A Paleo diet or what we call the Paleolithic diet includes the items people used to eat in previous times. Rubina Ratnakar provides you all information about a Paleo diet.
A Paleo diet includes foods that were obtained in previous times by hunting and gathering. It includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fishes, meat, etc. In earlier times, people used to be fitter and disease-free. That was all due to the diet of the people in those times. A Paleo diet is popular these days because people want to be fit and strong like the previous times. It will help in losing weight. The basic idea behind adopting a Paleo diet is to eat whole foods rather than processed ones.
