What You Need to Know About the Paleo Diet

On Nov 12, 2020, I posted an in-depth look at the differences between gluten-free and Paleo’s position on grains. There are some grains that do not contain gluten such as oats, rice, buckwheat, corn, quinoa, amaranth and a few others. But no grains are permitted on Paleo because they are simple carbohydrates and quickly break down into sugar causing a spike in blood sugar level. This prevents the body from burning fat since it needs to convert the excess glucose in the bloodstream into energy while storing the rest as fat. 
Taking the place of grains are Paleo baking flours such as almond, cassava, coconut, hazelnut, cashew, tiger nut, arrowroot and tapioca flours. I typically like to mix two or three together to get the texture and flavor I’m looking for.

Diet and Weight Loss

One of the most popular topics at my market stall was what was the best diet for losing weight. I believe there is no such thing as the best diet for everyone. The best diet for someone is one that provides healthy results and is one that can be adhered to for the rest of one’s life. You might decide to modify it, especially once you reach your target weight, and allows you to occasionally cheat. If you go on vacation and gain a little weight, you don’t come home and become depressed after stepping on the scale because you know what you need to do to easily take the weight off.
 
I discovered firsthand a few years ago that the best diet for one person may not be the best one for someone else. Even though the Paleo products I sold at markets weren’t Whole30 I had a Whole30 cookbook at my stall because I liked talking about it. If you’re not familiar with Whole30, please do a web search. There are many sites about it, and thousands of Whole30 recipes on the web. In a nutshell, it’s the strictest form of Paleo.

No discussion of diets would be complete without talking about the Ketogenic (Keto) Diet. I talked to many people at the market who were over the moon with this diet. After trying many diets they were finally losing weight and had so much energy. They loved making fat bombs and couldn’t believe they could eat so much cheese and peanut butter and quickly lose weight. They were sure they could stay on this diet indefinitely.
