The Paleolithic Diet

Yet another “new” diet:

The diet is usually referred to as the "Paleolithic Diet" referring to the Paleolithic or Stone Age era. It is also referred to as the "Stone Age Diet", "Cave Man Diet" or the "Hunter-Gatherer Diet". More romantic souls like to think of it as the diet that was eaten in the "Garden of Eden" and they are correct in thinking so. . . .

The essentials of the Paleolithic Diet are:

Eat none of the following:

 · Grains- including bread, pasta, noodlesÂ

 · Beans- including string beans, kidney beans, lentils, peanuts, snow-peas and peas · PotatoesÂ

· Dairy products  Â· SugarÂ

· Salt

Eat the following:

 · Meat, chicken and fishÂ

 · Eggs · FruitÂ

· Vegetables (especially root vegetables, but definitely not including potatoes or sweet potatoes)  Â· Nuts, eg. walnuts, brazil nuts, macadamia, almond. Do not eat peanuts (a bean) or cashews (a family of their own)Â

· Berries- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc.

Try to increase your intake of:

 · Root vegetables- carrots, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, SwedesÂ

· Organ meats- liver and kidneys (I accept that many people find these unpalatable and won't eat them)Â

I don't know much about diets, and it doesn't say anything about beer and wine, so I don't know what to think.
