That would include the meat and fish they hunted on their own, vegetables, fruits, nuts and a variety of berries. Your Paleo meal should ideally include all of these. Eggs, chicken, fish, lean meat, game meat, and all seasonal fruits and berries, vegetables and nuts are allowed. Artificial seasonings and sugar are a strict no! Though salt is also prohibited, initially you might use it in small amounts until you get used to not using it at all. Your daily meals can thus include your creativity in cooking and using a mix and match condition with different meats and veggies. Paleo meals are not meant to be consumed raw. They just need to be cooked in such a way and to a degree such that they do not end up losing their nutrients and valuable flavors. So using combinations of different such elements, good healthy seasonings and cooking in the right way, Paleo meals can be made well and tasty. Firstly, it is always beneficial to consult a nutritionist or dietician to get to know the recipes better. Also, feel free to discuss with friends and relatives. This way you can spread the good word and can also get newer recipes. And of course, never stop experimenting!
