The Paleo Diet isn’t really a weight loss diet, but a type of lifestyle that is easily sustainable in the long run. The main objective of the paleo diet is eating food that humans were genetically adapted to, in order to avoid suffering from modern diseases of civilization. This includes obesity and excessive weight gain, and the Paleo diet has shown to be effective for weight loss. However, there are some things that can hinder weight loss on the paleo diet, and things that can be done in order to accelerate burning of fat.

These include:

• Eat less nuts. Although nuts are very healthy for us, and definitely encouraged, they have a really high caloric density and when eaten between meals they can add up to a massive energy load. If you find that weight loss has stalled on the paleo diet, try cutting back on them a bit.

• Reduce fruit consumption. Although fruits are generally considered healthy for us, and most certainly a healthier choice than the other major carb sources on the standard western diet, they do have quite a bit of sugar in them. I think eating a few pieces of fruit every day is fine, but for people who are very carb sensitive it might be a good idea to minimize or even eliminate them.

• Try intermittent fasting every now and then. Fasting isn’t for everyone, but when following a diet that has a pretty low carb load then blood sugar levels become much more stable and short periods of fasting become a lot easier. Many have gotten great results by skipping a few meals every now and then. If the body fat isn’t coming off, then intermittent fasting might do the trick.
