The Paleo Diet in a nutshell – Part 2

The Paleo Diet promotes the consumption of lean meats, those that contain less fat. For example, chicken breast is a lean meat. Lean red meats include cuts with less of the marble effect, which is when you see the white fat mixed with the red meat. These cuts include, but are not limited to, sirloin, strip steak, top round and T-bone. Chicken eggs are a highly recommended food choice on the Paleo Diet. Ideally, the eggs come from organically raised chickens. The high protein in the Paleo Diet is good for athletes, as protein is used to repair stressed muscles. The lean meats provide healthy protein with little fat. Seafood is a very healthy and important aspect of this diet. Seafood provides lean protein, and salmon, a highly recommended fish, provides omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for brain and joint health.
