Paleo Diet Food List, Menu, Recipes | Caveman, Paleolithic Foods: The Paleo diet, also called the 'Caveman Diet' or the 'Paleolithic Diet', is focused on eating whole foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and meat and eliminating processed foods such as carbohydrates. It is a low-carb diet, but not a high-protein diet such as the Aitkins Diet, which restricts all carbohydrate such a fruit and vegetables. The basis for the diet is that humans evolved thousands of years ago with their diet based on a gathering and hunting lifestyle, with very little grain cultivation. The foods eaten were game meat, fish, vegetables, wild fruits, eggs, seeds and nuts. This diet high in animal fat and proteins and low in starch-based carbohydrates in wheat oats and rice which would have only been eaten in small amounts as individual seeds. The idea is that human genetics and physiology were adapted to eat wild foods - game, fruit, nuts and seeds.
