The Paleo diet consists of foods that were only available and consumed by our prehistoric ancestors, dating back to perhaps ten million years ago. It consisted of all \u2018hunter-gather\u2019 food that could be found in the areas in which early human beings lived. The simple food items mentioned were probably consumed for millions of years, a diet that agreed with the early human body and didn\u2019t start to change until simple farming began around 12 thousand years ago. Paleo enthusiasts believe that our bodies are not built to eat modern types of food, resulting in overweight, obesity and diabetes along with other internal problems. On the Paleo, (palaeolithic) diet it is recommended that you only eat fruits, eggs, vegetables, nuts and seeds, fish and lean meat and oils from nuts and seeds such as olive oil and walnut oil. This diet, advises that you avoid, dairy products: like cheese and milk, refined sugar, added salt, legumes: like beans, lentils, peanuts and grains, like wheat, barley and oats, and starchy vegetables like potatoes. Whereas, this diet appears interesting, I personally wouldn\u2019t recommend you try it for longer than a week. On the upside, it would discourage you from eating fatty, refined and ultra-processed foods, and may assist in you losing some weight. However, on the down side it falls short of dietary fibre, which could cause other problems. So, if you are interested, check it out well, give it a go and let me know how you got on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
