The Paleolithic Diet, more commonly known as the Paleo Diet, the caveman diet or stone-age diet, is an increasingly popular fad diet that promotes a healthy diet including fresh fruit and vegetables, and the avoidance of processed foods, and refined sugar and salt. The foods involved in the diet are based on the presumption that these were the only foods either available or consumed by humans during the Paleolithic era. The diet is supposed to promote the improvement in body composition and metabolic effects compared to the typical Western diet. What makes this diet healthy and what types of food can an individual eat while partaking in it? Keep reading to find out the answers to these burning questions!

The original idea of the Paleolithic Diet can be traced back to the book by gastroenterologist Walter Voegtlin, but popularized by Loren Cordain's bestselling book, The Paleo Diet. The original diet as described in Cordain's book is an individual's daily calorie count for a balanced diet should consist of fifty-five percent seafood and lean meat, fifteen percent each of fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts and seeds. Foods to avoid include no added sugar, salt, or processed foods.

The diet is based on not just avoiding modern, refined foods, but also foods humans began eating after the Neolithic Revolution, or the Agricultural Revolution. Scientifically, experts believe individuals should be eating vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, meat and organ meats, fruit oils such as olive, coconut, and palm oil, fish, and eggs. However, the diet is relatively restrictive, and thus it is considered more of a 'lifestyle' than just a diet, as the foods that compose this diet are based on what the authors believed was the diet of our ancestors.

I am always pleased when my google alert directs me to an article that I believe will be accurately discussing Paleo, or someone who's had success with Paleo, or a great new source for Paleo recipes.

So yesterday, when I received an alert to read a piece in the Tampa Bay Times about Paleo 'gaining support by those who want to get healthy and lose weight' I expected to read an intelligent article about the merits of Paleo.

While there was some of that, there was also some glaring errors.

The following paragraph, and last statement (from an RD) in particular, is perhaps one of the worst:

"Even with a growing legion of adherents, the Paleo diet has its detractors. Some nutrition experts are concerned with increased consumption of saturated fat from the meat-centric diet and a lack of calcium from the elimination of dairy. Also, there is much research that shows legumes and whole grains help fight some diseases of aging and keep blood sugar at appropriate levels. Neither is part of the Paleo diet."There's no real research behind it," Lisa Sassoon, a registered dietitian and assistant clinical professor of nutrition at NYU, told the Huffington Post last year. "And it eliminates things that do have research behind them: grains, beans and low-fat dairy."

Pardon me?

I had to reread it: "There's no real research behind it."

Perhaps what should have been written was that "There's no real money behind it." (As there is behind the Dairy Board and the entire agricultural industry.)

It's one thing to say one doesn't agree with the principles of the diet, but please, get the facts straight. What about the decades of research from Dr. S. Boyd Eaton, Dr. Cordain, The Doctors Eads and Gary Taubes, just to name a few?

To say there is no research behind Paleo would liken it to some gimmicky fad diet created by someone with zero knowledge or expertise and that's simply not fair. It does a huge disservice to anyone interested in learning about how to follow this healthy lifestyle.

How can it be argued that the idea of eating plenty of fresh, local, organic veggies, along with lean, wild meats and healthy, natural fats and avoided processed, refined junk be a great idea?

Meet Mark

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy.

I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness.

The charred remains of a 14,500-year-old pita-like flatbread, made from grinding together cereals and tubers, were discovered in a stone fireplace in the Black Desert in Jordan, according to a study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . Though archeologists and historians have long tied the first baking of bread to the advent of agriculture in the Neolithic era, the new find predates that by more than 5,000 years.

Despite the current popularity of low-carb diets, bread remains one of the most versatile and widely consumed food staples around the world. Yet we still know relatively little about its origins. Until now, no evidence of bread-making had been found from before the emergence of the earliest farming societies, and the oldest-known bread came from a 9,100-year-old site in Turkey.

At its most basic, making bread means mixing flour and water to create a dough or batter, then baking, frying or steaming the mixture. The flatbread discovered at the Black Desert site was made from wild cereals like einkorn, barley or oats, which were ground into flour along with tubers from Bolboschoenus glaucus (aka club-rush or bulrush), a plant that grew in shallow waters.

The site belonged to a group of Stone Age hunter-gatherers called the Natufians, who began to transition from a nomadic lifestyle to a more settled, sedentary one. Archeologists previously uncovered considerable evidence there about the Natufians' diet of meat-including gazelles, hares and birds-and plants. They cooked their food, including the flatbread, in large round fireplaces built on the floor of their huts with flat basalt stones.

The researchers have begun trying to recreate the bread, and have been able to use the club-rush tubers to make flour-with mixed results. "The taste of the tubers is quite gritty and salty," the study's lead author, Amaia Arranz-Otaegui, a postdoctoral researcher in archaeobotany at the University of Copenhagen, told Reuters . "But it is a bit sweet as well."

Because of where they found the bread, Arranz-Otaegui and her colleagues think the Natufians could have made the bread shortly before they left the site, as a light, nutritious and highly portable snack. On the other hand, the relatively labor-intensive method used to make it (dehusking and grinding cereals, kneading the dough and baking) suggests the Natufians might have reserved the bread for feasts held on special occasions.

"The significance of this bread is that it shows investment of extra effort into making food that has mixed ingredients," Dorian Fuller, another co-author of the study, told BBC News . "That implies that bread played a special role for special occasions." From there, Fuller said, it may have been a logical process of deciding to plant and domesticate cereals such as wheat and barley, which "were species that already had a special place in terms of special foods."
