Criticisms of the Paleo Diet
- “This type of diet can get expensive.” It is if you compare the cost of a paleo meal with ramen noodles or bread which contains loads of carbs and empty calories.
- “It’s difficult to eat Paleo in today’s society!” It requires careful planning and willpower but can be done.
- “But this is just a meat diet, and eating all meat is bad!” The biggest component of the diet is vegetables, not meat.
- “The Paleo Diet is too restrictive and I can’t live like this.” The goal is to rethink your relationship with food and develop a strategy that you can live with permanently.
