GlossaryPaleo Diet

emphasizes whole foods similar to early human hunter-gatherers

The Paleo Diet, also known as the Paleolithic Diet or Caveman Diet, is a nutritional plan based on the presumed diet of early humans during the Paleolithic era. It emphasizes the consumption of whole foods such as lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, while excluding processed foods, grains, legumes, and dairy. The diet aims to mimic the eating habits of hunter-gatherers, promoting foods that could be obtained through hunting and foraging.
