Paleo Food List

Meat and Protein

Buy from a local farm and organic, if possible. Buy meat that has lived a pampered life outside and free to roam. Each type of meat has it’s own way saying it was raised outdoors. Buy eggs from free-range poultry (higher in Omega-3 fatty acids).

For fish, wild caught fattier fish are best. They are higher in Omega-3 fatty acids.
