While different diets work for different people, I found that I feel my best when I am on the paleo diet, also known as the caveman diet.
Taking you back to the Paleolithic era before processed food, the paleo diet follows a “hunt and gather” concept as it includes lean meats, fruits, vegetables, seafood and different types of nuts and seeds.
On my journey to look for delicious paleo recipes, I found the mobile application-only available on the App Store — Paleo Plate, which taught me so many amazing dishes that made it easy for me to let go of bread, rice, and any other type of refined carbohydrates. 
It has recipes by sections; beef, vegetarian, seafood poultry, breakfast, side dishes and dessert.
Diving into the seafood section, I tried the app’s tuna and grilled zucchini salad, and paleo fish sticks (the breading is made with dried vegetable chips and almonds after using a food processor).
I love how organized the application is as it has a clear instruction guide and ingredients list with estimated preparation time and number of servings.

They also have an “Is it Paleo?” section where you can type in any ingredient for the app to filter whether it is paleo or not. It already has a long list of what is paleo such as almond butter, extract and flour, bamboo shoots, avocado oil, applesauce and more, and what is not paleo such as apricot kernels, barley, buckwheat, canola oil and other examples.
This makes grocery shopping easier and more time-efficient as I know exactly what to buy and what to avoid.
