Paleo diet

With graduation just around the corner and facing the facts that I will soon be on my own, I have decided to look into certain diets that I think would be beneficial to my health as well as relatively easy to follow. One that caught my attention is the Paleo diet –short for Paleolithic.

The basic principles of the Paleo diet are quite simple: eat what our caveman ancestors ate. This means a complete reduction of carbohydrates and elimination of refined sugars and oils. Moreover, according to some sources,  the diet consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, eggs, vegetables, fruit, fungi, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, potatoes, refined salt, refined sugar, and processed oils. 

Overall, the diet isn't something that would be extremely easy to accomplish but with continued implementation, it may become something that becomes routine and easier to follow. Hopefully I will be able to try it once I graduate but until then, I'd like to try and avoid as many refined foods as possible.
