Paleo Diet

Natural & Unprocessed

The Paleo Diet, also known as the caveman diet, is based on the eating patterns of our ancestors from the Paleolithic era. It focuses on whole, unprocessed foods that could be hunted or gathered, such as lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. The diet eliminates processed foods, grains, dairy, and legumes, emphasizing a high-protein, high-fiber intake that supports overall health, digestion, and weight management. The Paleo Diet is popular for its benefits in reducing inflammation, improving metabolic health, and promoting sustainable energy levels without blood sugar spikes.
