Paleo "YAY FOOD" List

Click image to enlarge

  

     Here is a list of the food allowed on the Primal or Paleo meal plan. Simply put, eliminate all processed foods and sugars, grains and grain-like seeds (Quinoa, Amaranth...) beans/legumes, dairy, starchy veggies, salt & nitrate containing foods and extra fatty meats.

    Instead, eat a diet rich in lean proteins, lots of vegetables (particularly green ones), nuts, seeds and heart-healthy fats. Some fruit and a little starch to fuel your recovery process. Supplement with inflammation busting Omega-3 fish oils.

    This food pyramid is courtesy of  Castle Grok. A great resource for recipes and further information on living Primal in the modern world.

With all of these options the possibilities are endless :)
