Paleo and AutoImmune Paleo Diets
Paleo and AutoImmune Paleo Diets are grain-free and starch-free (or low in starch).
Paleolithic Diet
Known as the caveman diet, The Paleolithic (or paleo) diet has been designed to mimic the diet of our ancestors, before we began to farm and process our food. As the paleo diet is hunter-gatherer in style, the emphasis is on:wild fish, grass fed beef, free-range chickens and eggs – along with vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, and nuts.
The Paleo diet restricts: grains, legumes, dairy, and refined sugar.
Since this diet avoids grains it is used to counteract gastrointestinal issues, and was first introduced for this purpose by gastroenterologist, Walter L. Voegtlin in 1975. Paleo has become popular with a wider audience due to the emphasis on wholefoods, and avoiding processed food, but most importantly those who follow the diet have a wider, more diverse microbiome, which can reduce gastrointestinal symptoms.
As with the SCD and GAPS Diet, since Paleo supports gastrointestinal healing, it can often be helpful for children and individuals with gut/brain conditions, such as: ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, and tics.
The avoidance of grains, most starches, and refined sugar makes Paleo lower in carbohydrates than the average Standard American Diet. Therefore, people that find that these carbohydrates imbalance their blood sugar, often find Paleo to be helpful keeping metabolic conditions more stable.
AutoImmune Paleo Diet
A stricter form of the Paleo Diet, often used to counteract the symptoms of autoimmune disorders, the diet further restricts foods that can cause inflammation in some individuals.
This diet removes the foods not allowed on Paleo plus others, including: grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, alcohol, coffee, food additives, processed foods, and nightshades.
