This program was created using sugar-free foods compliant with the Paleo Diet guidelines and with the following key considerations:
Fiber
Eating the proper amount and type of carbohydrate is important when following a paleo diet which is lower-carbohydrate. This program is grain-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free to optimize blood sugars and energy levels. Adequate dietary fiber intake is associated with several health benefits including better digestive health and reduced inflammation. The plan provides up to 35 grams of fiber daily from vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Soluble fiber found in foods like avocado, sweet potato, and broccolini has been shown to lower blood cholesterol and generates short-chain fatty acids which have anti-inflammatory effects.
High-Quality Protein
Getting enough daily protein will help with weight management and preventing muscle loss. This meal plan provides high-quality protein sources such as chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, and fish. These complete proteins are highly digestible and provide an adequate amount of amino acids. Protein is distributed between every meal and snack to help with building muscle strength and hypertrophy.
Healthy Fats
Following a Paleolithic diet can improve your lipid profile. This high-fat plan is rich in monounsaturated fat from olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds, and medium-chain fatty acids from coconut oil. These foods can help reduce the growth of some fungal pathogens in the gut and are beneficial for the immune system and inflammatory responses. Omega-3 fatty acids found in plant-based oils, nuts, and fatty fish provide cardiovascular benefits and reduce inflammation.
Bone Health
Calcium is a mineral that is essential for building healthy bones and a potential nutrient deficiency in paleo diets. Magnesium has a structural role in bone maintenance and influences bone-building cells. Calcium is incorporated in this program from almond butter, broccolini, tahini, and kale. This plan provides magnesium from avocado, chicken, apples, beef, and ground flax seeds.
