If you want to eat according to the Stone Age method, you naturally need healthy Paleo recipe ideas. What a breakfast, lunch, and paleo dinner meal plan might look like? We’ll tell you!
Paleo diet recipes: You should pay attention to this when preparing
Paleo, also known as Stone Age nutrition, is based on not eating industrially processed food, such as ready meals or sausages. As in the Stone Age, when people were still “hunters and gatherers”, Paleo mainly eats the foods that were eaten back then – such as fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Food that did not even exist in the Stone Age is taboo for very strict Paleo supporters. This includes:
- Grain Products
- Dairy products
- sugar
- legumes
- industrially processed food (ready meals)
- sausage
Allowed are:
- meat
- nuts
- Fish
- eggs
- vegetables
- fruit
What to look out for when choosing food:
- The food should be fresh
- Don’t include too much meat in your diet
