On Nutrition: Jumpstarting the Paleo Diet

As part of a series of posts "On Nutrition" I have recently started, I was wondering how short I could write about the Paleo Diet, so here a short "Primer" as the result:

From the following foods, eat what you like, and eat as much (or as little) as you like:

• Eat meat, fish, animal fat
• Eat vegetables
• Eat fruits
• Eat real food, not industrial "Crap In A Box"
• Prefer traditional preparation methods (avoid novel industrial ones)

Don't overeat, but with these foods I don't have the urge to overeat like I did when I ate grains and dairy and seed oil.

Try to avoid evolutionary novel foods like the following:

• Avoid seed oil ("vegetable oil")
• Avoid dairy and milk (especially pasteurized milk and dairy made from it)
• Avoid cereal grains, soy

I personally recommend to not eat any seed oil, nor dairy, nor grains. But if you can't let go of your morning toast with butter, then limiting the amount is better than consuming much from these three.

Everything else? You need to find out yourself.

Is it some food your grand-grandmother would have had access to? Then it might be OK.

Can the food be produced only industrially? Oh, oh, better stay away from the stuff.

There is more, but for a start this should be enough.
