Paleolithic diet

The paleolithic diet (also called the paleo diet, caveman diet or stone-age diet) is a diet based mainly on foods similar to those supposedly available to early humans in prehistoric times. It is based on what proponents claim paleolithic humans likely would have eaten, such lean meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, root vegetables, eggs, and nuts. It excludes foods such as dairy products, grains, sugar, legumes, processed oils, salt, and alcohol or coffee. Scientists acknowledge that the diets of our predecessors went through a fundamental change with the addition of meat. Evolutionary biology can have influence on food and health, but nutrition is very complex.
