According to the Mayo Clinic, the Paleo diet mimics the eating patterns of early humans, focusing on whole foods like lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds—eliminating grains, dairy, legumes, and processed foods. It has gained popularity for its potential to promote weight loss, improve blood sugar control, and reduce inflammation. While many report increased energy and digestive health, experts caution that eliminating entire food groups could lead to nutritional gaps. The diet emphasizes mindful, natural eating, and continues to attract health-conscious individuals seeking simplicity, better nutrition, and sustainable weight management.
