This diet calls for lots of good animal meat and vegetables. The diet omits grains, rice, beans and to some, dairy. Dairy remains a point of contention among many sources. But basically, if your meals consist of good, grass-fed meat and a ton of veggies, then you’re on the right track.
Eating Paleolithic spawns from the premise that modern humans are genetically adapted to the diet of their Paleolithic ancestors and therefore an ideal diet for human health and well-being is one that resembles this ancestral diet. Ancient man was lean, agile, strong and possessed great endurance. Part of that was because he had to hunt and forge for his own food. However in modern day, we participate in regular exercise to simulate this trait.
So what ruined it for us? Agriculture.
10,000 years ago we figured out how to farm. This allowed us to concentrate and control crop growing. Gone were the days of forging, we could simply walk out to our yard and pick what we wanted. We also figured out how to grow and mill grains, legumes, refine sugar and create processed oils — all of which can be linked to obesity, cardivascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, autoimmune diseases, acne and depression.
