearly the same. The meat does not contain so much amount of CLA, or a good relationship of ratio of omega3-omega6 not we source sufficient vitamins such as D, for example, being more "locked" in the office, work etc, which I It seems a good choice to opt for sports supplementation. But not everyone ... we'll talk about it in another post.

You really can do without milk or cereals or legumes and live healthy?
This post is not intended to enter into scientific details, nor is it intended to talk about related studies (blog can be found in the section of case, nutrition, or news releases related thereto) so if you want to inquire more about it reading is essential therefore I recommend a short list.

The basic; Books about the Paleo diet I recommend reading to learn more.

In Spanish:
- Paleovida, Carlos Perez
- Diet Paleo, Robb Wolf
- The Paleolithic diet, Loren Cordain
- Paleodiet sports, Loren Cordain (although this has some rather outdated concepts but great as a base)
- Brain bread, David Perlmutter

In English:
- Dangerous grains, James Braly MD, Ron Hoggan MA and Jonathan Wright
- The Primal Blue Print, Mark Sisson.

In short, what benefits following a paleo food?

I can tell you my experience and that of many others who have had amazing improvements, but I'll tell you mine, lived in first person which undoubtedly me beneficial to be selective, to avoid eating processed 100% even with foods out of season , refined products, artificial flavors, aromas, flavor enhancers and chemical preservatives along with cereal, all those products that our body warns aggressors not identify what we put in our body.

I benefit a natural lifestyle, which rewards the quality of my diet and leads to physical and mental health and wellbeing.

I benefit in staying active, more nimble of mind and body.

Many times I have had "talks" where I had to explain what I eat and how I live my family and friends, but this was only the beginning. Once you have seen the results even ask me curious and interested in being part of it.

It may prove a sacrifice for many, but I compensate me.
I'm better than when taking milk, that when eating cereal when I lived surrounded by sugar ... And only that compensates me everything.

Note that:

- gain muscle mass
- Lose fat
- I'm not bloated
- I'm able to get up at 6.30am to go training before going to work
- I sleep soundly
- My skin looks infinitely better
- I'm flexible
- I'm warning
- I'm active
- Live positively

I do not know about you, but to me this is what gives me life! I own it all and I can safely say that the food does not control to me, I who control it to her and in a natural and positive way. I can live perfectly well without bread, without milk, without putting sugar in his coffee, and I feel totally free for that. Sugars and triggered SANA.

Nobody said it was easy at first. Everything depends on the degree of commitment whatsoever ye give and what your goals are.
Whether for health or aesthetic, started in this lifestyle is a good choice. For all the benefits you get, worth it, believe me.

Eat well, sleep, relax, get active, move and go out to nature. Share this with your loved ones and have a full life.

PALEO it is just a name ... Make it an experience and a lifestyle that will help you be better with yourself and your own environment within your means.

A mammoth hug to all!
