Eggs, avocado and sautéed greens
Paleo
A whole-food approach that removes grains, legumes and most highly processed foods.
Paleo centers meals on meat, seafood, eggs, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds. It can be lower in carbohydrate, although fruit and starchy vegetables mean it is not automatically a very-low-carb diet.
Three ideas to keep in view
- 01
Choose recognisable, minimally processed foods
- 02
Remove grains, legumes and most dairy
- 03
Let hunger and activity guide portions of fruit and roots
Build from familiar ingredients
- Meat, fish, eggs and seafood
- Vegetables, fruit and root vegetables
- Nuts, seeds, avocado and coconut
- Olive oil, herbs, spices and fermented vegetables

You prefer food-based rules and want to reduce ultra-processed foods without counting macros.
Removing several food groups can increase cost and reduce variety. Plan calcium, fiber and convenient meal options.
Dietary changes can affect health conditions and medications. Talk with a qualified health professional about your circumstances.
