Paleo Meal Plan
Back to Basics

A paleo meal plan focuses on foods our ancestors ate: meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. It excludes grains, legumes, dairy, processed foods, and refined sugar. The goal is eating whole, unprocessed foods that were available before agriculture.

Clean out processed foods from your kitchen. Stock up on meats, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Plan simple meals like eggs with vegetables for breakfast, salad with grilled chicken for lunch, and steak with roasted vegetables for dinner. Start with a 30-day commitment.

Yes, paleo often leads to weight loss by eliminating processed foods and sugar, increasing protein intake (which improves satiety), and reducing overall calorie intake naturally. High protein and fiber keep you full longer. Most people see results in the first 2-4 weeks.

Paleo focuses on food quality (what ancestors ate), while keto focuses on macros (very low carb). Paleo allows fruits and some starchy vegetables; keto restricts them. Paleo excludes dairy; keto allows it. You can combine both (paleo-keto) by eating paleo foods while keeping carbs low.

Avoid grains (wheat, rice, oats), legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts), dairy, refined sugar, processed foods, vegetable oils (canola, soybean), and artificial sweeteners. Some people allow small amounts of white rice or ghee (clarified butter) as "gray area" foods.
