Flexible Eating on The Paleo Diet

The Paleo Diet® is built to support a stronger, healthier body and mind while still giving you room to personalize it. There’s no calorie counting and no strict macronutrient ratios. The Paleo Diet is designed so you can make it your own. Eating Paleo at least 85% of the time is enough to see real benefits. You can be 100% Paleo and still have room to adjust. Because if you’re not happy with what you’re eating, you won’t stick with it.

What is PaleoFLEX?

You don’t have to meet some standard of perfection to get naturally strong and healthy on The Paleo Diet. PaleoFLEX foods keep you on the road to strong and healthy, but “flex” a little so you can eat happier and healthier for a lifetime. In this category, you can enjoy a bit more natural sugar, including a few that aren’t included in TRUEPALEO™, like agave nectar. You can also have a small amount of added sodium.
