Key Ideas
Replacing protein
Protein is not just found in meat. It is also found in grains and vegetables. And if you are getting enough calories, then you are getting enough protein.
Try to keep the daily mix of what you eat to 80% plant matter and 20% meat, dairy, and seafood.
Eat Beans
Beans come in many varieties and are excellent stand-ins for meat in certain recipes.
Cooking the beans yourself provides a better flavor and texture, but canned beans are also a good alternative as convenience food.

Elevate Your Tofu Game
Not everyone enjoys tofu. However, it is tasty to pair tofu with ingredients with pizazz. Miso, soy sauce, mushrooms, hot sauce, and fermented black beans or even a small amount of meat will increase the flavor.
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and nut butters are a great way to round out a plate of roasted, steamed or raw vegetables.
Vegan cheese, made from cashews, is also a great treat.
Plant-Based Meats
Plant-based sausages are a starting point for people who want to cut down on their meat intake.
Of the various kinds of vegan meats, seitan's chewy texture and slightly earthy flavor can be delightful.
Make Every Bite of Real Meat Count
When eating less meat, every single bite needs to hold its own.
Instead of a chicken breast, try a smaller Italian turkey sausage, sautéed until crisp over a spinach salad. Or cured pork with roasted vegetables and grains, pasta and salads. Bone broth in mushroom Bourguignon supplies a savory character without adding any actual meat.

Here's the ENTIRE diet in a nutshell: If a caveperson didn't eat it, neither should you. Now, obviously there's more to it than that - especially considering it doesn't REALLY matter what cavemen ate in order for you to lose weight and get healthier. But I'll get to that later.

Key Ideas
The Paleo Diet
The Paleo Diet is an effort to go back to eating how we’re biologically designed to eat, allowing us to tap into our genetic potential and start living healthier immediately.
Lose weight on the Paleo Diet
- Eat fewer calories than you burn every day.
- Eat mostly real food if you want to be healthy.
- Do those two things consistently for a decade to KEEP the weight off.
When you only eat real food and avoid all unhealthy food, you’re more likely than not going to run a caloric deficit – and thus lose weight.
Eat the following:
- Meat – GRASS-FED, not grain-fed.
- Fowl – Chicken, duck, hen, turkey.
- Fish – Wild fish, as mercury and other toxins can be an issue in farmed fish
- Eggs – Omega-3 enriched cage free eggs.
- Vegetables – As long as they’re not deep-fried, eat as many as you want.
- Oils – Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil – think natural.
- Fruits – Fruits have natural sugar, and can be higher in calories, so limit if you’re trying to lose weight.
- Nuts – High in calories, so they’re good for a snack only.
- Tubers – Sweet potatoes and yams. Higher in calories and carbs.
