HOW OFTEN CAN I EAT ON THE PALEO DIET
BY TONY G ELAM
The simple answer is to eat when you are hungry. If you are following the paleo diet, then you
are eating more satiating foods and are less likely to over indulge, if you are eating high quality,
whole foods.
I doubt you ever heard anyone say "I just couldn't stop eating that bag of broccoli", or "I just ate 6
grass fed steaks without knowing what happened.‘
The point is that once you stop eating highly processed foods, including foods with high salt and
processed sugars, your instinctual hung pangs will come back. It may take some time to learn to
listen to them, but they will come back.
So when do I eat?
In general I would stick to 3- 4 meals a day, but this really depends on your goals and activity
level. It also depends on you mix of carbohydrates and how well your body is adapted to burning
fat?
Eating within the first 30 minutes of the day may be effective for burning fat. Also cutting your
meals off a few hours before bedtime may be healthy as well.

If you are trying to wean you self off of sugar you may eat every 2 to 3 hours as you control the
carbs to 150 on the day. You may find that once you are getting your primary carb source from
sweet potatoes, vegetables, and fruit that you are able to control you cravings a little better.
Post Workout
The best time to eat carbohydrates for many would be after a workout. Your body will make the
best use of a piece of fruit or a sweet potato if you eat it within 30 minutes post workout.
Do I need Snacks?
If you are eating regular meals you really shouldn't need snacks, but you might find that you
want one anyway, or your hunger might sneak up on you if you get busy at work. It's a good idea
to keep some high quality Paleo Snacks on hand like a handful of almonds, and a piece of dark
chocolate.
Fasting
There is some debate of the value on intermittent fasting, but you find that the benefit may not be
worth the sacrifice. You will find that it is easier to skip meals due to the lack of sugar spikes.
This makes it easier to make better choices in the occasional case you are not prepared to eat at
your normal time.
I hope this helps but, overall I think the best advice is to eat whole foods, and eat when your
body needs it.
Have a good day!
