Medical evaluation of the diet
If you want to lose weight, the Paleo diet is helpful, because many sins like fast food, pizza, white flour and sugar are removed from the menu. Many people find it difficult to do without the breakfast roll, muesli or the pasta dish. This means that especially many classic carbohydrate suppliers are cut from the menu.
However, there are paleo-compliant alternatives for these dishes, but they are quite expensive. Examples are crunchy muesli made from nuts and seeds or a home-baked Paleo-suitable bread. The changeover to the Stone Age diet is radical and requires a lot of willpower, time and money to buy the high quality food and prepare it Paleo-compatible.
One should pay attention to a balanced diet when implementing the diet and not consume too much meat, as this can be harmful in large quantities.The Paleo diet is particularly suitable for people who suffer from (perhaps even unnoticed) intolerances. There are many people with diseases such as neurodermatitis who have noticed an improvement in their symptoms under the Paleo-Diet. According to nutritional scientists, a great advantage of the diet is the fact that the Paleo-Diet is very consciously dealing with the food. Only fresh, unprocessed food ends up on the table, which you usually prepare yourself.
What alternative diets are there to the Paleo diet?
There are numerous diets that can be tried as an alternative to the Paleo diet, depending on how quickly and in the long term you want to lose weight. If, similar to the Paleo Diet, you want to consciously devote yourself to the foods you consume, you can try the Food Combining Diet, in which foods are divided into groups and may only be eaten in certain combinations. The Logi method or the Glyx diet focuses on the extent to which certain carbohydrates raise blood sugar above normal levels.
The Atkins method is also a popular method for losing weight with structured dietary phases and a disciplined sports program. In order to lose weight particularly quickly, many people try out mono diets such as the fruit or vegetable diet, the cabbage soup diet or diets with shakes, for example from Almased, Yokebe or Doppelherz®. In order to maintain the desired weight permanently, after a diet, people should change their diet to a healthy, balanced diet and exercise regularly.
