There are a lot of ‘miracle diets’ out there that promise rapid weight loss, incredible muscle growth, or amazing stamina… and you know most of them are complete garbage...But I’m not promising any of that with this Paleo food list for the Paleo diet.
We simply want to lay out a healthier option to crash dieting, or overeating unhealthy foods. Also changing your lifestyle to become healthier is an attractive habit for guys.
We are in no way claiming that this diet is perfect for everyone. It’s not. But it is one powerful eating plan that’s worked really well for people we know, and we wanted to share the benefits with you.

There are many variations of the Paleo diet, and they’re all a little different (some are way more extreme than others). There are also a lot of different opinions on how much of each Paleo food group you should eat.
…But we don’t pretend to know how much is right for each individual person. Your doctor is the expert who knows how much protein, fiber, carbs, sugar, etc. you need, so you should talk to him/her before deciding how much of each Paleo food group to eat. Sound good?
This food list lays out what foods are allowed on the Paleo diet, and what foods aren’t. And it’s actually pretty simple to follow.
The Paleo diet is only foods that cavemen during the Paleolithic period had access to.
…And since they didn’t have access to anything prior to the agricultural revolution, that eliminates milk products, wheat products, and sugar (and obviously, processed foods).
Obviously, cavemen ate whatever they could, whenever they could as hunter-gatherers… but the focus of this diet isn’t becoming just like a caveman, it’s cutting down the extra sugars, bad fats, bad/simple carbs and processed preservatives that we can get now.
Here's why Paleo eaters cut out those specific things:
…So there's no calorie counting or portion control with Paleo... just cut all those foods from your diet. Make sense?
This list is pretty straightforward… first, I’ve given you a list of Paleo-approved foods to eat, then a list of what Paleo eaters don’t eat in that same category (basically, it’s an ‘eat this… not that’ format).
...And for the ‘not that’ foods, I even explain why it’s not Paleo-approved (which of the three things above (bad sugars, fats, or carbs) it contains... but remember, it's just no diary products, grains or sugars).
Now, if you're researching the diet, you should read this entire list,
Here's the paleo food list:

This is one of the best parts of the Paleo diet...
Almost any vegetable you can find is 100% allowed.
...But do make sure that you eat a large variety of vegetables… because not every vegetable has every nutrient your body needs. Mix them up in your diet to get a good mix of nutrients.
Like I said above, all vegetables are allowed on the Paleo diet... but some Paleo experts suggest you cut these vegetables out of your diet, unless you’re an athlete.
These vegetables are starches (which means high in those bad carbs we talked about), and so they're only really appropriate for those athletes who need long-term carb energy boosts.

Another great part about the Paleo diet… almost all meat is allowed, just like vegetables.
…But just like with vegetables, eat a good mix of red meat, white meat, and seafood. Each of these have those different nutrients, and your body needs more than just steak or just salmon to survive.

…And here's another nearly unrestricted area of the Paleo diet… fruit.
Fruits are often high in essential vitamins and good carbs that your body uses for energy.
…But try to not eat too much fruit. Even though the sugar in fruit is naturally occurring, it’s still sugar, and can still harm your body (especially your heart) when you eat a lot of it.

You can eat these nuts, plus any of their nut butters and nut flours (like almond flour and coconut flour).
Now:
Nuts are a great source of healthy fats and fiber, and they powerfully fill you up (since they're high in protein). But just like with fruits, don’t eat too many nuts, or you risk a fat/calorie overload.

In general, natural oils are high in good fat, but they're also high in calories and can be dangerous to over consume.
...But cooking with any of these oils is perfectly Paleo-approved:
All of these oils are high in bad fats, and/or are heavily processed in their final form.

Just because these natural sweeteners are Paleo-approved, it doesn’t mean that you should eat a lot of them. Really, you’re better off not using them at all.
…But if you really want something to sweeten your coffee, baked goods, or glazes, the following list is the best Paleo-approved options to choose from.

The best Paleo beverage (and all-around beverage, really) is water, which is essential to life and important in so many processes of your body.
...But I get it:
Sometimes you’re craving a little more flavor. Try any of these Paleo-approved beverages in those moments.
This Paleo food list is pretty straightforward and helpful for people starting out this lifestyle. Check out these food subscription boxes that have Paleo options.
No diet is going to be perfect for every human in the world... we all have different needs.
But if you and your doctor think it's a good idea, use our Paleo food list to come up with powerfully healthy meals and snacks!
One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.
