Modern Paleo Made Simple: A Beginner’s Guide

Starting a Paleo lifestyle can feel overwhelming — new ingredients, new cooking methods, and a sea of rules. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. Modern Paleo is about nourishing your body, restoring energy, and enjoying your meals — not chasing perfection.


1️⃣ What is Modern Paleo?

Modern Paleo focuses on whole, unprocessed foods inspired by ancestral diets — vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats — while avoiding grains, dairy, legumes, and processed sugar.

2️⃣ AIP-Friendly Adjustments

For autoimmune-friendly needs, swap eggs, nightshades, and nuts with approved alternatives:

Use pumpkin seeds instead of almonds

Replace nightshades with squash or cauliflower

Omit eggs or use gelatin-based substitutes

3️⃣ Getting Started in the Kitchen

Stock your pantry with essentials (coconut oil, ghee, herbs, spices).

Start simple: choose 3–5 favorite recipes and rotate them.

Batch cook proteins and roasted vegetables for quick meals.
