Eating as Nature Intended -

Evolutionism or Creationism? It does not matter which philosophy of origin that you choose as your faith. Our ancestors survived on a diet, according to nature’s intention.

During the very beginning, people started out as real vegetarians – not the modern version of vegetarianism.

During that time, a real vegetarian ate vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. They were not eating grains and drinking soy milk.

Both man and woman were active, strong, and healthy. They lived from the foods that nature provided for them.

Several hundred years later, our ancestors started incorporating meat into their diet. It was a great addition, complementing many foods with a denser content of nutrients, including Vitamin A, iron, selenium, zinc, and amino acids.

The human benefited by living many years longer than today’s average age of life expectancy.

After the Agricultural Revolution was introduced to mankind, humans were not as active, strong, and healthy.

Dairy has its merits without a doubt, but it does cause problems for people (regardless of their tolerance to lactose). Grains are not necessarily unhealthy. After all, they are healthier than Doritos, Twinkies, and fried food. Although, lectins and phytates present its own set of challenges, primarily making digestion and absorption difficult for our bodies.

The standard American diet (also known as SAD) is burdening people with more health problems. It is a funny coincidence that the acronym for the standard American diet spells out a quite relevant emotion. If we want to live a long and healthy life, we should consider returning to the lifestyle of our Paleolithic ancestors.

Debbie Fred, an exercise enthusiast and MRI technologist, dedicated her life to wellness and fitness. The dedication really bloomed after the birth of her three children.

She gave up dairy during her time of breastfeeding to alleviate her daughter’s colic. She continued to eat dairy-free after the birth of her son. When he showed signs of pain from eating, she decided to undergo months of costly testing that eventually revealed an intolerance to gluten^[1].

During Debbie’s third pregnancy, she avoided all dairy and gluten and her third child thrived as a result. At that point, it was clear to her that she needed to replace the standard American diet for a diet similar to our Paleolithic ancestors.

Before Paleo Eats^[2], Debbie started baking nutritious and tasty gluten-free and dairy-free treats for her family. As more people tasted her delicious Paleo-friendly bars, she started offering specialty baked goods to the public. It was the positive reception from the public that prompted her to launch Paleo Eats.

The five year old company offers three varieties^[3], all offering a low glycemic index. All of her bars are either certified Paleo or Paleo friendly.

So, what does that exactly mean? Free of gluten, dairy, grains, and corn.

Paleo Eats are not products made for the longest shelf life, but instead made to improve your health.
