Also on the approved Paleo menu are; organ meats (liver, kidneys, etc.), eggs (ideally organic and cage-free), certain fats (lard, coconut oil, tallow), and a variety of fresh fruits and veggies. Because this diet is all about doing things as nature intended, it pays to seek out organic produce that is in season and has been grown as close to home as possible.
Foods that are allowed in moderation include; nuts, seeds (like sesame and sunflower), tea, wine, spirits, honey (but only in the raw state), coffee and chocolate.
The Paleo diet shuns all highly processed foods, including refined sugars and carbs. On the no-go list are all types of grain, bread, pasta, cheese, milk, yogurt, other dairy products, sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, legumes (beans, peanuts, and peas), corn oil, soybean oil and processed meats (including bacon or hot dogs that have been made using additives and nitrates).
