The Paleo Diet
People on the Paleo Diet (short for the Paleolithic Diet) only eat what people consumed between 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. Proponents claim that humans have not adjusted to modern food genetically, which many argue against. The diet emphasizes whole produce, meats, and fish that hunters and gatherers would have eaten.
Oddly enough, the concept behind Paleo is historically inaccurate. The diet removes grains, which Paleolithic people did eat back then. Still, there are some benefits to Paleo. A 2009 study claimed that Paleo improves symptoms of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
