Is Paleo Diet Effective For Weight Loss?
Question: Is Paleo a good method for weight loss? does it have any side effects? if so what are the side effects
Brief Answer:
Unknown side effects....
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
There are no robust studies done on this type of diet plans. Hence precise benefits or the side effects from paleo diet are unknown.
In other words, you may or may not be benefitted by following paleo diet. Further, it is difficult to predict whether or not you will have an uneventful course of life /events during the trial with paleo diet. If you have already started this diet plan, it would be wise to discuss it with an experienced nutritionist - discuss if this regime will suit your needs. Further on, your progress should be constantly monitored and changes be done accordingly.
All these forms of weight loss options are still yet to be scientifically proven to be helpful. So, please be watchful.
Hope this helps.
Regards
