Holiday Recipes: Paleo Diet

The Paleolithic Diet, also nicknamed the "paleo diet" or "caveman diet," is the newest diet trend to emerge. 
WebMD describes the Paleo Diet as a diet "based on the foods that could be hunted, fished, and gathered during the Paleolithic era -- meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, vegetables, roots, fruits, and berries."

  1. A paleo diet is one based on the premise that the optimal diet is that of our evolutionary ancestors during the paleolithic era. Since many diets fit this heuristic, many variants have been developed and popularised under names such as caveman diet, paleolithic diet, and primal diet

  2. Looks tasty. But I don't really believe Paleo diet can help to lose weight. I read on this website that it is absolutely useless.
