What Are The Best Foods To Include In Your Paleo Diet Plan?


Just like any other diet plan, Paleo diet might appear to be bland and almost-impossible-to-follow on the surface, precisely because of the fact that it needs you to abide by many restrictions.
But there is a basic mantra to add zing to the Paleo diet. These include:
  • Keeping a comprehensive ‘Foods to eat’ list handy while planning meals
  • Keeping some cooking tips  handy and employing them to churn out exotic dishes.
  • Experimenting with the ingredients.
Before you get to the last two in the list, you need to figure out the first! So here’s helping you identify the foods to eat while you are on the Paleo diet!

Having eggs (poultry, duck or goose) is allowed on Paleo diet.

Fruits and Veggies    

Fruits and veggies are rich in antioxidants, phytonutrients, essential vitamins and minerals which are likely to reduce the chance of developing a number of degenerative diseases like neurological decline, diabetes and cancer. However, when you are on the Paleo diet, avoid having vegetables and fruits high on starch  (potatoes and squashes, for example). You can have:
  1. Asparagus
  2. Avocado
  3. Artichoke hearts
  4. Carrots
  5. Spinach
  6. Celery
  7. Broccoli
  8. Cauliflower
  9. Cabbage
  10. Zucchini
  11. Peppers (All Kinds)
  12. Parsley
  13. Eggplant
  14. Green Onions

FATS

Try to include the sources of “good” fats in your diet. Consider having:
  1. Coconut oil/milk
  2. Olive oil
  3. Macadamia oil
  4. Walnut oil
  5. Avocado oil
  6. Hazelnut oil

Drinks


Paleo diet does not allow you to have any sort of aerated beverages or alcohol, but you get to choose from an array of drink options. You can choose from:
  1. Herbal teas (like chamomile, peppermint, nettle, or ginger)
  2. Coconut water
  3. Juice squeezed from fresh fruits and vegetables (unsweetened, preferably prepared from organic produce)

Flavorings


To make your recipes tastier, you can incorporate flavorings such as:
  1. Natural herbs
  2. Vinegar
  3. Unsweetened applesauce
Though Paleo diet primarily requires you to have lots of meat and fish, experts have also come up with special Paleo diet Plans for vegetarians . Also, the diet plan, when coupled with some specific work outs , can give you better results.

Once you start the diet, continue it for at least 30 days to experience the changes that Paleo diet promises to bring about.
