ALL ABOUT PALEO
WHAT IS PALEO?
The paleo diet is a diet that mimics the one of our ancestors, essentially they ate anything that could be
hunted or gathered. The diet is based on very simple principles — to eat a diet that is rich in nutrient-
dense whole foods and to eliminate processed, refined and nutrient poor foods.

Since paleo is viewed more as a lifestyle than a diet, sustainability is an important component. This means
you should eat in a way that you can commit to and maintain for the rest of your life.

The paleo lifestyle also focuses on the quality of the foods you consume and eating a wide variety of foods
to maximize the diversity of micronutrients you consume.
