Paleo - Should you make the switch?
5:30 pm
In my last post I mentioned the current
interest in Paleo in Australia, and the attention it has received in the media.
This has all come about because of Pete Evans. Pete Evans is an Australian
chef, author and television star, most commonly seen on My Kitchen Rules, as
one of the judges.

He recently appeared on the television
program Sunday Night on Channel 7, and spoke about the Paleo diet. He himself
is a huge supporter for the Paleo diet, having released books and creating his
own website called “The Paleo Way” (https://thepaleoway.com).
Here he actively provides 10-week programs for anyone looking to change their
lifestyle with the Paleo diet.
However, with all this positive publicity
about the Paleo diet, also came with a lot of controversy. I have decided to
share the nutritional benefits of Paleo as well as the disadvantages:
2. You eat more good stuff: Comprised of meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits, and healthy, natural fats, the Paleo diet is super nutritious, for sure, and an enormous improvement over the standard American diet.
PALEO DISADVANTAGES:
On the other hand, if
you choose to limit your consumption of animal
products for ethical or any other reasons, or you’re concerned with the environmental impact of your food
choices, or you have a limited food
budget, or you enjoy eating a
variety of cuisines and traditional foods, I think you’ll find the Paleo
diet rather challenging.
