Planning Your Paleo Meals
Planning your Paleo meal choices gives you an advantage by having a rock-solid ingredient list every week to plan your shopping trips. Knowing what you'll be preparing and eating throughout the week ahead of time helps you stay committed to your Paleo Diet.
What is a paleo meal plan?
A Paleo meal plan consists of the food and recipe choices that you plan on eating throughout the day, week, and month.
What Are the Benefits of Paleo Meal Planning?
While all of the food choices on a Paleo Diet are simple, unprocessed foods, that doesn’t mean what you eat has to be boring. Paleo Diets can often be overlooked simply because of what you’re restricted from eating. These restrictions are there for a reason, your health.
The foods that you need to avoid on a Paleo Diet are either ones that are prepared using unhealthy or artificial ingredients or prepared in ways that strip the foods you eat of their nutritional value.
