Weight Loss

To lose weight, create a calorie deficit, focus on nutrient-dense foods, manage portion sizes, and prioritize protein.

Weight Loss:

  • Create a calorie deficit: To lose weight, you generally need to consume fewer calories than your body needs. Aim for a moderate calorie deficit of around 500-1000 calories per day, which can lead to a gradual and sustainable weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week.
  • Focus on nutrient-dense foods: Choose whole, unprocessed foods that are rich in nutrients and low in calories. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your meals.
  • Be mindful of portion sizes: Pay attention to portion sizes to ensure you’re not consuming more calories than intended. Consider using smaller plates and bowls to help control portion sizes.
  • Prioritize protein: Including an adequate amount of protein in your meals can help you feel fuller for longer and preserve muscle mass during weight loss. Good sources of protein on the Paleo diet include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, and plant-based options like legumes and tofu (if you include them in your version of the Paleo diet).
