The Paleo Diet is a diet created by professor Loren Cordain. Cordain believes the right way to eat is to imitate the way our ancestors ate. This means sticking to foods that are as close to possible to their natural state and avoiding processed foods. Meats, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables are all acceptable in the Paleo Diet. Grains are not.
