How do you get on the Paleo diet?

Answer 1

You get on the Paleo diet by eating the way our ancestors ate. This means a diet rich in lean meats and fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. Unprocessed natural foods. Those are the foods our ancestors ate. Our bodies are designed to eat such foods. Our ancient ancestors did not have refined processed carbohydrates.

Consequently, those ancestors were much fitter and leaner than we are. Not many of us would be match for them. Our bodies do not flourish on refined processed carbohydrates because our ancestors did not evolve eating such foods. Less than 1/10th of 1% of our genes have changed in the last 10,000 years. In terms of evolution, it is not that long ago. The diseases, often referred to as diseases of Western civilization, such as obesity, hypertension, Diabetes, dental caries, Heart disease, and others, became pervasive in developed countries in the twentieth century primarily because of a diet high in refined carbohydrates.
