the countdown begins with the seven things people get wrong about the Paleo diet now all the diets out there of all of them the Paleo diet is the number one Google diet around the world for two years in a row and countless people are changed in their bodies that's why they're searching for it for example I'll just throw a couple up here there you just pull these off the web you have changes from from this to this we've got tons more folks bragging about how they've changed their bodies from using this diet in fact there's so many I can go on and on and on and on but I'm not going to because despite all the googling out there there's still a lot of misinformation about this diet for example that I did you have to eat hunks of meat to be on it I'm gonna clear that up today I want to clear up the misconception so you can make the Paleo diet work for you and get those results I just showed you so here's that the record straight are the Paleo gurus and co-authors of the whole thirty Dallas and Melissa Hartwig amazing results that folks for posting but there's still a ton of misperceptions about this Paleo diet why didn't that sell well there's no one person or one organization that sort of defines what paleo is so there's a lot of different sort of interpretations of that but the other thing is that there's also a large degree of variability person-to-person so different diets work better for different people even within a paleo framework so those are who was a diet for so a lot of doctors use the Paleo style diet to treat things like type-2 diabetes high blood pressure and high cholesterol but you don't have to be sick to benefit if you just want more energy better sleep fewer cravings or weight loss a Paleo diet is for you so we're gonna start off with the biggest misconception I just mentioned it a second earlier about these hunks of meat because you don't actually have to have excessive amounts of meat on this diet and if I'm gonna show you in this table go ahead you can walk ahead of me there are lots of things that we put up here that all are part of the Paleo diet so walk people through what you typically would do when you guys are using when you're eating paleo this is how we recommend putting a plate together it's not just meat meat meat I recommend about a palm-sized serving of protein so you can do this wild-caught salmon or postured eggs or this grass-fed beef and then you're really filling the rest of your plate with vegetables so you can do some starchy vegetables like butternut squash or a baked potato and then with some of the kind of leafy greens and more nutrient-dense vegetables and add some fruit if you want either to the meal or as a side so we've got some peaches here some apples and then finally you're gonna add some healthy fats so roughly I get this right half your plate is vegetables half your plate with vegetables yeah and it's a good mix of starchy stuff and some of the more nutrient-dense stuff you know how much of the fat you put in there so for things like avocado you can do between a quarter and a half of an avocado or you could do a closed handful of nuts and seeds or about a tablespoon or two of oil like avocado oil extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil for your cooking all right so big myth you have to only meet people throw that criticism at the diet all the time we disprove that there's two things that people also get wrong about the Paleo diet one of them is that calcium is a big issue and they're always searching how to make your house even a paleo died what do you think about that Dallas well good thing the thing with calcium is that we tend to fixate on how much we take in how much we actually get into our die and that's not really the whole story so really in the context of a paleo diet that doesn't have additional inflammatory load your body is better actually storing the calcium in your bones where do you actually take in and you can get some of that from dark leafy greens and things like that what about the crews is about to hear about lack of fiber yeah so actually this is a great source of fiber right here all the different vegetables you're gonna you're gonna eat and fruit and both solid lines all the fiber is really rich and plentiful when you're feeling half your plate with vegetables and fruit so I feel like there's a lot of rules for this diet if I'm not going all in is there any point in me trying it you don't have to do it all in there's not an all-or-nothing you know you don't get any benefit if you don't do it all in so really what we say is ideally you jump in with both feet do an introductory program like the whole 30 and then go on from there and figure out how to make it work for your long-term in a very sustainable and balanced way what about people who think they have to become shut-ins to go on the Paleo diet come on back I bought the menus here just thrown up there Melissa yeah you were to walk into this restaurant what was your order so we don't want you to become like a paleo hermit afraid to go out but I know right the first thing I would do is I would look at protein options and I would choose a healthy protein so the chicken the skirt steak the grilled salmon all look like really great options you're gonna want to take a look at your side dishes make sure that the potatoes for example aren't swimming in cream and then if you want to add a salad just take a look and make sure that you're not eating any sort of non paleo foods like the goat cheese and the California bistro yeah so if when I see that what do I do you would just say I don't the salad with no goat cheese it's really quite that simple if you don't make a big deal out of it the waiter and the people at your table aren't gonna make a big deal out of it all right number five what's the question come on up here the question you get asked the most I'm curious cuz you guys are filling these all the time sure I think the question we get asked the most is how do I make this work with a busy schedule and a family so what we say is they don't we just really requires some planning and preparation and get the whole family involved so involve the kids in meal planning all right we go to Libya for our number six question where's Libya put your hand up Libya let me see there you are now you've been on the Paleo diet I understand for three years yes right all right how's it worked for you it works out well I plan my meals on Sunday and make up for the whole week I always have go-to food like almonds a slice of apples so almond butter I take a whole jar of almond butter with me in the car whenever I need a real fanatic yeah yeah whenever I need something I just go right to it so planning for the whole week I'm making he makes me stay right up right on track and then the morning I get up I just packed my meal for the day and then I don't come back too late and that said to me so there's another question comes out of experiences like yours it's number six on our countdown it has to do with how much of some of the things you can eat take a look when on the Paleo diet you should only eat one serving of fat and every meal a serving of nuts the size of a small fist a portion of nut butter no larger than a ping-pong ball a helping of avocado the size of an egg and if you want coconut oil no more than half a shot glass and finally number seven on the countdown comes from Twitter Cornelia posted this she says paleo is no carbs there's no way for me hashtag paleo problems so what do you think about that Dallas yeah really become stampers people will confuse carbohydrate as a factual food constituent with grain tour products so they talk about bread and pasta like no carbs but really you're gonna get some carbohydrate from the fruits and vegetables you're eating yours not eating the lower nutrient sources like bread and pasta you should subscribe to my channel so you don't miss anything remember to check back often
