What Is The Paleo Diet?
This is any food that you can imagine our agrarian ancestors eating. This means no grains, flour, dairy or any other processed ingredients.
Luckily, there are plenty of non-processed foods that you can eat on the paleo diet.
This means you can eat lean meats, fish, vegetables, eggs, nuts and seeds. If it looks like you can harvest it fresh from the ground or the farm, then you can eat it.
Simplicity is the key to a lot of these dishes. You should use foods that come in their simplest form without anything added to them.
One way to check this is by looking at the packet.
The fewer ingredients and additives, the better. Although the freshest stuff comes with no packaging at all!

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
