The Paleo Diet: Megan Fox's Weight Loss Secret

In the Stone Age about 3 million years ago, human ancestors lived in caves and ate fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and other natural foods that could not be stored for a long time and were not processed. Recently, a new weight loss trend has emerged in the United States, the "Paleo Diet", which advocates returning to the primitive diet of the Stone Age, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and effectively lose weight. Ray Allen, a veteran shooter for the Miami Heat of the NBA, recently used this method to drop from 94 kg to 89 kg; Megan Fox also revealed that she regained her figure quickly after giving birth through this weight loss method.

According to the American health information website "Live Strong", Dr. Laurent, a sports science doctor. Loren Cordain spent 20 years studying Paleolithic humans millions of years ago. Based on the dietary habits of human genes, he proposed a healthy diet plan suitable for modern people, which is to reject all processed refined foods, eat more lean meat and seafood, and exclude cereals, dairy products, beans, salt and other foods that are only available in agricultural societies.

• Avoid processed foods

In order to be quick and convenient, modern people often buy food out as a meal. However, taking convenience stores as an example, almost all of the food you see is processed food, such as canned food, instant noodles, biscuits, chocolate, microwave bento, etc. Most of them lack natural vitamins and minerals, and even contain high amounts of sodium and sugar, which can easily lead to common chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

• Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables

Vegetables and fruits are not only rich in minerals and vitamins, but the sugar in fruits is monosaccharide, which can be quickly absorbed by the body and provide the energy needed by the body. The fiber in vegetables can help intestinal peristalsis and help increase satiety and reduce appetite.

• Choose high-quality protein

Avoid eating processed meats such as hot dogs, sausages, ham, and bacon. Choose eggs, fish, and lean meat to supplement high-quality protein. Protein is an important fuel for body muscles. Only with enough protein can the body's basal metabolic rate be maintained and help maintain body muscles.

The benefit of the Paleo diet is that it avoids the chance of consuming high-fat or high-calorie foods, because the cause of obesity among modern people is mostly from unhealthy eating habits, such as fast food, sugary drinks, etc.; however, the concept of excluding carbohydrates and dairy products is controversial and can easily lead to problems such as osteoporosis. Therefore, when taking this low-carbohydrate diet similar to the "Akin Diet", it is not recommended to continue for a long time, or it should be implemented after consulting a doctor based on personal physical condition and health status.
