Yogurt: a hot button issue in the paleo community. the yogurt most people are buying and eating is a dairy product. that means it isn’t allowed on the strictest versions of the paleo diet (like the one created by dr. loren cordain). anti-dairy people in the paleo community argue that dairy consumption didn’t start until the neolithic period, which happened after the paleolithic.. This is a yogurt that is scd compliant. scd (specific carbohydrate diet) is a diet created to treat digestive issues ranging from ibs and ibd to crohn’s and even autism. it is very similar to paleo, but differs in the sense that it focuses heavily on probiotic foods and elimination of any form of starch.. From a strict paleo standpoint, dairy yogurt is not paleo, but pure non-dairy yogurts made from something like almond or coconut milk is fine. generally, the non-dairy yogurts available in supermarkets are laden with sugar and other undesirable ingredients, so read labels carefully..
The premise behind "eating paleo" is that the current western diet is contributing to the rise of chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease and cancer.. A paleo diet typically includes lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds — foods that in the past could be obtained by hunting and gathering. a paleo diet limits foods that became common when farming emerged about 10,000 years ago. these foods include dairy products, legumes and grains.. A lot of people following paleo won’t consume regular milk, cheese or yogurt, but will enjoy generous amounts of butter. i think it’s a sensible choice because it’s almost all fat and especially saturated fat with usually too little lactose to cause a problem..
