    Paleo Diet: Smart eating or latest fad?

    By Michael d'Estries, Mother Nature Network

    In the quest for optimum health and weight, should humans consider looking back at what their ancestors consumed? That's the theory proposed by the "Paleo Diet" (aka, Caveman Diet), which recommends taking cues from the age of hunters and gatherers and leaving some of our modern food groups behind.
    The idea is simple: You eat a diet that's gluten-free, but rich in lean, organic meats, fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruit and nuts. As much as possible should be sourced locally. You exclude grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar and processed oils.
    All of this measures up to a eating regimen that, according to Loren Cordain, professor of health and exercise at Colorado State University, is a "powerful way to normalize health and well-being."
    Cordain is joined by thousands of others who have found similar success on the Paleo

    I see value in any diet that promotes whole, NATURAL food. But excluding things like sweet potatoes like extreme Paleo does isn't sitting well with me. With that said, PALEO is better than 99% of other diets out there.
