PALEO BODYBUILDER by MAX NERD:
In order to follow the Paleo Diet Lifestyle, here are the foods that are Paleo approved:
* Meat* –*steak, ham, pork, bison, boar.
* Organs – liver, kidneys, heart.
* Marrows – seeing a theme here? Eat ALL parts of the animal!
* Fowl –*chicken, duck, hen, turkey…things with wings that (try to) fly.
* Fish –*cod, tuna, salmon, and so on.
* Eggs –*Look for omega-3 enriched cage-free eggs.
* Vegetables – spinach, broccoli, kale, carrots, peppers, zucchini, onions, etc.
* Oils –*minimally processed, derived from plants: olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil.
* Fats: ghee, lard, or other animal fats.
* Fruits – apples, pears, bananas, grapes, strawberries.
* Nuts – almonds, walnuts, cashews, and their respective butters (almond butter is so good!)
* Tubers –*SWEET POTATOES* and yams.
* Herbs/Spices
You’re only eating meat, fish, veggies, fruits, and nuts.*These are foods that are full of nutrients, will make you feel full, but don’t have nearly as many calories as junk food.
*If you can, aim for grass-fed beef (antibiotic-free) and organic fruits and vegetables. But don’t go break the bank with your food purchases. Just do the best you can.*
As the Paleo Diet explains: Pick any of the foods from that list and eat as much as you want of them.
Here are some examples of Paleo-Approved Healthy Fats:
1. Avocados
2. Almond (and almond butter)
3. Fatty cuts of meat
4. Walnuts
5. Coconut oil
6. Olive oil
Every meal should have a portion of fruit and vegetables, in addition to meat (which can also be chicken – it doesn’t have to be red meat).
Foods that you’re NOT allowed to eat on the Paleo Diet:
* Grains like pasta, cereal bread, and rice
* Dairy like milk and cheese
* Candy, cookies, ice cream, and other processed foods
* Cereal grains
* Legumes (peanuts, beans, lentils, tofu)
* Refined sugar
* Processed foods
* Soda & sweetened beverages
* Refined vegetable oils
* Salt
* Artificial sweeteners
Can you eat grain? NO
The Caveman reason why: Grains require some amount of processing, and thus Cavemen would not have eaten them.
Note: That it doesn’t mention calorie counting or meal timing or macro tracking. That’s part of the popularity of this diet: eat paleo approved foods when you’re hungry, and that’s it !
The biggest issue that people run into while on the Paleo diet is that they don’t plan out their meals in advance, then they find it more difficult to get the complex carbohydrates that they need in order to keep up with higher-activity workouts
Cheating:
Something else you can do, though you may not want to if you are more of a Paleo purist, is to supplement your diet with grains like brown rice or steel-cut oats.
Cutting out Dairy and Grains is probably one of the most difficult part of the diet. It is missing a lot of popular complex carbohydrates and complete proteins sourced through dairy. My plan would be to take the 80/20 or 90/10 approach and follow the lifestyle 80 to 90% of the time and have your cheat meals just like you do in bodybuilding!!

There are so many views on what foods are considered Paleo and I realize that there are 1000’s of experts that disagree. This is for informational purposes only.
