    Common Questions

    What is the paleo diet?

    The paleo diet is a diet whose intention is to mimic what our ancestors ate. It focuses on eating whole nutritious foods that existed before the farming and agricultural revolution (about 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago).
    Dairy and grains such as beans are not allowed as they did not exist during this time. Michele at NomNom Paleo has an extensive article on the paleo diet.

    Several aspects of the Paleo diet have not been agreed on: what foods actually existed at the time, the variation in diets depending on region (e.g., tropical vs. the Arctic), how modern-day fruits and vegetables bear little resemblance to prehistoric wild versions.
    There are major disagreements among Paleo diet enthusiasts on what is included/excluded from the diet. As a result of these differences, there is no one “true” Paleo diet (source: Havard School of Public Health).

    What is a low carb diet?

    A low carb diet is a diet that restricts the intake of carbohydrates to between 20-130 grams per day. In a low carb diet, the macronutrient intake of fat and protein is increased to make up for the reduction of carbohydrates. 

    One hypothesis of why low-carb approaches produce quick weight loss compared to other diets is that fats and protein increase satiety and produce less concomitant hypoglycemia.
    The low carb diet comes in many forms: actually, there is no clear consensus on what defines a low carb diet. It can be outlined as follows:
    Very low-carbohydrate (< 10% carbohydrates) or 20-50 grams per day.
    Low-carbohydrate (<26% carbohydrates) or less than < 130 grams per day.
    Moderate-carbohydrate (26%-44% of daily calorie intake).
    High-carbohydrate (45% or greater of daily calorie intake).

    Carbs on the paleo diet?

    First, it is important to note that the paleo diet is not strictly a low carb diet. It does however by default, promote the intake of fewer carbohydrates by eliminating grains.

    To answer the question of how many carbs are allowed on the paleo diet, the answer is any. Adjust your carb intake according to your level of activity. As an example, an athlete will focus on higher carb paleo foods such as cassava root or plantains while someone doing an office job that involves sitting all day in front of a computer will seek to eat lower carb paleo foods such as broccoli, as a source of carbs.

    According to one source, a traditional paleo diet will have an approximated 35% of energy from fats, 35% of energy from carbohydrates, and 30% of energy from proteins. However, it provides a higher amount of dietary fiber (up to 45–100 g per day) than a low-carbohydrate diet.

      I am so glad you posted this. I'm always trying to find ideas for keto/paleo recipes and some of them just don't appeal. I found all of your recipes making me want to dig right and in and start creating the dishes. The family certainly won't feel like they are depriving themselves of delicious meals with your recipes.
