HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN

The Paleo Diet is packed with lean meats, seafood and eggs. Choosing these high-quality proteins is a priority at each meal. A protein-adequate diet will help stabilize blood sugar, promote cell growth and the production of digestive enzymes and repair and maintain the immune system. Protein will also help increase your metabolic rate, decrease your appetite and provide essential amino acids that are critical for optimum metabolic functioning, while stimulating the production of glucagon, a fat- releasing hormone. Every meal or snack should include a high- quality protein source.
