Introduction

The Paleolithic diet, also known as the caveman diet, is a nutritional plan based on wild plant and animal based food sources. The dietary regiment mimics that of pre-agriculture hunter-gatherers. All humans consumed this diet in the Paleolithic era that began 2.5 million years ago and continued until 10,000 years ago when the development of agriculture introduced grain-based diets. The premise of Paleolithic eating is that humans are genetically adapted to the diet which every person consumed for a large portion of our history. It is composed of meats, seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Practitioners of this diet should consume 60% animal foods and 40% plant foods. The diet excludes cereal grains, legumes, dairy, refined sugar, processed foods, salt and refined vegetable oils. The framework includes higher intake of protein, fiber, potassium, omega 6 and 3 polyunsaturated/ monounsaturated fats, alkaline foods, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants
