What is Paleo?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe Paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0diet is basically based on foods that were available to early people during the Paleolithic period (from 10,000 years to 2.5 million years ago!). <\/span>As you can imagine, we consider this diet to be simple, even primitive – it includes anything that could be collected or caught – fruits, vegetables and meat. <\/span>Many people follow the ” <\/span><\/span><\/span>paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>path\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>” for reasons such as improved blood sugar, weight loss, better bowel function, and \/ or autoimmune health.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFoods banned from the\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0diet include cereals, refined sugar, beans and legumes, potatoes, processed foods, salt, refined vegetable oils, and dairy products.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0is generally a diet rich in protein, fiber and moderate carbohydrates ( <\/span><\/span><\/span>less <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0than a standard Western diet). <\/span>Since all processed foods are <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0banned <\/span><\/span>in the\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>diet, the vast majority of carbohydrates come from vegetables and fruits.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n

\"keto<\/span>What is a keto?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nMost people adopting a\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>ketogenic <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0diet usually have one\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>goal – to lose weight <\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span>Of course, diet offers many other health benefits, but weight loss is the most popular reason to try keto. <\/span>The goal of keta is\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>to enter ketosis<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b> , a metabolic condition in which your body burns fatty acids instead of glucose for energy, producing ketones that can help you lose weight fast.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe keto diet emphasizes your\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>macros – and <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0these can vary from person to person, but usually only 5% of the caloric budget is carbohydrates and most must be 75-80% fat. <\/span>While no food group is banned in the keto diet, carbohydrate restriction will definitely force you to focus on that small amount. <\/span>This means that you will probably have to reduce fruits and vegetables in your diet and give up foods such as rice, legumes and cereals.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Similarities<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThese two diets seem completely different, don’t they? <\/span>Surprisingly, they have a few aspects in common. <\/span>Both diets:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • They avoid cereals, legumes and refined sugar<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • They emphasize healthy fats such as seeds, avocados, and unrefined oils<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
    • They promote an adequate intake of animal protein.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
    • They encourage the consumption of low-sugar vegetables and leafy vegetables.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n

      \"paleo<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

      Paleo vs Keto: Differences<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nOf course, these diets have more differences than similarities. <\/span>Here are just a few:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      • Keto focuses on macros, while Paleo focuses more on the type of food consumed. <\/span>Paleo is not quite a low carb diet, while keto is.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
      • Paleo bans dairy products, while full-fat dairy products are an integral part of the keto diet.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
      • The keto diet is done correctly by testing for ketones in the blood to confirm ketosis, while adhering to the paleo diet means only consuming specified types of food.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
      • In the\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0diet fruits and vegetables are not limited, while in the keto diet it is very limited (except for leafy and\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>non-starch <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0vegetables)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

        Can you stick to the paleo and keto diet at the same time?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nIf you really\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>want to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i> , definitely! <\/span>It would be a very restrictive diet and would require a lot of planning, but it is possible. <\/span>The Paleo-keto diet looks like this:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
          \r\n \t
        • Eliminate dairy products, except ghee and grass-fed butter<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
        • If you need to harmonize, choose with zero calories (such as stevia)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
        • If possible, choose animal proteins fed by grass or pasture.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
        • Limit your carbohydrate intake to stay within the daily limit of keto makers to enter ketosis.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nSo what does all this mean? <\/span>Basically, if weight loss is what you are looking for, a keto is probably your better option. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0You can definitely lose weight <\/span><\/span>on the\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>diet, but most people choose it because of various health reasons or\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>personal <\/span><\/span><\/span>preferences.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\r\n

          \"paleoPaleo vs Keto: Which one is better for weight loss?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nIf you decided to lose a few pounds before the summer, you are probably looking for an effective eating plan that will help you with that. <\/span>It doesn’t make sense to go through the whole process if the weight returns once you start eating carbs, right?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to weight loss, both will bring you fantastic results. <\/span>First it is the\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>weight of water <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0and then the excess fat. <\/span>But once you’re done with restraint mode, you need to find a way to keep your weight out. <\/span>This means that you will have to choose a sustainable diet that will fit your lifestyle.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

          So which will help you drop more and faster?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\nIf you eat a lot of carbohydrates, whole foods and then switch to\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>or Keto, both diets will work wonders. <\/span>But remember that the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0diet <\/span><\/span><\/span>alone\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>will not guarantee you weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>The Paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0diet contains many great\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>foods – nutritious <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0fruits and vegetables, but if you do not pay attention to calories, you will not lose weight. <\/span>You especially need to watch out for the habit of eating high calorie snacks, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios. <\/span>You can <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0even gain <\/span><\/span><\/span>weight <\/span><\/span><\/span>on the\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Paleo <\/span><\/span><\/span>diet if you are not careful enough!<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to paleo vs keto and weight loss effectiveness, keto is a guaranteed winner. <\/span>People on a keto diet usually don’t care about calories because they tend to eat less. <\/span>The ketosis process itself also helps you lose weight (you use fat as fuel!). <\/span>In addition, it is quite unlikely that you will eat snacks if you eat roast chicken, salads, or eggs. <\/span>And because you don’t eat carbs, you really will eat less.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to the keto diet, there is another psychological advantage. <\/span>Because the results arrive very quickly (you can literally see them within a week), you will feel motivated on the way the keto continues. <\/span>The result is weight loss.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
