    Paleo has been around for a while. I've also heard it called the cave-man diet. It has some merrit, but I've met people that take it to extremes and then it gets a little ridiculous. I've also heard that a lot of crossfitters do it.

    It's based on the idea that people today should still eat the same things that our ancient ancesters ate. Nothing processed. Fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, simple things.

    What Wmagoo27 said :)!

    I actually follow a Paleo Diet because I am allergic to gluten, the only exception from the diet is I allow myself cheese. The only processed foods I consume are cheese/dressing and maybe ketchup or something along those lines. If it doesnt come from the Earth/Meat from an animal I dont consume it :)!

    I eat this way because I have too :( There are so many foods out there with hidden gluten in it its almost impossible to eat anything without it... and when you are allergic to it... things get bad FAST!
