“Paleo” diets are a relatively new entry into the diet world. They encourage you to
eat as your Paleolithic ancestors did, thousands of years before the advent of
agriculture. Following a paleo diet means eating anything that an early human
could have found or hunted down—greens, root vegetables, berries and fruits, nuts, seeds, meat, birds, and fish—and staying away from processed grains, milk and dairy foods, refined sugar, processed foods and oils, and salt.
However, a “hunter” paleo approach that recommends you eat a lot of red meat isn’t good for your long-term health and is not recommended in the 2015 - 2020 guidelines provided by the USDA. A good practice would be to consume white meat to fulfill your requirements of Essential Amino Acids (EAA's). Want to know the difference between different types of protein? Stay tuned as I will be explaining it in my future posts.
