How Can Vegetarians Turn Paleo Without Eating Meat? Its sounds completely UNPALEO since eating animal fats is the primary food source for Paleo lifers. Most people alter the Paleo diet anyway, and that’s what will have to happen for the avid Paleo Vegetarian. A healthy lifestyle can be balanced without eating meat with altering each diet to fit individual needs. We still need the everyday essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, minerals, fats, protein, and carbohydrates to function normally. To help the modern day Paleo Vegetarian figure out what to eat, here’s a list of foods that can be eaten to fit the new age Paleolithic Vegetarian lifestyle. All fruits and vegetables excluding excessive amounts of bananas, dates, figs and red apples Pastured eggs Chia, hemp, and flax seeds Avocado, sardines or small fish (if fish is consumed) – omega 3 fatty acids, fats Sweet potatoes, non starchy root vegetables, squashes Raw chocolate Fermented foods such as sauerkraut Mushrooms such as shitake, Portobello, maitake, Quorn (fungi- avoid if candida prone), raw spirulina Soaked and sprouted beans, buckwheat, nuts and seeds in moderation Nut butters and milks These are just examples of living a meatless Paleo lifestyle. It’s okay to modify and adjust to your personal needs and preference. In short, we CAN unite Paleo and Vegetarianism. The important factor is to avoid gluten containing grains, and lectins and ensure a balance of vitamins and minerals. For those who are on the Vegetarian fence, now you know you have options, no one has to eat meat at every meal just to call it Paleo. It’s better for our body to eat ALL foods in moderation and continue an awareness of the quality of food that we’re consuming. Paying attention to your body and realizing how to fuel it is essential. Educate yourself on what your body needs for optimal health. You don’t have to sacrifice your health while sparing animals lives. In fact, we all should have a part in helping animals be well. Our health counts on it!
