Popular Diets - The Paleolithic Diet

Popular Diets - The Paleolithic Diet: The Paleolithic Diet
The Paleolithic diet (abbreviated paleo diet or paleodiet) is also called the caveman diet, Stone Age diet, and the hunter-gatherer diet...


It tries to emulate the diet of wild plants and animals that various human species ate during the Paleolithic period. This period started some 2.5 million years ago and only ended about 10,000 years ago when agriculture developed. In common usage the Paleolithic diet also refers to the actual ancestral human diet. Today’s Paleolithic diet is mostly composed of lean meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts. As you may guess it excludes grains, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.

This review of the Paleolithic Diet continues on my website.
