Common Questions About Paleo

Can I eat beans on paleo?

No. Legumes like beans, lentils, and peanuts are excluded because they were not part of pre-agricultural diets.

Is dairy allowed?

Standard paleo excludes dairy. Some flexible versions allow grass-fed butter or full-fat cheese.

Are potatoes paleo?

White potatoes are debated. Sweet potatoes and other tubers are widely accepted on the diet.

Will I miss key nutrients?

Possibly calcium, vitamin D, and fiber from grains and dairy. A dietitian can help you plan around the gaps.

Can I drink alcohol?

Most alcohol is not paleo. It is processed and made from grains or sugar, so it is usually avoided.
