PALEO

The paleo diet seeks to replicate the eating patterns thought to be used during the Paleolithic era, dating from 2.5 million years ago to just before the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago. Typical foods include those that were either hunted or gathered such as lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The paleo (aka Stone-Age or hunter gatherer) diet aims to exclude farmed foods such as grains, legumes and dairy, which many believe we are genetically mismatched for.
