The theory is that the caveman diet was more ‘organic’ than our modern eating habits. Stoneage man didn't eat cakes or chips or burgers; they were hunter-gatherers and ate what the human body was designed to eat. It is thought that as a result there were fewer incidences of degenerative disease - arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease. Stoneage people were fit and healthy, and if they died young, it was not because of disease but rather due to accidents and a harsh environment. The ‘natural eating’ of the paleo diet is said to improve the body’s performance. It is only because of the availability of processed and fat filled, carb based foods that we are experiencing the current obesity epidemic. How Much Weight Could I Lose on a Paleolithic Diet? We know that to lose weight we must burn more calories than we take in, and that the best way to accomplish this is to eat a low-fat, healthy, balanced diet. However, with many restrictive diets we are hungry all the time, and for the vast majority, any weight lost is regained rapidly or within a few months of the initial loss. Because the Paleo diet emulates what our ancestors ate, you get a high protein, high fruit and vegetable diet with moderate amounts of fat, but with high quantities of healthful omega-3 and monounsaturated fats. Protein is believed to have a greater thermic effect than either fat or carbohydrate, meaning that it boosts your metabolism, speeding weight loss. Additionally, protein makes you feel full up – more so than either fat or carbohydrate, so it puts the brakes on your appetite. Weight loss may be rapid in the first few weeks, due to the low quantities of carbs consumed and the water that is expelled from your body. There are associated side effects such as lethargy, headaches and bad breath.Pros of The Paleo Diet · Emphasizes fruit and vegetables which may reduce the risk of developing many diseases and disorders such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. · Intake of essential fatty acids will be high on this diet. · May be beneficial for dieters who have difficulty with carbohydrate cravings and those watching blood sugar levels. · Does not require counting or measuring. · Does not require any specialist diet foods · No exercise plan is needed Cons of The Paleo Diet · Highly restrictive and eliminates many favorite foods such as pasta, bread, potatoes and desserts. · May be socially disruptive; difficult to eat out or at social occasions plus is not family friendly. · May be an initial withdrawal period when dieters commence the diet due to eliminating coffee, sugar, alcohol and refined carbohydrates. · Diet is based on speculation to some degree, as it is impossible to be certain what exactly our Paleolithic ancestors ate. · Will require careful planning to ensure that calcium is adequately supplied due to the absence of dairy products. · Not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. |
