PALEO MANILA
In April 2014, three lifelong friends— Trisha Lee, Genevieve Gabionza, and Isabelle Chiang—turned their “deeprooted, explicit ardor for good food” into a movement to inform and encourage people to eat healthier—and Paleo Manila was born. “We noticed nutrition education in the Philippines is highly misunderstood and disregarded, thus the rampant and growing case of malnutrition, as well as obesity,” Isabelle tells Expat. “It wasn’t until we started studying the fundamentals and the logic behind the [Paleo] lifestyle…that we had a complete paradigm shift on our views of being fit and by choosing to live Paleo.” Living a Paleo lifestyle means going “back to eating how we’re biologically designed to eat, allowing us to tap into our genetic potential and start living healthier immediately.” According to Chiang, “all Paleo meals we serve [are] cooked the way nature intended using all natural ingredients—never packaged, never ready-made, all from scratch.” Paleo Manila believes in living and promoting a sustainable and balanced lifestyle. Chiang says, “We want our clients to eat better, do better, and in turn live better…Imagine having made-fromscratch, all-natural, gluten-free, Paleo meals delivered daily to your door. Having meal plans delivered and prepared for you will leave you free to concentrate on the other aspects of your weight-loss program.”

“A week into [the Paleo program], they start feeling better, knowing they’ve been consuming all-natural food. At two weeks, they start feeling leaner and cleaner and lose noticeable water weight. By three weeks, their sleeping cycles improve— leaving them with explosive energy fueling them more to do more the next day. And by the fourth week, their clothes start to fit better and lose body fat. After experiencing a month with us, most of them realize how leaving their nutrition to the Paleo Manila Team is more cost-efficient and convenient for them. And for most of them, they never look back,” Chiang explains.
A complete Paleo Manila meal plan consists of breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks. All meals are all-natural, glutenfree, dairy-free, GMO-free (genetically modified organisms), uses no food additives, no preservatives, and no chemicals. “It is suitable for celiacs, foodies, gourmands, diabetics, athletes, culinary adventurists and the carbohydrateconscious; and it suits all ages, kids to senior citizens,” Isabelle points out.
