The Paleolithic diet, or Paleo diet as it is commonly referred
to, is a diet that contains only natural foods that aim to help you
achieve great health. The diet is also called the 'Stone Age' diet and
it is a nutritional plan based on the assumed ancient diet of wild
plants and animals that were consumed by humans during the Paleolithic
era. The diet mostly consists of meat and eggs as the key components.
The animals from which the meat and eggs come from should have been fed
on a completely natural or organic diet. For example, an egg should be
from a fowl that is fed on greens, insects, grains, etc. Cattle should
have been fed on green pastures and fish must be wild and not bred in
human-run fish colonies. The Paleo diet is not just a diet but also a
lifestyle that encourages natural living that is in harmony with the
environment.
