Eating Paleo Around the World: Må bra med stenåldersmat

Interested in seeing the blogs of Swedes eating paleo, I did a search for stenåldersmat, which roughly translates to Stone Age Food. A good word to know in case you have to explain your diet to a Swedish person for some strange reason.

Chicken meatballs, eggs, mango, avocado

I found this blog, the pictures are really lovely and even if you don't know Swedish, the meals look great. The title of the blog in English is Wellness with Stone Age Food.

Sweden is home to both Paleo diet researcher Staffan Lindeberg and low-carb maven Dr. Annika Dahlqvist. Annika is like the Swedish Dr. Eades and you can read her blog in weirdly translated English here. Incidentally, she has also used the diet to treat IBS.

Sweden also has a large population of celiacs, so gluten-free (gluten-fri) is well understood by most restaurants and every grocery store has a wealth of gluten-free products. While soy and oat milks are popular, almond and other nut milks are unheard of.

This blog discusses the major obstacles to eating paleo in Sweden: godis (mixed candies, typically gummies and licorice), fried snacks, and the popularity of carby alcoholic drinks.
