If you’re looking for some of the best paleo recipes that can be used for a wide variety of meals, you’re going to find a ton of great recipe options here. This list of simple meals will help you meal plan for your upcoming dinners.
What can you eat on the Paleo diet?
The Paleo diet is a popular diet plan that you can easily stick to and thrive on. The popularity of the Paleo diet has really increased over the past few years for the fact that it simple and there are thousands of people that it has worked well for.
People often think of it as the “hunters diet” as well because it consists of foods that can be gathered in the wild or the woods.
Is Paleo better than Keto?
This is really going to depend on what you’re feelings are about the two diets. There does seem to be a nice edge to the paleo diet is the fact that it has more options and flexibility than the keto diet.
This means that there are more foods that can be eaten and enjoyed on the paleo diet than on the keto diet.
Can you drink coffee on Paleo?
This is one of the biggest downfalls that people find to this diet plan. The paleo diet doesn’t have the option to add in coffee on a daily basis. (this is why many people will choose keto, too)
However, keep in mind that coffee is only as strong as you let it be. After a few days of cutting out coffee, you might not even want it anymore at all. Fueling your body with other healthy food options is a simple way to fight off the caffeine craving and give your body more nutrients.
How hard is the Paleo diet?
In all reality, it’s really not a hard diet plan to stick to. You get to eat so many great foods that are rich in protein that you don’t have to feel like you’re missing out. This means that you can enjoy meats and nuts and other tasty treats without worrying that you’re missing out on anything at all.
Once you get the hang of it, I think you’ll find this diet plan very simple and easy to do.
