THE PALEO DIET
BY DIETITIANS AUSTRALIA
Paleo is also known
as the Palaeolithic
diet, Stone Age diet or
caveman diet.
The Palaeolithic period
of human history
refers to a period
prior to modern
agriculture. The Paleo
diet suggests many
present-day illnesses
and metabolic
disorders occur
because our bodies
haven’t adapted from
Palaeolithic 琀椀mes to a
modern diet.
The paleo diet has
been heavily promoted
in recent 琀椀mes by
celebri琀椀es and health
in昀氀uencers. Many of
these people are not
quali昀椀ed to make these
recommenda琀椀ons.
