The paleo diet has been in

and out of favour for quite

some time. Advocating a fresh

wholefood approach to eating,

with an abundance of green

vegetables, good quality fats,

quality grass-fed protein and

sustainable wild-caught seafood,

the paleo diet can also be quite

restrictive, which turns a lot of

people off following it.

At the Natural Nutritionist

we take a ‘Just Eat Real Food’

( JERF) approach that has

definite similarities to the

paleo diet: we encourage people

to fill their plates with an

abundance of greens, a serve

of good-quality, grass-fed

protein or sustainable wild-

caught seafood, and good

quality fats. We also encourage

people to consume some foods

that would not fit a strict

paleo approach, including:

Rice malt syrup – made from

rice, is fructose friendly and a

great alternative sweetener.

Goat’s fetta – a more tolerable

form of casein (A2). If you have

a lactose intolerance, you may

find you can tolerate goat’s fetta.

Chickpeas – legumes,

including peanuts, are not

consumed on a paleo diet due to

the supposed high phytic acid

content. Paleo supporters believe

this interferes with nutrient

absorption, but new research now

shows this may not be an issue.

Regardless of labels or the

eating method you follow, the

benefits of incorporating a real

food lifestyle are plentiful. There

is no one perfect way of eating

that works for everyone. It’s

important to find an approach

that suits you – one that is

nutrient dense, sustainable

and enjoyable.

Our seven-day meal plan

puts a JERF twist on summer

barbecues and encompasses

nourishing food, perfect to

share and enjoy with friends

and family.
