The Paleo Diet is a throwback to our roots. It involves
  some pretty in depth research and science by multiple
   doctors at Colorado State University. Their research
indicates that the human body hasn't evolved to properly
        digest many of the modern foods we eat.
Human beings lived as hunter/gatherers for most of their
existence. It hasn't been until recent times, within the last
 10,000 years or so, that we've begun eating many foods
  that are modern staples. The foods our bodies haven't
 adapted to are grains, legumes, dairy and salt. There are
   probably other foods we haven't adapted to as well.
The basic principle of the Paleo Diet is stop poisoning your
 body with foods you're not adapted to eat. Mankind had
   many generations to adapt to eating meat, fish, fowl,
  vegetables, fruits, root tubers and nuts. By sticking to a
   diet that contains these foods primarily, you'll live a
                   healthier, happier life.
If we look at diseases that commonly plague modern man,
   we find that many of them are caused by the foods we
   eat. Some examples of diseases that are claimed to be
caused by our current diet include coronary heart disease,
 hypertension, type 2 diabetes, epithelial cell cancers and
 autoimmune disease as well as others. Many people who
 commonly suffer from these diseases who have tried the
Paleo Diet find relief while on the diet. Other diseases that
  have been mentioned include Celiac disease and lactose
  intolerance. As a matter of fact it is estimated that up to
     75% of the adult population of the world is lactose
                         intolerant.
The Paleo Lifestyle also included much more exercise than
is commonly the case in modern society. It is believed that
    our ancestors walked around 8.5 miles per day. Other
   common tasks were shelter building, gathering wood,
 carrying various heavy objects, digging, dancing and tool
     construction. These activities were done at various
   intervals and any form of exercise we can adopt which
   involves intervals of intense activity seems to help our
                 overall physical wellbeing.
Another thing advocates of the Paleo Diet commonly call
for is a balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 acids as a
 key to good health. Eating more fatty fish such as Salmon
can help with this balance. People who are trying this diet
  are also encouraged to eat meat from grass fed animals
         and eggs from free range grass fed chickens.
Switching to the Paleo Diet is typically not easy. People
who attempt to switch often go through withdrawal like
symptoms and can become irritable. Once a person has
 been on this diet for a week or two, these symptoms
                    should subside.
There are many good resources for learning more about
 this diet on the internet. I would encourage anyone who
 wants to learn more to read some of Dr. Loren Cordain's
writings. Robb Wolf also has written a good deal about it. I
 would also encourage anyone who see's some common
sense in the science behind this diet to just give the diet a
                try. You may be glad you did!
