·         Shrimp                                                   Oysters

 

 

Paleo Diet Vegetables

Almost all vegetables are paleo, but you need to be careful here. Vegetables with a high starch content, such as potatoes and squashes, tend to have low nutritional value in comparison to the amount of starches/carbs/sugars they contain.

·         Asparagus                                             Broccoli

·         Avocado                                               Zucchini

·         Artichoke hearts                                   Cabbage

·         Brussels sprouts                                    Peppers

·         Carrots                                                  Cauliflower

·         Spinach                                                 Parsley

·         Celery                                                   Eggplant

·         Green onions

 

These vegetables are quite starchy, so eat them in moderation especially if you’re trying to lose weight.

·         Butternut squash*                                 Yam

·         Acorn squash*                                      Sweet Potatoes

·         Beets

 

 

 

Paleo Diet Oils/Fats

Contrary to popular belief, fat doesn’t make you fat; carbs do. Natural oils and fats are your body’s preferred sources of creating energy. The following are some of the best types of paleo oils and fats that you can give your body if you’re in need of some additional energy.

·         Coconut oil                                           Macadamia oil

·         Olive oil                                                Avacado oil

·         Grass-fed butter

 

 

Paleo Diet Nuts

We love nuts and they are decidedly paleo. Be careful though, as cashews are high in fat and, for some reason, it’s incredibly easy to eat an entire jar of them in one sitting. If you’re trying to lose weight, limit the amount of nuts you’re consuming.

·         Almonds                                               Pine nuts

·         Cashews                                                Pumpkin seeds                                               

·         Hazelnuts                                              Sunflower seeds

·         Pecans                                                   macadamia nuts

·         Walnuts

Please note: peanuts are NOT paleo as they’re not actually a nut. They’re a legume! 

 

 

Paleo Diet Fruits** 

Fruits are not only delicious, but they’re also great for you. That said, fruits (even paleo-approved ones) contain large amounts of fructose which, while much better than HFCS (high-fructose corn syrup), is still sugar. If you’re looking to lose weight on the paleo diet, you’ll want to cut back on your fruit intake and focus more on the vegetables allowed on the paleo diet.

·         Apple                                                    Lemon

·         Avocado                                               Strawberries

·         Blackberries                                         Watermelon

·         Papaya                                                  Pineapple guava

·         Peaches                                                 Lime

·         Plums                                                    Raspberries

·         Mango                                                   Cantaloupe

·         Lychee                                                  Tangerine                               

·         Blueberries                                            Figs

·         Grapes                                                   Oranges

·         Bananas
