Paleo Diet – The Paleolithic Diet, also known as the Paleo Diet or
the Caveman Diet, involves eating foods that were consumed by those living during the Paleolithic times some 10,000 years ago. The concept behind the diet rests on the hypothesis that our bodies are genetically and evolutionary designed to survive and thrive on the foods that were available to our early Paleolithic ancestors, such as meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots and nuts.
Because it’s virtually carb- and dairy-free, this means paleo dieters avoid grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar or processed oils as these types of food took place before the development of agriculture. As for what a typical day on the Paleo diet might include, breakfast could be scrambled eggs with a side of fresh berries, lunch a green salad topped with grilled chicken breast or shrimp, and dinner a beef tenderloin with raw or steamed vegetables.
Pros include: Perfect for carnivores, losing weight fast, and building muscle. Cons include: Can be expensive and not ideal for those who don’t eat meat.
