Paleo? Primal? What does it all mean?

Here's my history post on the Paleo lifestyle. (Notice my strong will to use the word lifestyle and not diet?)

Basically being "paleo" means to eat the way our ancestors did in the Paleolithic era. In the Stone Age they could only eat what they could hunt and gather. This was before man made foods like wheat, corn, cheese, and of course that prepackaged shit we find at local grocery store.

Lets take a step back and think about what that includes: Meats of every sort, fatty and none fatty. Vegetables and berries. Nuts....hmmm....well that's it? Yep that is it! And you will be surprised how far those things will take you living primal. 

But wait, what about the health benefits? Will I lose weight? And how?

Since we took a step back into the world of Little Foot and Ducky, lets stay there for a minute and think about humans health then and our health in 2013! 

Let us all be honest and agree that not one of us can picture an obese caveman (Fred being an exception). They couldn't be anything but fit. Survival of the fittest was so present at that time that they had to be all lean so they could move fast, fight, and survive! Think of all the health diseases human struggle with daily. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gut issues, chrones disease. 

So what is obvious in America? We need to change the way we eat! 

We have not evolved to be the strong human being that our cave ancestors set us up to be.

Some daily things you will notice living primal are more energy, better sleep, and less aches!!

HEY BRITTANY! I WHAT ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS! I CAME HERE TO LOOK GOOD NAKED!

Do not fret! While I do consider weight-loss to be a huge benefit of this lifestyle, I think it's 50/50 with the health benefits too! But you will lose weight! Grains are demons that go in through your mouth and live in your ass! 

Here's a quick explanation, I am not a nutritionist, scientist, or college graduate.

When you need energy your body either burns carbs, sugars, or fat. So when you eat carbs and sugars and you need energy to get through your day, instead of burning fat it will burn those first. When you keep carbs and sugars down to a minimum (as the carbs from the veggies you eat or sugars from the fruits) then your body is automatically going to start burning fat!
