What is the Paleo Diet?

The Paleo diet mimics what our Palaeolithic ancestors ate before agriculture. It focuses on whole, unprocessed foods that could have been hunted or gathered — meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds — while eliminating grains, legumes, dairy, and refined sugars.

Key Principles

  • No grains (wheat, rice, oats, corn, barley)
  • No legumes (beans, peanuts, lentils, chickpeas)
  • No dairy (some strict Paleo allows ghee)
  • No refined sugars or processed foods
  • Natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup are allowed
