Recently there’s been a surge of interest in the Paleo or “Caveman” Diet for rapid fat loss. This style of eating is supposed to reflect what we all ate back in the paleolithic era, when our ancestors were busy hunting woolly Mammoths and living in caves.

What is Paleo Diet?

The concept behind it is simple: we aren’t evolving quickly enough to keep pace with our own technological changes. So in the 10,000 or so years since the paleolithic era finished, we’ve developed agriculture, processed foods and means of transport and work that make us all sedentary and fat.

A Paleo diet seeks to address this by taking the food you eat back to the stone age – and in the process making you leaner, meaner and more like the “grok” of old who was fit and strong enough to catch his own dinner.
