Why Paleo Eaters Are Sexy

Whenever I hang out with a bunch of Paleo eaters, I notice something interesting: they're really sexy, in a healthy, natural way.

Here's why Paleo eaters are sexy:

Huge amounts of energy

This is how I know the Paleo diet works. If our bodies were not meant to eat the types of food we classify as "Paleo," we wouldn't have so much energy. But Paleo eaters are brimming with energy.

If you want to increase your energy right now, today, you should do 2 things:

get the gluten out of your diet (good-bye, grains)
eat more healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil, almond butter and whole eggs

Then, if you really want to feel like a million bucks, take a long walk in a park or near water, followed by a solid 8 hours of sleep. You'll wake up energetic and much sexier!

Clear skin & bright eyes

A Paleo-eating friend pointed out to me that Paleo eaters have brighter eyes and clearer skin than most people. I've noticed that too. Paleo eaters look healthy. Looking healthy is the result of a high-nutrient diet, active lifestyle and balanced endocrine system. In other words, looking healthy is a result of acting healthy. You won't find Paleo eaters sitting around eating chips in front of the TV.

Lean bodies

Anywhere you go these days, there are overweight people. But not at Paleo events. Look around a group of Paleo devotees and not only will you not see any overweight people, you'll see a lot of really lean people.

Happy Demeanors

A funny thing happens when you lower your processed carb intake and eat plenty of high-quality protein and fat: you start to feel better. When you add in things like spending time outdoors, doing workouts that actually work and sleeping more, your whole outlook on life starts to shift. Life starts to look pretty good when you're living in tune with what your body wants, instead of fighting against it.

Tan lines

Yes, it's true. Paleo fans aren't afraid of a little sun. Our bodies like sun, just not too much. Spending some time outdoors in sunlight can do wonders for your health.

A willingness to share

Just like our moms taught us, Paleo eaters are big into sharing. Whether it's a personal success story, a favorite recipe, or tips on how to cook a whole pig, Paleo lovers have got you covered. And that's sexy!
