Have you heard of The Paleo Diet? Or perhaps you’ve heard it called the caveman diet? Paleo is the way we all used to eat – before modern agriculture completely reshaped our diet – and health.

Paleo involves eating lots of real, whole unprocessed foods. Think grass-fed meat, wild line-caught fish, organic vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and eggs. Did you notice the omissions? Paleo excludes grains, legumes and dairy. This is because these contain a lot of components that our bodies do not process well – and in turn lead to inflammation and all sorts of health issues. In fact, many think todays modern illnesses are down to the popular Western diet.

Most people who transition to a Paleo diet find they have increased energy – and many health complaints simply vanish. The overweight find their weight drops to a normal weight – yet they feel they’ve been eating more than ever before. Sleep improves, skin and hair transform.

So why not give the Paleo diet a try? There’s nothing to lose. Just promise yourself to give it a go for 30 days, then assess how you feel at the end, compared to the beginning. If you like, take photos at the beginning and end, as well as measurements. If you don’t feel different, well nothing lost. But maybe you’ll be one of the thousands of people to completely transform their life?

Once you get over the idea that breakfast has to be a certain type of meal, and realise it is just another meal, you’ll realise there are literally numerous options for breakfast. And your body will thank you for choosing them.

So what are you waiting for? What’s for dinner in your house tonight?
