The paleo diet is simple, it just prescribes that humans eat as their earliest ancestors did, the way nature intended us to eat. You eat only whole foods, nothing that is packaged or manufactured. By eliminating processed foods, foods that cause inflammation, you will be headed towards better digestion, absorption of nutrients, less joint pain and better sleeping habits.
You will not have to count your calories, measure your food, or keep track of what you eat simply because everything you put in your body when you follow this diet is healthy.
