Gluten-free is a good start. But is it enough?
Let’s be real: the "gluten-free" label is everywhere. From packaged cookies to frozen pizza, it’s marketed like a health badge. But removing gluten doesn’t always mean the food is good for you.
If you’ve been eating gluten-free and wondering why you’re still not feeling your best, it might be time to look at the bigger picture.
Spoiler: that’s where paleo comes in.
So what’s the difference between gluten-free and paleo?
Gluten-free simply means products exclude gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. But many gluten-free foods still contain:
-
Refined sugar
-
Processed seed oils
-
Preservatives
-
Additives and fillers
-
Highly refined flours (like rice or corn starch)
Paleo, on the other hand, focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods. It eliminates:
-
All grains (including gluten-free grains)
-
Dairy
-
Legumes
-
Refined sugar and oils
-
Additives, gums, and processed ingredients
It’s not just about removing gluten. It’s about eating food your body recognizes.
Why Paleo Meal Delivery Makes It Easier
