Decrease the amount of carbohydrates, dairy, and sugars you consume and start to incorporate a bit more healthy fats and protein into your daily food intake (lean meats, salmon, shellfish, eggs, nuts, healthy fats, etc.) while drinking plenty of water. Start taking any of our supplements as you start the diet. Organize your foods so you’re prepared to do the Paleo diet successfully.

Keep taking supplements while you add more Paleo-appropriate foods, depending on the specific diet you have chosen to follow. Always drink plenty of water to facilitate this dietary adjustment and prevent dehydration. The sooner you fully assimilate to the Paleo eating plan the quicker weight loss will occur. Fully eating “Paleo” means your body is burning fat for energy and not any muscle tissue; light exercise can help with this. Be sure to follow your diet as outlined and keep track of how you’re feeling as you progress. Also keep an eye on your sodium, potassium, and magnesium to be sure you’re maintaining proper levels.

There are several ways that people choose to do the Paleo Diet and what works best for you is an individual decision. We have put together a list of foods that are appropriate for the diet along with the nutritional information needed to accurately account for calories, fat, carbs, and protein below.

Continue taking our supplements for appetite suppression while you very slowly begin to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, and grains to your diet…still keeping carbs and sugar low. Keep a close watch on how many calories you consume and get exercise for muscle gain…increasing carbs again but only for workouts. Always be sure to stay well hydrated and begin to transition to a “low carb” diet that’s not fully the Paleo diet. Eat more of a Diabetic diet with healthy protein and fats, low carb and sugar options in vegetables, grains, and fruit, while still avoiding added sugar. This phase will help you understand what foods you can have to help keep the weight off and what items need to be limited, if not completely avoided.

This phase is essentially “the rest of your life” where you can use the information you learned from your Paleo diet experience and the stabilization process while continuing to take your supplements. You are free to continue to eat a more relaxed form of the Paleo diet that works better for long-term maintenance, or you can eat a more Diabetic diet to reduce carbs and sugars in general. Another popular option is “Intermittent Fasting” – an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and not eating and focuses more on when you eat rather than what you eat (within reason). This can be done long term and is useful as part of the maintenance of your weight loss after a keto diet. There are different ways of doing this type of fasting, but all involve splitting the day or week into eating and fasting periods.

The Fat, Carbs and Protein values below are measured in grams.

• BEVERAGES/LIQUIDS/MISC.
• Water: still or sparkling; a staple on the diet for proper hydration
• Coffee: black without sweeteners/flavorings of any kind
• Tea: black, green (matcha), and herbal are best; Kombucha is also allowed
• Alcohol: best avoided, but hard liquor is the best choice; no beer or wine; slows weight loss
• Broth: organic bone broth is best, watch for added sugars & check the nutritional facts for details
• Flavorings: packets flavored with stevia are fine in moderation; allowed citrus items are best
• Artificial Sweeteners: Stevia, Xylitol, Erythritol, Cucralose, Sweet n’ Low (saccharin); use all sparingly
  (known to be sweeter than sugar; can cause sugar cravings on the diet)

• Spices: fresh or dried are fine; opt for powders and avoid salts; carefully read labels on dried varieties
• Condiments: low/no sugar is best (carefully read labels & account for ingredients); use sparingly
