The number seven is by far the most present in every philosophy and sacred literature from time immemorial to the present day. But here he is to address some questions that appear on a daily basis from beginner Paleo ...
People always ask me, but what is Paleo? How does this diet? What can eat, what can not? And to try to simplify and answer these questions I decided to mount this Post with 7 Essentials, hope it will be useful to all.
7 Basics Paleo
Paleo is not "ONLY" diet!
Face the Paleo as a lifestyle, as well as vegetarians, they do not diet, but follow concepts that they believe 100%. The vegan for example do not consume anything that has animal origin, and they do not think, "ahh but weekend I eat BBQ why I deserve", or "Why is my day of garbage I can eat a steak." Believe 100% in the style of Paleo life that you are feeding as your body is designed to do so. (This Rodrigo interview Mojo Already blog with Dr. Souto explains this well - Link)
How, What, How, this or that I can eat?
The Paleo teachings do not follow menus, or calorie counting, measuring the amount of food that should and what should be eaten at every meal. It is a power aimed at health generally leaving to the follower of this lifestyle free will to eat consciously, always remembering that our body needs all the micro and macro nutrients. Be balanced, not only as protein, fat or only, or only vegetables, a healthy diet should be balanced and we need each of them to the proper functioning of our body.
Towards healthy eating.
It sounds complicated, but in reality is very simple to do. Following the idea that we should feed us only natural food, face must delete any and all processed foods and man-made. This includes bread, or you've seen a plantation of bread or pasta?
It has to be organic or not?
First, basically organic food is one free from any contaminant that endangers the environment or human health, either producers or consumers (see more here). Ideally play our most natural food, but let's be realistic that in this modern world is almost impossible to consume organic ALL, it is difficult to find, when we think is much more expensive, costing up to more than double, etc. Paleo Diet Try to consider and use common sense. Make smart choices. My policy is thus, for example at Cafe Proof bales every day, found the organic coffee, then coffee will consume organic, butter not found, then go to "normal" even, and so on.
Supplementation, Whey Protein, etc. It Can?
It is natural? No, then it can not! But it has some followers who follow with supplementation. Must be evaluated individually, preferably following guidance from a dietitian who is Paleo preference. But I particularly cut any and all type of supplementation, until that vitamin C, super innocent, because in my opinion we were spoiled to know that with a pill, according to manufacturers, already filled all the deficit gap that substance in our body and leave often eating an orange, or in the case of vitamin D, let's go for a walk and get some sunlight, and so on. I believe that makes us lazy and goes against the basic concepts of Paleo when we eat processed products and seek "shortcuts" in nutritional supplementation.
Exercise, need to do?
It is certainly not healthy and not pleasant to spend his life sitting, now working in front of a computer screen, now sitting in his house watching television. Did you know that there is a world out there? That the experiences of life should be lived indeed? In addition it is clear that the exercise will do you good yes, will improve your blood circulation, will release hormones, ... Well you get the idea right !? And remember to respect your limits, do not leave home thinking you'll get run a marathon on the first day, as well as everything in life is a succession of developments and daily practices. (Be sure to consult a doctor before).
Feed your brain
Skip the "fad diet", is the Paleo or any other, not understanding why of things. Invest some of your time in the know, search, seek information, watch the documentaries that are sure you will have access to information much faster and didactic way than reading a whole book. But be sure to read too! Rss. The Paleo Helper was created to make it easier this research task unifying various literature sources like the book, blogs, podcasts, documentaries, applications, recipes, links, etc.
