This diet was developed by Loren Cordain, PhD, a researcher from Colorado State University, who started doing studies in the 1970s. He says that the paleo diet is the way humans were genetically designed to eat. Let’s explore these facts:
We are not cavemen.
Recent studies suggest that early man was more of a vegetarian (plant eater) and not as much of a carnivore (meat eater).
Most of us don’t have to hunt for our food.
We have many food choices available.
There has been a lot of research on the health benefits of foods that are not part of the paleo diet.
