GET THE MEAL PLAN

I share a one week paleo meal plan filled with healthy recipes that provide around 1700 calories and 100 grams of protein. 

The paleo diet is alive and well in the nutrition world. Based on the dietary patterns of our ancestors in the Paleolithic era, the diet eliminates any processed foods, dairy, grains, added sugar, excess preservatives, processed foods, refined oils and legumes. This diet mainly consists of foods like meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Since the research on the efficacy of the diet is lacking, and I don’t personally see any reason to remove healthy foods like legumes, I don’t explicitly recommend the paleo diet in the strict sense. However, there are some principals that I think make sense. Namely, the reduction in processed foods. If you are trying to limit processed foods in your diet, or reducing dairy or gluten due to intolerances, we’ve got the perfect meal plan for you.

We’ve gathered a collection of naturally paleo-approved recipes from Abbey’s Kitchen and other wonderful food bloggers and have put together a meal plan that will organize your life for the next week! We want to show you that there’s no need for expensive “Paleo” specialty products, when there are so many naturally nourishing foods and recipes to incorporate into your day. This dietary pattern is appropriate for most people, but if you don’t have any trouble digesting dairy, gluten or legumes like most people, I suggest adding them back in.
