It can be frustrating to start on a Paleo Diet, watch other people see results, but no matter how hard you try, you don’t see the scale budge…
What’s going on?
Before you conclude that the Paleo Diet doesn’t work, let’s do some troubleshooting and help you become a Paleo Success Story…
The first thing I would ask people who struggle to lose weight is one simple question…
How are your energy levels?
The reason this question is so important is because the body burns fat when it produces energy…
If you are not producing enough energy, then your body won’t be efficient at burning fat…
That’s why people with low energy have a hard time losing weight…
If you have low energy, you can eat less, exercise more, cut out grains, go low carb, do keto, drink smoothies… basically try everything and nothing works…
I know this, because that’s exactly what I went through…
I felt tired all the time, would toss and turn all night… I’d wake up and walk like a zombie…
No matter what I did, I could not lose weight….
When I learned that I had to get more energy to burn fat, everything changed…
I stopped counting calories, worrying about eating the perfect Paleo diet recipe… none of that mattered…
How do you lose weight on the Paleo Diet?
Once you understand that fat burning happens when the body produces energy, then the next logical question to ask is…
How do you get more energy?
This is a lot easier than you might think…
The probiotics that live in your gut are the ones responsible for breaking down food and providing those nutrients to the cells of your body… this process is what produces energy…
What affects this process most?
Your gut flora…
How healthy are the probiotics that live in your gut and what other bad bacteria is living there?
Do you get gas, bloating or constipation?
Those are all signs that you may need to do a major gut cleanse…
Here’s why bad bacteria is considered bad…
When you eat, the probiotics in your gut (good bacteria) are supposed to take the nutrients from food and make vitamins and other key nutrients for you… they produce energy, hormones and perform other things that keep you healthy…
… but when you have bad bacteria, what happens is that bad bacteria steals nutrients from the food you eat and instead of making vitamins, they produce toxic waste…
That toxic waste is bad for the body… so your body takes those toxins and stuffs them into your fat cells to protect itself… the more toxic you are, the bigger your fat cells get…
The more toxic your body is, the more likely you are to grow more bad bacteria in your gut, which becomes a vicious cycle…
When you have bad bacteria in your gut, then it doesn’t matter if the food you eat is Paleo… it doesn’t matter if it’s organic or any of that, because at the end of the day you are feeding bad bacteria…
If you are wondering “why am I not losing weight on a paleo diet?”, then know this…
Growing healthy probiotics in your gut is the most effective way to get more energy and lose weight…
This is at the core of what we do here that has created so many Paleo Success Stories…
