Want arms like Popeye or a thin, curvy “bod” like Jennifer Aniston? Then you really do need to include more fibrous carbs into your diet. When I say fibrous carbs, I’m referring to the vegetables you know you should be eating, but decide to skip out on for fried chicken and mashed potatoes.

The Paleo diet is a protein-rich diet but that doesn’t mean it ignores carbs like the "Atkins" Diet – so don’t get the two confused! In fact, you can eat as many fibrous carbs as you want because unlike simple carbohydrates, the fiber in vegetables will delay digestion and the insulin spike will much smaller than any other type of food. 

Fibrous carbs won’t provide you with much energy, however they are packed with the vitamins and minerals you need to thrive. Many of anti-oxidants that fight cancer and other diseases are found in vegetables, so these are foods that you simply cannot ignore.  

The Paleo diet suggests you “eat the rainbow”, which means eat as wide a variety of vegetables as you can (plant-based eaters might hate on the Paleo diet, but in reality, we agree on most topics). 

By eating vegetables of every color, you ensure you get a variety of the many nutrients plants have to offer. You may not realize it, but the color of your vegetables can tell you a lot about the nutrients it contains. For example, orange foods like the sweet potato and carrot are rich in beta-carotene, a fat soluble anti-oxidant that is converted over to vitamin A.

While I suggest eating as wide a variety as you can, a few of my favorite green vegetables are spinach, asparagus, brocolli, and Brussels sprouts…or a classic mixed salad full of anything I can get my hands on.
