Fabulous Fruit

Yup.  Fruit is paleo.  Tasty and nutritious!

But watch how much you're throwin down the hatch.  It was rare that cavemen could treat themselves to a delicious apple or a handful of blueberries.  While taking on this 36 day Paleo challenge, try limiting your fruit intake to once per day.

The reason?  Fruit has a higher fructose to glucose ratio and produces a spike in insulin (not a good thing).

If you're gonna treat on caveman candy (fruits) limit the consumption and keep it to apples, berries, and melons.  

And don't worry, it's not the end of the world if you go on a berry-binge.  Just pick back up at your next meal.
