Stone Age diet

The Paleo diet is inspired in the alimentation that would have been common during the Paleolithic period, also known as the Stone Age, when there was a prevalence of fruit and vegetables. It’s based around groups of permitted foods and those which you should avoid. Among the allowed foods are grass-fed meat, free range chicken, fish, seafood and free range eggs.

Dried fruits and nuts are also allowed as are vegetables, fresh fruit and healthy fats such as coconut, olive and avocado oils.
