The Final Verdict on the Paleo Diet

 There’s no doubt that the Paleo Diet sounds

appealing.

At first glance, it is tempting to think of our

caveman ancestors as living fitter, healthier

lives. But the truth of the matter is that a lot

of the guesswork that Paleo’s foundation is

built on doesn’t quite stand up to scrutiny.

And while it certainly does offer some

benefits like eating fewer preservatives and

additives, providing more chances to give

your body essential nutrients, and offering

possible health effects like lower risks of

obesity-related diseases, the detriments of

Paleo might outweigh these upsides.

An unusually restrictive diet, wallet-busting

ingredient costs, and nutritional deficiencies

are some of the worst offenders here.

Beyond that, Paleo has been proven to

drop pounds over time. And if you do

actually stick with it in the long-term, you’ll

undoubtedly start seeing results. But given

just how easy this diet makes it to slip up and how long it takes for substantial weight loss to kick in, you’re probably better off

finding a more accessible alternative.

Ultimately, Paleo is just another fad diet with sub-par results.

Luckily, though, there are faster, healthier, and smarter ways to trim up your waistline

and lose belly fat much quicker. So don’t lose hope just yet!
