The Paleolithic diet is a dietary strategy based on eating plant and animals that our ancestors consumed ten thousand years ago. The rationale for this approach is that our bodies evolved eating these foods. Foods that can be eaten include berries, eggs, fruit, meat, fish, roots, nuts and vegetables.
Paleolithic
It is not OK on the Paleolithic diet if the fish sauce comes from a tin or packet or is thickened with a grain or grain derivative or dairy product or anything similar. If it is your own fish stock and completely natural, then it is acceptable on the Paleolithic diet.
This article is about a modern nutritional approach. For information on the dietary practices of Paleolithic humans, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic#Diet_and_nutrition
You can find out about the paleolithic diet by going to your local bookstore and reading doctor approved books about them. Always make sure what you are reading is authentically and clinically approved.
There is no organization dedicated specifically to training and certification of Paleolithic diet advisors, although a substantial number of scientists, physicians, and nutritionists are interested in the subject and can provide advice.
The best source of information on paleolithic diets would be from a physician. You could also try a diet or health magazine or online medical sites like webmd.
In this specific diet, there are specific foods that you are supposed to eat, at certain times. This diet has also been known and called the caveman diet.
Well we are still not sure really but one thing is that plants were a very important part of the paleolithic people's diet
A Palaeolithic diet, when used as either a weight loss diet or a diet for treating diet related disease, is based on limiting carbohydrates rather than calories.
The Paleolithic diet, or caveman diet, can have some nutritional benefits. The diet typically contains foods that are energy dense, which means you can get more nutrients from less amounts of food. Additionally many of the foods in this diet are also high in brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids.
The Caveman diet is a diet that promotes eating what people ate back in the Paleolithic Era. So mainly meats, fish, nuts and berries. Nothing processed or artificial. This diet has worked for some but not everyone. Like most diets, it just depends on the person!
Unfortunately as I researched your question in regards to the Paleolithic Diet it appears your source was incorrect in stating that bacon is encouraged. Bacon is actually one of the items discouraged from the diet. The following are items that you aren't allowed to consume during the diet: refined sugars, grains, starchy tubers (including potatoes), legumes (peanuts, peas, beans), dairy products, some meats (bacon, sausage, lunch meats, hot dogs), and oils. I am adding the website link to my source because it gives you a compiled list of items you can/t consume on the Paleolithic Diet: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/paleodietcavemandiet/a/paleoforbidden.htm.
