Paleo, also known as Primal, Caveman, and Stone Age diet draws its core principles from our hunter-gatherer, ancestral lifestyle and combines those with modern scientific research and a good dose of common sense. The diet has gained a huge following lately and as a result it is often scrutinised, misrepresented, and often misunderstood. The thing about Paleo is that it’s not really a new diet. The ‘lifestyle’ – yes it’s much more than a diet – has been around for many years.
It focuses on eating whole, unprocessed foods like grass-fed meat, free range poultry, wild fish, vegetables (including root vegetables,) fruit, berries, some nuts and seeds. It avoids grains, legumes, refined sugars and dairy. So, without going into too much detail, it avoids all these foods to control insulin sensitivity, repair gut health, increase nutrient absorption and reduce negative inflammatory effects they cause.

Yum. I love saltimbocca and the bean puree also sounds great. I think my kids will like this one too. Will have to give it a go. Thanks for sharing on YWFx

Yes, a very kid friendly dish. Perfect for the summertime, as you’re not heating up the kitchen with an oven, or boiling potatoes. Let me know if you try it 🙂
