Paleo Diet

Term	Definition
Paleo Diet	The Paleo Diet has gained a lot of traction in the last few years as Americans have begun to yearn for the simpler lifestyle once lead by the caveman. It's an easy leap: processed foods and carb-obsessed eating patterns weren't things that the cave dwellers had access to. Paleo Diet-enthusiasts say we should get back to our roots; if a caveman didn't eat it, you shouldn't either. No more refined sugar, dairy, legumes, or grains; your entire plate should be filled with meat, fish, poultry, fruits, and vegetables. The diet hasn't been deeply researched, it's extremely restrictive, and health experts generally discourage eating so much red meat. Though there's no set exercise plan, Paleo dieters are encouraged to move as much as their hunter-gatherer ancestors.
