If you are on the hunt for delicious paleo recipes, you are in the right place! No more restrictions just because you are “on a diet.” The paleolithic diet approach is a flexible and effective diet plan that excludes refined and processed foods. This reduces the calories from added sugars and trans fats you consume per day. The paleo diet is also known as the ‘caveman diet’ as it is more about consuming natural whole foods. It does not particularly focus on just one food group like carbs, proteins, or fats (1).Rather, it emphasizes the origins and the quality of the produce, like real whole vegetables instead of processed packaged versions of them.
Russ Crandal, a food blogger, followed the Paleo diet for five years and experienced several good results. He said, “In other words, we should seek those tastes we crave, but from natural sources. That’s the basis I use for building my meals and writing my recipes; by eating flavorful meals that are nutritious, delicious, and satisfying, I’m able to maintain my diet without feeling like it’s a compromise (i).”
For this diet, you need lots of organic vegetables, fruits, grass-fed meat, and pasture-raised poultry in your pantry. These healthy and natural sources of foods will help you lead a Paleolithic era lifestyle. To help you out, we have listed the 21 best, simple, and easy paleo diet recipes below, which include various paleo snacks and paleo weight loss meals for you to try. Don’t worry we’ve also added some sweet paleo dessert options, like smoothies. So get into the Paleo groove seamlessly with these recipes and enjoy being on a diet plan without missing out on your favorite foods. Scroll down.
