FAQ: What is Paleo?
The Paleo diet refers to the hunter-gatherer human diet of our Paleolithic ancestors. During this "cave man" period humans ate meat, vegetables, fruits, seeds, & nuts.
FAQ: What do you eat?
Modern day Paleo diet followers mimic this same diet so postagricultural western foods like grains, dairy, & legumes are not eaten. Paleo diet followers also tend to stay away from most processed foods (things made in a factory & packaged).
FAQ: Is it hard to follow?
No it's not hard to follow! When grocery shopping stick to the outside aisles. Anything fresh is where it's at!
FAQ: What about when you're with Western Dieters?
Meat, vegetables, & fruits are in the western diet although most people don't eat adequate amounts of these. You can go to practically any restaurant and get a meat/vegetable meal. I would stick with gluten-free options, if you can, at restaurants as those will be the healthiest prepared meals.

FAQ: What is this blog intended for?
I'm using my blog to advocate living the best possible life you can by treating your body well. This means fueling our bodies by eating healthy, natural, wholefoods that it was designed for & to leave the processed, packaged foods alone. Now, I am not saying PLDFW is a cult & you can't have anything in a package ever, but I am saying that it needs to be severely limited. Since the inception of Paleo in my life I have maintained that it is a lifestyle not a cult or a diet. Human beings need to get back to the basics of nutrition as well as fitness. Back in Paleolithic times humans lived extremely active lives via hunting, fishing, foraging, lifting, moving, etc. & in today's modern times humans are mainly sedentary. This means it's up to us to get moving & incorporate some fitness. It doesn't have to be a stringent 6 day a week workouts, but at least some cardio 3 times a week would be a great start.
