The Paleo Diet is trendy. Also known as the Caveman or Stone Age diet, paleo plans follow in our hunter-gatherer ancestors’ footsteps and consume what was available to them. Highly-researched and more popular than ever, the nutrition plan emphasizes wild plants and animal protein, while banishing food groups like dairy, wheat, corn, and sugar.

If this way of eating existed many, many centuries ago, what explains the recent mouse clicks and attention? Well, the caveman cuisine avoids all processed foods and sugary snacks. Cutting refined foods gives your health and energy levels a friendly boost. The lifestyle slashes carbs from your diet and increases your consumption of healthy fats, which can support weight loss goals.
