They are feeling better, looking better and gaining confidence with each passing day on the Paleo Diet. The Paleolithic Diet, abbreviated to Paleo Diet, is a nutritional plan based on the ancient diet of plants and animals our species would have consumed from 2.5 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago.
