Eating a paleo diet today has never been easier. When the paleo diet first came out, you had to collect appropriate paleo-approved ingredients and make recipes from them.
Many cookbooks are written by people wanting eat foods sans processed ingredients, and others were diagnosed with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders, and the paleo diet is the best diet for people with these conditions, since they are devoid of processed sugars and other processed ingredients.
Those days are long behind us. Now there are hundreds of paleo cookbooks available, and thousands of easy paleo recipes at your fingertips, and you can whip up paleo meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Many ingredients available at your local grocery store meet the guidelines of the paleo diet, and many even have a disclaimer that they are paleo-approved, so eating a paleo diet today has never been easier.
This easy paleo pasta recipe is delicious and nutritious.
