Diet Doc’s Physician Team Assesses the Recent Changes in the Paleo Diet

Denver, CO, Aug. 23, 2017 -- The Paleo Diet or ‘eating like a caveman’ is supported by premise that consuming the same food our ancestors did will result in leaner and healthier bodies. Paleo dieting requires high amounts of healthy proteins: fatty fish, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and good fats. No processed foods are allowed along with the removal of potatoes, dairy, added sugars and sodium. Paleo dieters must also remove dairy, potatoes, sodium and sugar from the diet. Many are deriving benefits from eating paleo including lowered blood pressure, regulated insulin levels and inflammation reduction.

Dr. Nishant Rao medical director of the doctor-supervised medical weight loss program, Diet Doc recommends the paleo diet and utilizes it as part of Diet Doc’s customized diet plans. “The blueprint for eating from the paleo diet is excellent, Diet Doc recommends foods from the same groups and also suggests eliminating obvious unhealthy processed foods from our diets.” However, Dr. Rao wants consumers who are interested in paleo to keep a few things in mind. “The Paleo Diet in many ways has changed over the last five years as research has shown that there really is no one paleo diet because our ancestors ate dramatically different diets depending on the specific region in which they were located.” Regardless of region, the paleo diet essentially eliminates food that did not exist during ancestral times. Doctors of Diet Doc collectively state, “Instead of eating processed foods or simple sugars and carbs, vegetable starch, animal protein and fibrous vegetables are preferred.”

As great as this sounds, Diet Doc’s medical team with each of their patients to develop individualized weight loss program specifically made to address each unique body composition. Dr. Rao believes that the paleo diet may not address these needs in a satisfactory way that produces fast weight loss benefits. “The Paleo Diet is however extremely vague in terms of how much of each macronutrient people should consume and part of that reason is the variety in the historical record.” What people can take from the paleo diet is to eliminate their dependency on modern food products, but when it comes to efficient weight loss, Dr. Rao emphasizes that the best route is to “build diets and determine macronutrient needs based on body metrics and activity level which is universal regardless of ancestry or diet philosophy.”
