FAQs
What if I'm lactose intolerant but want to still eat some dairy?
Some people with lactose intolerance can tolerate small amounts of dairy, especially fermented products like kefir and yogurt which contain less lactose. Hard aged cheeses also have minimal lactose. Goat or sheep products may also be easier to digest.
Can I have gluten-free grains like rice or oats?
Strict paleo avoids all grains, even gluten-free ones, as they are still calorically dense with digestive-irritating compounds. Some paleo followers include white rice and gluten-free oats in moderation.
What if I don't eat red meat?
The paleo diet doesn't require red meat - focus instead on poultry, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins like nuts and seeds if you avoid beef and lamb.
Is paleo safe for kids?
Yes, but adjustments may need to be made to ensure adequate calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals for growing children. Consult a pediatrician or dietitian to craft a customized paleo plan.
